In this study, we tested the hypothesis that myocardial ischemia induced by exercise in patients is associated with diminished metabolism and/or delayed clearance of an intravenously injected fatty acid, iodine 123-labeled phenylpentadecanoic acid (IPPA). Fifteen normal volunteers and 18 patients with significant coronary heart disease (CHD) received IPPA during exercise. In the patients with C...

The aims of the present study were to provide a contribution to the validation of the three versions of the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA) (Armsden & Greenberg, 1989) relative to mother, father, and peers, and to verify the validity of the attachment style classifications suggested by Armsden and Greenberg (1987) and Vivona (2000). The IPPA measures adolescent parent and peer at...

Chiral MnIII (salen) complex supported on modified ZPS-PVPA (zirconium poly(styrenephenylvinylphosphonate)) and ZPS-IPPA (zirconium poly(styrene-isopropenyl phosphonate)) were prepared using –CH2Cl as a reactive surface modifier by a covalent grafting method. The supported catalysts showed higher chiral induction (ee: 72%–83%) compared with the corresponding homogeneous catalyst (ee: 54%) for a...

The rate constant for free fatty acid influx (k1) was studied in normal and ischemic myocardium. In 15 normal subjects and 30 patients with coronary artery disease, 201Tl and 15-(p-123I-iodophenyl)-pentadecanoic acid (IPPA) were administered during exercise under fasting conditions and at rest. In 10 patients, the study was repeated after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty; in three...

A triglyceride analog, glycerol-2-palmitoyl-1,3-di-15-(p-iodophenyl)pentadecanoate (DPPG) was synthesized and radiolabeled for evaluation as a potential functional liver scintigraphic agent. Uptake of DPPG was compared in normal, diabetic, tumor-bearing and heparin pretreated rats, revealing differences in uptake and clearance of radioactivity, correlating with hepatic lipase activity of these ...

The ongoing transformations in the modern world have a significant impact on sustainable development of national economies, unify requirements for human capital, and its educational level. Taking into account current trends, governments are taking measures to ensure maintain link between education, economy socio-economic development. These also change approaches engineering training. At same ti...

Internal working models of attachment (IWMs) are presumed to be largely unconscious representations of childhood attachment experiences. Several instruments have been developed to assess IWMs; some of them are based on self-report and others on narrative interview techniques. This study investigated the capacity of a self-report measure, the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA; Armsde...

Original scientific paper Authorizing can be described as an endogenous system signal that determines whether a job release is allowed or not. Whereas job releases are scheduled in push systems, they are authorized in pull systems since pull-type manufacturing systems are controlled by downstream information. Traditionally, process planning and authorizing are regarded as separate tasks perform...
