The relationship between a selective increase in circulating immunoreactive (ir)-inhibin and the time of ovulation was investigated in mares. Concentrations of plasma ir-inhibin were measured every 4 h during the periovulatory period. Inhibin pro-αC, a precursor protein of the inhibin α-subunit, was also measured. The changes in ir-inhibin and inhibin pro-αC in circulation were parallel. Concen...

We study physics potential of Very Long Base-Line (VLBL) Neutrino-Oscillation Experiments with the High Intensity Proton Accelerator (HIPA), which will be completed by the year 2007 in Tokai-village, Japan, as a joint project of KEK and JAERI (Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute). The HIPA 50 GeV proton beam will deliver neutrino beams of a few GeV range with the intensity about two orders o...

OBJECTIVE The feto-placental unit is the major source of circulating concentrations of inhibin A and activin A in human pregnancy. The aim of this study was to measure the amniotic fluid concentrations of inhibin A, inhibin B, activin A and follistatin in pregnancies bearing male and female fetuses. DESIGN AND METHOD Amniotic fluid samples collected by amniocentesis were stored at -20 degrees...

The effect of base temperature variation on the heat transfer from unsteady state annular heat sink of cooling microelectronic device. Three types of the base temperature variation equations are taken in the present study. The Sine wave variation, Cosine wave variation & exponential variation of the base temperature. The finite element technique based on Galerkin method with axisymmetric rectan...

To test the hypothesis that dimeric inhibin A and/or inhibin B concentrations represent improved markers of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome over follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), 78 women who achieved pregnancy within three assisted reproduction treatment cycles were matched to 78 women who underwent at least three assisted reproductive treatment cycles and failed to achieve pregnancy. B...

Previous studies have shown that changes in the plasma concentrations of immunoreactive inhibin measured by radioimmunoassay occur in parallel with growth and regression of the testes during a reproductive cycle in adult Soay rams induced by exposure to an artificial lighting regimen of alternating 16 week periods of long days and short days. With the development of new two-site ELISAs for shee...

It is emphasized that resolution of the θ23 ambiguity is important for determination of θ13 if sin 2θ23 < 1, and resolution of the sgn(∆m231) ambiguity is important for determination of the CP phase δ. I discuss the prospects of resolution of the θ23 ambiguity etc. in the future long baseline experiment after the JPARC experiment measures the oscillation probabilities P (νμ → νe) and P (ν̄μ → ν̄e...
