To quantify the interaction between epinephrine infusion and carotid sinus baroreceptor reflex control of vascular capacity and resistance, we have simultaneously measured total systemic compliance, Ct, arterial compliance, Ca, changes in "unstressed vascular volume," AV0, and resistance, R, in nine dogs whose carotid sinuses were isolated and cardiac output fixed by a perfusion pump. In respon...

Soil destruction by abiotic environmental conditions, such as high salinity, has resulted in dramatic losses of arable land, giving rise to the need of studying mechanisms of plant adaptation to salt stress aimed at creating salt-tolerant plants. Recently, it has been reported that cytokinins (CKs) regulate plant environmental stress responses through two-component systems. A decrease in endoge...

High-dose melphalan 200 mg/m(2) (MEL 200) is the standard of care as a conditioning regimen for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) for multiple myeloma (MM). We compared a novel conditioning combination incorporating busulfan, melphalan, and bortezomib (BUMELVEL) versus standard MEL 200 in newly diagnosed patients undergoing AHSCT for MM. Between July 2009 and May 2012, ...

The positive effects of nanofluid-assisted minimum quantity lubrication include improved performance during machining and environmental sustainability. In the present study two cutting parameters levels such as feed rate 0.05 (mm/rev)- depth cut 0.1(mm)-cutting speed 80(m/min) 0.15(mm/rev)-depth 0.3(mm)-cutting 200(m/min) has been used in hard turning D2 steel. It was determined that 0.3% ZrO 2...

We analysed the movements of the growing yellow phase using a long-term mark–recapture programme on European eels in a small catchment (the Frémur, France). The results showed that of the yellow eels (>200 mm) recaptured, more than 90% were recaptured at the original marking site over a long period before the silvering metamorphosis and downstream migration. We conclude that yellow European eel...

INTRODUCTION Le Bihan et al (1) proposed using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) based on intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) to distinguish pure molecular diffusion and microcirculation, or blood perfusion, by acquiring DW data with the diffusion sensitivity parameter b at low values (<200 sec/mm and at high values (>200 s/mm). The ability of IVIM to provide sensitive and specific values for th...

2, 3-bis (2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-5-[(phenylamino) carbonyl]-2H-tetrazolium hydroxide (XTT) reduction assay has been used to study Candida biofilm formation. However, considering that the XTT reduction assay is dependent on cell activity, its use for evaluating mature biofilms may lead to inaccuracies since biofilm bottom cell layers tend to be relatively quiescent at later stages of b...
