Phillippe, Mark, Trevania Saunders, and Andrew Basa. Intracellular mechanisms underlying prostaglandin F2a-stimulated phasic myometrial contractions. Am. J. Physiol. 273 (Endocrinol. Metab. 36): E665–E673, 1997.—These studies sought to test the hypothesis that prostaglandin F2a (PGF2a)-stimulated phasic myometrial contractions are characterized by the activation of the phosphatidylinositolsigna...

A novel analog of prostaglandin F2a [AL-8810; (5Z, 13E)(9S,11S,15R)-9,15-dihydroxy-11-fluoro-15-(2-indanyl)-16,17, 18,19,20-pentanor-5,13-prostadienoic acid] has been discovered with uniquely low efficacy (Emax) at the endogenous prostaglandin F2a receptors (FP receptors) of A7r5 rat thoracic aorta smooth muscle cells and Swiss mouse 3T3 fibroblasts, as assayed by stimulation of phospholipase C...

An effort has been made to integrate insights on charge-based interactions in immune complex glomerulonephritis with nuclear antigen involvement in lupus nephritis. Attention was focussed on the histones, a group of highly cationic nuclear constituents, which could be expected to bind to fixed anionic sites present in the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). We demonstrated that all histone subf...

The nuclear structure function F2A(x) has been studied in the Bjorken limit for (l, l) scattering on nuclei in the region of x > 1 and was found to be very sensitive to the information contained in the nucleon spectral function in nuclei, particularly the correlations between momenta and energies in the region of large momenta. Calculations were done in a local density approximation using two d...

The presented paper deals with the use of physical modelling to study degassing process aluminium melts in refining ladle by blowing inert gas through a rotating impeller. For purposes modelling, plexiglass model scale 1:1 is used for operating ladle. Part hollow shaft supply that equipped an impeller and two baffles. melt simulated at decrease dissolved oxygen liquid (water). This aimed evalua...
