Two isoforms of the GH receptor, the full-length receptor (GHRL) and a short isoform (GHRS) that lacks the transmembrane and intracellular domains of GHRL, have been analyzed in rat tissue extracts by Western blotting and immunoprecipitation. Although quantitative estimates of GHRS and GHRL based on coprecipitation of [125I]GH indicated similar amounts of both isoforms in tissue extracts, the 1...

To realize a hydrogen economy, many studies are being conducted regarding the development and analysis of carriers. Recently, formic acid has been receiving attention as potential carrier due to its high volumetric energy density relatively safe characteristics. However, refueling systems using very different from conventional stations, quantitative risks assessments need be verify their usage....

The tight correlation between turbulence and luminosity in giant HII regions (GHRs) is not well understood. While the due to UV radiation from massive stars ionizing clusters, it clear what powers turbulence. Observations of two prototypical GHRs local Universe, 30 Doradus NGC 604, show that part kinetic energy nebular gas comes combined stellar winds most stars, cluster winds, but all. We pres...

In these latest years, the detection of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in Giant HII Regions (GHRs) has yielded several questions about our current understanding of massive stars evolution and hot expanding atmospheres, the age of the ionizing populations and their impact onto the physical properties of GHRs. Here, we present spectrophotometric observations of 4 extragalactic GHRs which show WR features ...

BACKGROUND Recurrent respiratory tract infections (RRTIs) have a negative impact on both children's health and family wellbeing. Deficiency of ZhengQi used to be an instinct factor driving RRTI in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Our clinical observations suggest that children with gastrointestinal heat retention syndrome (GHRS) may have a greater risk of catching respiratory tract infection...

Using the HST Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS), we have obtained high S/N echelle observations of the weak interstellar N I 1160,1161 absorption doublet toward the stars Cas, Ori, Ori, Ori, Sco and Sco. In combination with a previous GHRS measurement of N I toward Oph, these new observations yield a mean interstellar gas-phase nitrogen abundance (per 10 H atoms) of 10 N/H = 75 4 ( 1 ...

Somatolactin (SL) in fish belongs to the growth hormone/prolactin family. Its ortholog in tetrapods has not been identified and its function(s) remains largely unknown. The SL-deficient mutant of medaka (color interfere, ci) and an SL receptor (SLR) recently identified in salmon provide a fascinating field for investigating SL's function(s) in vivo. Here we isolated a medaka ortholog of the sal...

OBJECTIVES To study the diagnostic delay for pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and the sensitivity of the auxological criteria of the Growth Hormone Research Society (GHRS) consensus guidelines. METHODS A single-center retrospective case-cohort study covering records from January 2000 through December 2007 evaluated the performance of each GHRS ...

I review the results obtained using the GHRS on low redshift Lyman α absorbers. Until the advent of HST and the GHRS, the existence of such absorbers was doubted. The confirmation of their existence, in one of the first GHRS GTO team results to be published, must rank as one of the HSTs most interesting results. The GHRS resolution allows us to probe equivalent widths well below those detectabl...
