Web mining is the application of data mining techniques to extract knowledge from Web. Web mining has been explored to a vast degree and different techniques have been proposed for a variety of applications that includes Web Search, Classification and Personalization etc. The primary goal of the web site is to provide the relevant information to the users. Web mining technique is used to catego...

Dynorphin A (DYN)(l pM) decreased somatic calcium-dependent action potential (CAP) duration of a portion of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in a naloxone reversible manner. Responses to DYN differed from responses to Leu-enkephalin in that only DYN decreases of somatic CAP duration were associated with decreased action potential after hyperpolarization and persisted after intracellular injec...

The advent of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors has enabled real-time wall shear stress (WSS) measurements with high spatial and temporal resolution in a 3-D bifurcation model. To optimize intravascular shear stress assessment, we evaluated the feasibility of catheter/coaxial wire-based MEMS sensors in the abdominal aorta of the New Zealand white (NZW) rabbits. Theoretical and compu...

Because pial artery dilation during a 20- or 40-min hypoxic exposure was less than that observed during a 5- or 10-min exposure, stimulus duration determines the vascular response to hypoxia. Dynorphin (Dyn) modulates hypoxic pial dilation and contributes to decremented dilation during longer hypoxic exposures. This study was designed to determine whether vasopressin (VP) contributes to Dyn mod...

Alcoholism is a chronic relapsing disorder characterized by continued alcohol use despite numerous adverse consequences. Alcohol has been shown to interact with numerous neurotransmitter systems to exert its pharmacological effects. The endogenous opioid system (EOS) has been strongly implicated in the positive and negative reinforcing effects of alcohol. Traditionally recognized as dysphoric/a...

End-systolic left ventricular (LV) meridional wall stress is a quantitative index of true myocardial afterload that can be plotted against LV end-systolic diameter to give an index of contractility independent of loading conditions. We developed a noninvasive method for estimating end-systolic LV meridional wall stress based on M-mode LV echographic end-systolic diameter (LVID) and posterior wa...

In this paper we generalize several results on uniform approximation orders with radial basis functions in (Buhmann, Dyn and Levin, 1993) and (Dyn and Ron, 1993) to L-approximation orders. These results apply, in particular, to approximants from spaces spanned by translates of radial basis functions by scattered centres. Examples to which our results apply include quasi-interpolation and least-...
