Respiratory-related discharge in the hypoglossal (XII) nerve is composed of preinspiratory (pre-I) and inspiratory (I) activity. Our first purpose was to test the hypothesis that hypoxia-induced plasticity in XII motor output is differentially expressed in pre-I vs. I XII bursting. Short-term potentiation (STP) of XII motor output was induced in urethane-anesthetized, vagotomized, and ventilate...

The principal objective of the current study was to elucidate the potential influence of acid mine drainage (AMD) pond on neighboring farmer's wells in the Podwiśniówka area (south-central Poland), using North American Shale Composite (NASC)-normalized rare earth element (REE) concentration profiles. The well waters generally displayed a distinctly positive Eu anomaly similar to that of parent ...

Differential SAR Interferometry (D-InSAR) is an effective tool in monitoring land subsidence because of its greater coverage area and better resolution of height change. A series of Japanese Earth Resources Satallite-1 (JERS-1) images from 1992 to 1998 has been used in monitoring the mine subsidence in the test site of this study, one of the important coal mining areas in China. D-InSAR procedu...

All sorts of anomaly graphs of physical geography and geochemistry, such as aeromagnetic anomaly graphs, bouguer gravity anomaly graphs, regional geochemical anomaly graphs and so on, are all parameters for exploration deposit. And following the remote sensing image shortwave and infrared bands coming, researchers of remote sense have engaged in many highly effective experiments and have approv...

Involvement of the contact system of coagulation in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases is suggested by reduced plasma levels of factor XII (Hageman factor) and prekallikrein generally considered to result from activation of the contact system. However, in many of these diseases patients develop an acute-phase response and, therefore, an alternative explanation for the decreased l...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have emerged as one of the most important research areas, large numbers of limited resource sensor nodes are used to monitor the physical environment and report any significant information. Many different anomaly detection systems (ADS) have been proposed in the literature over the years. Now apply an algorithm to increase detection sensitivity. Detection of sens...

A discrete analogue of generalized Burr-type XII distribution is introduced using a general approach of discretizing a continuous distribution. It may be worth exploring the possibility of developing a discrete version of the six parameter generalized Burr-type XII distribution for use in modeling a discrete data. This distribution is suggested as a suitable reliability model to fit a range of ...

Most intrusion detection approaches rely on the analysis of the packet logs recording each noticeable event happening in the network system. Network connections are then constructed on the basis of these packet logs. Searching for abnormal connections is where the application of data mining techniques for anomaly detection promise great potential benefits. Anyway, mining packet logs poses addit...

Purified bovine factor XII was radiolabeled with iodine-125 and its binding to kaolin studied. Binding was rapid and was not readily reversible upon adding unlabeled factor XII. The optimum pH for binding was in the region of pH 5-7. The isoelectric point of factor XII was pH 5.7. High concentrations of urea or increasing the ionic strength of the medium did not inhibit binding. Polyvalent macr...
