Vitellogenin (1, 2) is a sex-limited phosphoprotein secreted by the liver in Xenopus females (3, 4) and selectively transferred via the circulatory system to growing oocytes, within which it is converted into the yolk proteins lipovitellin and phosvitin (3, 5, 6) . Selective uptake (7) and conversion (8) of vitellogenin can also take place in isolated oocytes . The available evidence indicates ...

Norethisterone ethanate (200 mg every 84 days) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (150 mg every three months) were found to be completely effective in fertility control when started in the puerperium. Neither agent had any ill effect on the amount of milk or the duration of lactation. From the third month onward the three-hourly available milk and the infant weight gain per month were statisticall...

Electron plasma columns continuously injected into a Malmberg-Penning trap display a rich evolution. Electrons emitted from an illuminated photocathode are trapped in the electrostatic well formed by the negatively biased photocathode and the trap end cylinder. Initially, the injections form cylinders of uniform density. As the density increases, the columns hollow in an attempt to match the po...

We report comb operation of RF injected ring Quantum Cascade Lasers. A coupled waveguide approach is implemented for dispersion compensation while passive bullseye antenna improves the device power extraction and far field. Phase sensitive measurements are presented which hints at presence soliton state.

Results of injected impurity transport studies on the Alcator A tokamak are presented. We find that injected silicon diffuses throughout. the plasma and is then observed, contrary to the predictions of neoclassical theory, to leave the discharge, having confinement times much shorter than the discharge length. There is no observed build-up of silicon on the axis of the device. The impurity conf...

This paper discusses a single-phase three-level current source inverter (CSI) driven by a single gate-drive power supply in both chopper and inverter, and its feasibility on grid connected photovoltaic system application. Using this new topology, the complexity of the chopper and inverter circuitry is dramatically reduced by using single gate-drive power supply for all power switches. The circu...

In this paper an attempt has beenmade to investigate the transient stability enhancement of both SMIB and Multi-machine system using UPFC controller tuned by Particle Swarm Optimization. Power injection modelfor a series voltage source of UPFC has been implemented to replace UPFC by equivalent admittance. The admittance matrix of the power system is then modified according to the power injectio...

according to the global fuel crisis, it seems necessary to use alternative fuel instead of gasoline. since the natural gas is cheaper, have higher frequency than gasoline and less pollution, it is a suitable fuel. many efforts have been done in order to replace gasoline with natural gas. one of the methods is to inject natural gas and gasoline fuel simultaneously and to use the benefits of both...
