We report the tissue distribution and clinical monitoring of the novel macrolide immunosuppressant SDZ-RAD ¿40-O-(2-hydroxyethyl)-rapamycin and its metabolites in monkey lung transplant recipients as well as its interaction with cyclosporine as the Neoral formulation. After left unilateral lung transplantation, cynomolgus monkeys received by oral administration either 1) 1.5 mg/kg/day SDZ-RAD (...

Abstract. An improved version of the near-real-time decision tool PARAFOG (PFG2) is presented to retrieve pre-fog alert levels and discriminate between radiation (RAD) stratus lowering (STL) fog situations. PFG2 has two distinct modules monitor physical processes involved in RAD STL formation evaluated at European sites. The are based on innovative fuzzy logic algorithms (low, moderate, high) s...

Stable hydrodynamic lubrication film is needed between the tooth profiles for smooth running and long life ofa single-screw compressor. This lubrication film is easily established with "straight line enveloping screw pair" rotors, but this kind of engagement pair is very difficult to machine. In this paper it is suggested that 11 a conical surface two-envelope engagement pair '' be used as the ...

PURPOSE To examine the changes in performance of active plantar flexor muscles of rats by controlled dorsiflexion (i.e., stretching of muscles) at two angular velocities. METHODS Repeated stretches (30) at two velocities of ankle rotation [slow stretch (0.87 rads x s(-1) (i.e., 50 degrees x (s-1))), fast stretch (10.47 rad x s(-1) (i.e., 600 degrees x s-1))] were superimposed on maximally act...

‎Let $M$ be a non-zero finitely generated module over a commutative Noetherian local ring $(R,mathfrak{m})$ with $dim_R(M)=t$‎. ‎Let $I$ be an ideal of $R$ with $grade(I,M)=c$‎. ‎In this article we will investigate several natural homomorphisms of local cohomology modules‎. ‎The main purpose of this article is to investigate when the natural homomorphisms $gamma‎: ‎Tor^{R}_c(k,H^c_I(M))to kotim...

The objective of the present study was to investigate the impact of muscle length during stretch-shortening cycles on static and dynamic muscle performance. Animals were randomly assigned to an isometric (control, Con, n = 12), a short-muscle-length (S-Inj, 1.22-2.09 rad, n = 12), or a long-muscle-length (L-Inj, 1.57-2.44 rad, n = 12) group. The dorsiflexor muscles were exposed in vivo to 7 set...

let $g$ be a finite group‎. ‎a subgroup‎ ‎$h$ of $g$ is called an $mathcal{h}$-subgroup in‎ ‎$g$ if $n_g(h)cap h^{g}leq h$ for all $gin‎ ‎g$. a subgroup $h$ of $g$ is called a weakly‎ ‎$mathcal{h}^{ast}$-subgroup in $g$ if there exists a‎ ‎subgroup $k$ of $g$ such that $g=hk$ and $hcap‎ ‎k$ is an $mathcal{h}$-subgroup in $g$. we‎ ‎investigate the structure of the finite group $g$ under the‎ ‎as...

The mortality rate for patients with acute renal failure (ARF) remains unacceptably high. Although dialysis removes waste products and corrects fluid imbalance, it does not perform the absorptive, metabolic, endocrine, and immunologic functions of normal renal tubule cells. The renal tubule assist device (RAD) is composed of a conventional hemofilter lined by monolayers of renal cells. For test...
