This study investigated the effects of graded reflex increases in renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) on renal preglomerular and postglomerular vascular resistances. With the use of hypoxia to reflexly elicit increases in RSNA without affecting mean arterial pressure, renal function and stop-flow pressures were measured in three groups of rabbits before and after exposure to room air and mo...

Health reform is the outcome of dispersed policy initiatives in different sectors, at different levels and across time. Policy work which can drive coherent health reform needs to operate across the governance structures as well as the institutions that comprise healthcare systems. Building policy capacity to support health reform calls for clarity regarding the nature of such policy work and t...

Previous work on the vessels of the frog mesentery by the micro-injection method (Landis, 1926a) has indicated a balance between the average capillary blood pressure and the osmotie pressure of the plasma proteins. The fact that the average pressure in the arteriolar capillary is aboveand in the venous capillary is below-the osmotic pressure of the plasma colloids is regarded as evidence favori...

a capillary electrophoresis method was used for assay of some degradation products of carvedilol. the optimized parameters were as; running buffer 80 mm acetate dissolved in methanol/ethanol mixture (65:35 v/v), applied voltage of 19 kv, temperature is 20 ºc and the wavelength range of 200-350 nm. the results indicate that the proposed ce method could effectively separate carvedilol from its de...

this paper develops new results on the use of model predictive control to regulate the attitude of a ground station antenna. two degree of freedom az-el pedestal is considered as ground station antenna. permanent magnet synchronous motors are taken into consideration as the best choice for satisfaction of control objectives as actuators. the design is based on a two cascade controller consist o...

Two fused-silica capillaries of considerably different inner diameter (75 and 10 microm) were used for the separation of a set of five standard proteins. The separations were run in acid pH (50 mM phosphate buffer, pH 2.5). Generally better separations (with minor tailing only) were obtained using a standard capillary [27 cm (20 cm effective length)x 75 microm I.D.] in comparison with a narrow ...
