Humans with spinal cord injury have impaired cardiovascular function proportional to the level and completeness of the lesion. The effect on cerebrovascular function is unclear, especially for high-level lesions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the integrity of dynamic cerebral autoregulation (CA) and the cerebrovascular reactivity in chronic tetraplegia (Tetra). After baseline, stead...

MFP1 is a conserved plant coiled-coil protein located on the stroma side of the chloroplast thylakoids, as well as in the nuclear matrix. It displays species-specific variability in the number of genes, proteins, and expression. Allium cepa has two nuclear proteins antigenically related to MFP1 with different M(r), pI, distribution, and expression, but only the 90 kDa MFP1 protein is a nuclear ...

The spin reversal of nanostructured Co/Pd multilayers by varying the number of repeats has been investigated quantitatively. The magnetization viscosity measurement and the direct observation of the time-dependent spin reversal patterns showed that their reversal behavior gradually changed from wall-motion dominant to nucleation dominant by increasing the number of repeats. Both the wall-motion...

In this paper, we present a structural and statistical approach for texture classification. It can achieve with a higher accuracy rate comparing to the Spatial Gray Level Dependence (SGLD) method and Laws' method. Our method uses the previously proposed operator, the Surface-Shape operator (SS-operator), for describing topographic structure of texture images. The SS-operator describes shape of ...

PURPOSE Studies in our laboratory are concerned with developing optional insulin delivery routes based on amidated pectin hydrogel matrix gel. We therefore investigated whether the application of pectin insulin (PI)-containing dermal patches of different insulin concentrations sustain controlled release of insulin into the bloodstream of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats with concomita...

Violations of the ∆I=1/2 rule are investigated in the nonmesonic weak hypernuclear decay using a weak ΛN→NN transition potential based on meson exchange. While the weak ∆I=3/2 couplings of baryons to pseudoscalar mesons are known to be very small, the analogous couplings of baryons to vector mesons are not known experimentally. These couplings have been evaluated using the factorization approxi...

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is provided with excellent self-lubricating properties and corrosion resistance. However, the lower thermal resistance greatly limits its high-temperature applications. In present work, two types of fillers rigid organic polymers submicron-sized inorganic hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) were added to PTFE matrix. The microstructure thermal–mechanical PTFE-based com...

BACKGROUND Rice is the only food item which is not liberalized in Korea. To prepare for future liberalization of the rice market in Korea, the physicochemical characteristics and consumer perception of four domestic rice samples were compared with those of 11 foreign rice samples. Additionally, the influences of country of origin (CO) and price on purchase intent (PI) and willingness to pay (WT...

for 0 ≤ i, j ∈ N. The matrix P is hence the famous Pascal triangle yielding the binomial coefficients and can be recursively constructed by the rules p0,i = pi,0 = 1 for i ≥ 0 and pi,j = pi−1,j + pi,j−1 for 1 ≤ i, j. In this paper we are interested in (sequences of determinants of finite) matrices related to P . The present section deals with determinants of some minors of the above Pascal tria...
