6.01 Surface and shallow undersion, as functions of the distance from ground bursts are defined as those in ground (surface) zero \(§ 2.34 footnote), which either the fireball or the hot, can then be obtained from the curves high-pressure gases generated by the given at the end of Chapter III. The cube explosion intersect or break through the root scaling law described there can be earth's surf...

OBJECTIVE Spinal cord stimulation is a commonly used, safe, and effective procedure applied for medically intractable failed back surgery syndrome, as well as other neuropathic pain syndromes. Recently, a novel stimulation paradigm called burst stimulation has been developed that is paresthesia-free and has a more pronounced suppressive effect on neuropathic pain. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fiftee...

Studies of small trees growing in pots have established that individual amino acids or amides are translocated in the xylem sap of a range of tree species following bud burst, as a consequence of nitrogen (N) remobilization from storage. This paper reports the first study of N translocation in the xylem of large, deciduous, field-grown trees during N remobilization in the spring. We applied 15N...

UNLABELLED Supplementation of standardized fermented papaya preparation (FPP) to adult diabetic mice improves dermal wound healing outcomes. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients elicit a compromised respiratory burst activity resulting in increased risk of infections for the diabetic patients. AIMS The objectives of the current study were to...

The neutrophil respiratory burst, which is essential for the host's ability to kill microorganisms, can be stimulated by some natural agents. Olea europaea (Oleaceae) is used as anti hypertensive, hyperglycemia, and hypercholestremia in traditional medicine. Here in this study, we evaluate the stimulatory effect of olive oil extract on oxidative burst in human neutrophils in vitro. Buffy coat w...

Electrophysiological signals were recorded from primary cultures of dissociated rat cortical neurons coupled to MicroElectrode Arrays (MEAs). The neuronal discharge patterns may change under varying physiological and pathological conditions. For this reason, we developed a new burst detection method able to identify bursts with peculiar features in different experimental conditions (i.e. sponta...

Functional changes of acetylcholine receptor (AChR) channels in embryonic Xenopus myotomal muscle cells were examined during their development in culture. Single-channel currents evoked by 50 or 500 nM ACh were measured using the patch-clamp technique. In Xenopus myocytes the first emergence of AChRs takes place at about stage 20 (Nieuwkoop and Faber). Myotomes were dissociated at very early st...

Neutrophils are one of the first cells to arrive at the site of infection, where they apply several strategies to kill pathogens: degranulation, respiratory burst, phagocytosis, and release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Antibiotics have an immunomodulating effect, and they can influence the properties of numerous immune cells, including neutrophils. The aim of this study was to inve...

The effect of the timing of discrete bursts of efferent vagal impulses on heart rate was determined in anesthetized dogs. Two modes of stimulation were employed. In the first mode, one stimulus burst was delivered per cardiac cycle. As the time from the beginning of the P wave to the vagal stimulus (P-St interval) was progressively increased, there was first a progressive lengthening of the car...

This paper considers a variety of econometric models for the joint distribution of stock and bond returns in the presence of regime switching dynamics. While simple twoor three-state models capture the univariate dynamics in bond and stock returns, a more complicated four state model with regimes characterized as crash, slow growth, bull and bull burst states is required to capture the joint di...
