Time Delay Spectrometry (TDS) is a technique used to measure both frequency and time responses of acoustic and electrical systems. TDS theory is presented in both intuitive and mathematical terms. The theoretical limitations of current TDS technology are described. A new extension to TDS theory is introduced which has the potential to signiicantly improve TDS measurements. Implementation issues...

INTRODUCTION  Testosterone deficiency syndrome (TDS) is characterized by clinical signs of testosterone deficiency in men with reduced testosterone levels. It leads to endothelial dysfunction, which, apart from erectile dysfunction, accelerates atherosclerosis progression. OBJECTIVES  The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of testosterone supplementation in men with metabolic syndrom...

The organisation of transcription in the mammalian nucleus is a topic of particular interest because of its relevance to gene regulation. RNA polymerase II transcription occurs at hundreds of sites throughout the nucleoplasm. Recent data indicate that coordinately regulated genes can localise to shared transcription sites. Other transcribed sequences have also been shown to cluster in the nucle...

In this article, we have developed models for threading dislocation ~TD! reduction due to the introduction of an intentionally strained layer. Three different types of dislocations have been considered in this model: misfit dislocations ~MDs!, mobile TDs, and TDs whose glide motion has been blocked by a MD crossing the glide path of the TD ~immobile TDs!. The models are based on MD formation by...

Transdermal Delivery System (TDS) is a liquid formulation which can be applied to the skin via a metered pump spray to deliver drug across skin. This placebo controlled, double blind trial compared anaesthetic properties of two TDS systems (TDS alpha and TDS beta) with placebo. The active and placebo treatments were applied to the dorsum of the hands, bilaterally and simultaneously for 5 min on...

The 3.0-3.1A X-ray structures of the cytochrome b(6)f complex from Mastigocladus laminosus and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii obtained in the presence of the p-side quinone-analogue inhibitor tridecyl-stigmatellin (TDS) are very similar. A difference occurs in the p-side binding position of TDS. In C.reinhardtii, TDS binds in the ring-in mode, as previously found for stigmatellin in X-ray structures...

The role of calcium ions (Ca) in the generation of transient depolarizations (TDs) by acetylstrophanthidin was examined. Transmembrane activity was recorded from isolated canine false tendons exposed to acetylstrophanthidin; concentrations from 7.5 X 10"" to 2 X 10-" g/ml caused TDs coupled to driven action potentials and depressed slow diastolic depolarization. TDs could reach threshold and in...
