The heart is a major consumer of energy and is able to utilise a wide range of substrates including lipids. Nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) were thought to be a favoured carbon source, but their quantitative contribution is limited because of their relative histotoxicity. Circulating triacylglycerols (TAGs) in the form of chylomicrons (CMs) and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) are an altern...

A search was made for relativistic qnarks of charge e/3 in cosmic-ray showers at sea level. A hodoscope of wire proportional counters was used, which was capable of measuring location and specific ionization of several particles arriving simultaneously, An upper limit for the Qux of quarks observed singly in the apparatus was established, with 90% confidence, at 1.9x10 ~ sec cm sr . Correspondi...

Background and Aims: Small dense  low-density lipoproteins (sd-LDL) particles are smaller and heavier than typical LDL ones. They can penetrate into the endothelium of coronary arteries more easily because of their small size. Diabetes mellitus is accompanied by dyslipidemia such as increasing concentration of plasma very low density lipoprotein and sd-LDL. Peroxisome proliferator activated rec...

Centrifugal sedimentation of particles suspended in a fluid is a well known method (1, 2) to measure the size distribution of particles in the range of about 0.02 micron to about 20 microns. The sedimentation velocity of any particle can be calculated if the particle density, fluid density, fluid viscosity, and centrifugal acceleration are known, using the well known Stokes' Equation (3). Stoke...

in this research between 3-dimensional and axisymmetric modeling for movement of nano-particles in passing through a aerodynamic lens, and also between these models and famous model of wang & liu was compared. for this purpose, output of nano-particles penetration, divergence angel, and nano-particle velocity with wang & liu model was compared. geometrical model used for aerodynamic lens compar...
