The use of dye-doped liquid crystals allows the amplification coupling light and crystals. Light can induce self-organization molecular order. appearance ring patterns has been observed, which associated with phase modulation. However, morphology dynamics are not consistent self-modulation. Based on an experimental setup two parallel coherence beams orthogonal to a crystal cell, one induces pho...

Diversity-oriented synthesis of structurally complex and diverse small molecules can be used as the first step in a process to explore cellular and organismal pathways. The success of this process is likely going to be dependent on advances in the synthesis of small molecules having natural product-like structures in an efficient and stereoselective manner. The development, scope, and mechanism...

This study was designed to investigate the effects of L-arginine (the substrate for the formation of endothelium-derived nitric oxide) in vascular tissues. Rat aortic rings, with or without endothelium, were suspended in organ chambers for the measurement of isometric tension; they were contracted with phenylephrine (10-6 M). After a short incubation period (0.5 hour) in physiological salt solu...

ÐWe study four augmentations of ring networks which are intended to enhance a ring's efficiency as a communication medium significantly, while increasing its structural complexity only modestly. Chordal rings add ashortcuto edges, which can be viewed as chords, to the ring. Express rings are chordal rings whose chords are routed outside the ring. Multirings append subsidiary rings to edges of a...

in this paper we define a new type of rings ”almost powerhermitian rings” (a generalization of almost hermitian rings) and establish several sufficient conditions over a ring r such that, every regular matrix admits a diagonal power-reduction.

Crocus sativus L. (saffron) is a widely used food additive for its color and taste. The hypotensive effects of saffron have been shown in previous studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanism of vasodilatory effects induced by saffron on isolated rat aorta.To study the vasodilatory effects of saffron aqueous extract (0.5, 1 and 2 mg/mL), isolated rat thoracic aorta rings were co...

BACKGROUND A "saddle-shaped" mitral annulus with an optimal ratio between annular height and commissural diameter may reduce leaflet and chordal stress and is purported to be conserved across mammalian species. Whether annuloplasty rings maintain this relationship is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-three adult sheep underwent implantation of radiopaque markers on the left ventricle and mi...
