The purpose of this study was to characterize in vitro the transport mechanisms of Ab40 across the liver using sandwich-cultured primary rat hepatocytes (SCHs) and to determine its biliary clearance ...

The decentralized adaptive technique, designed independently for local subsystems and using locally available signals for feedback propose, is an appropriate strategy to be employed. In the context of decentralized adaptive control, a number of results ha...
