The work of CIGRE Study Committee B4 covers all aspects of HVDC and Power Electronics. The work includes monitoring the performance of existing transmission systems, planning, design, testing and operational issues of the new projects. The scope of B4 addresses all the relevant target groups in the power industry interested in power electronics. Economic and environmental subjects of this techn...

Leukotriene B4, at the same intracutaneous doses as bradykinin, reduced the nociceptive threshold in the rat paw. The mechanism of leukotriene B4-induced hyperalgesia was distinguished from that of the hyperalgesia elicited by prostaglandin E2 and bradykinin by its dependence on polymorphonuclear leukocytes and independence of the cyclooxygenation of arachidonic acid.

This Phase II trial was undertaken to determine the safety, toxicity, and potential efficacy of the B-cell restricted immunotoxin anti-B4-blocked ricin (Anti-B4-bR) when administered as adjuvant therapy to patients in complete remission (CR) after autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) for B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Forty-nine patients with B-cell NHL in CR 46-202 days (median,...

We are studying afferent transmission from a mechanoafferent, B21, to a follower, B8. During motor programs, afferent transmission is regulated so that it does not always occur. Afferent transmission is eliminated when spike propagation in B21 fails, i.e., when spike initiation is inhibited in one output region-B21's lateral process. Spike initiation in the lateral process is inhibited by the B...
