It has been assumed that all G(i)-coupled receptors trigger the protective action of preconditioning by means of an identical intracellular signaling pathway. To test this assumption, rabbit hearts were isolated and perfused with Krebs buffer. All hearts were subjected to a 30-minute coronary artery occlusion followed by 120 minutes of reperfusion. Risk area was measured with fluorescent partic...

Calcineurin modulates G proteincoupled receptor-mediated inhibition of the N-type Ca mediated inhibition of N-type calcium channels in rat sympathetic channels in rat sympathetic neurons from the male rat major neurons. J. Neurophysiol. 78: 1161–1169, 1997. The modulation pelvic ganglion (MPG) was greatly reduced. The muscarinic of N-type voltage-gated calcium (Ca) ...

Neutron grating interferometry provides information on phase and small-angle scatter in addition to attenuation. Previously, moir\'e interferometers (PGMI) with two- or three-phase gratings have been developed. These phase-grating systems use the far-field technique avoid need for high-aspect absorption used Talbot-Lau (TLI) which reduce neutron flux reaching detector. We first demonstrate thro...

A new highly efficient, visible light active, silver vanadate/polymeric carbonitride “core/shell” photocatalyst was prepared mechano-chemically by grinding mixtures of β-silver vanadate and mesoporous graphitic carbonitride. Besides the core/shell photocatalyst, vanadate/mesoporous polymeric composites supported mpg-C3N4@β-silver vanadates were prepared. The materials characterized transmission...

In management of carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere, the authors argue that it is far superior to control upstream where the carbon leaves the ground in a limited number of places than further downstream as carbon dioxide is released in a myriad of locations. The authors note that none of the proposals being discussed politically assure this, and they control sector by sector, allo...

The poorly-studied, faint (18 < mpg < 19.5) variable star CC Boötis has been noted in the literature as a candidate for a halo red giant. It proves instead to be a quasi-stellar object of redshift z = 0.172, and is detected as an X-ray source by ROSAT. In addition to its odd heritage, CC Boo exhibits unusually high amplitude optical variability for an optically-selected QSO.
