The surface distribution of the plasma membrane Ca2+ (Mg2+)-ATPase (ecto-ATPase) in rat hepatocytes was determined by several methods. 1) Two polyclonal antibodies specific for the ecto-ATPase were used to examine the distribution of the enzyme in frozen sections of rat liver by immunofluorescence. Fluorescent staining was observed at the bile canalicular region of hepatocytes. 2) Plasma membra...

This paper considers the problem of estimating the parameters of real-valued two-dimensional (2-D) sinusoidal signals observed in colored noise. This problem is a special case of the general problem of estimating the parameters of a real-valued homogeneous random field with mixed spectral distribution from a single observed realization of it. The large sample properties of the least squares (LS...

The structure of a high-loading complex of ZSM-5 with 6.4 toluene molecules per unit cell has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. At least three kinds of toluene molecules were identified in the unit cell. Two disordered toluene molecules were located at the intersection of the straight and sinusoidal channels, the third in the sinusoidal channel. One (TOL1) of the two toluene ...

The anisotropy of temperature is studied here in a strong two-dimensional shock wave, simulated with conventional molecular dynamics. Several forms of the kinetic temperature are considered, corresponding to different choices for the local instantaneous stream velocity. A local particle-based definition omitting any "self"-contribution to the stream velocity gives the best results. The configur...

The 17th ISCHS took place in Osaka, Japan, on 23 to 25 September 2013. This symposium focuses on an exchange of views on the structure and function of hepatic sinusoidal cells in addition to their roles in clinical pathophysiology.

The influence of temperature on contractile performance, total myocardial stiffness, and the elastic and viscous components of stiffness was studied in intact hearts (dog) and isolated cardiac muscle (cat). In 12 dogs on whole-heart bypass, stiffness (AP/AV) was determined by inducing sinusoidal 0.5-ml volume changes in paced, isovolumically contracting left ventricles and measuring the resulta...

In this paper, we report on the sharp peak observed in the third harmonic voltage response generated by a bias sinusoidal current applied to several strips patterned in a YBa2Cu3O7−δ thin film and in two La1−xSrxCuO4 thin films, when the temperature is close to the normal-superconductor transition. The lambda-shaped temperature dependence of the third harmonic signal on the current characterist...

This paper reports the use of a novel thermometry technique, scanning Joule expansion microscopy (SJEM), to study the steady state and dynamic thermal behavior of small geometry vias under sinusoidal and pulsed current stress for the first time. Spatial distribution of temperature rise surrounding a sub-micron via has been determined and the corresponding temperature contour image has been extr...

In this study, the performance of a novel method where an antibacterial solution is pressurized and sprayed into recirculated air through nozzles, investigated numerically. This resembles jet in crossflow problem mixes with ventilation further adheres to inner surfaces duct. The motion particles dispersed described as advection passive scalar, i. e., temperature, allowing for single-phase flow ...
