Maintenance reduces the occurrence of failures of a component (or IT product) and also extends its useful life. This way the time to dispose of such a component may be delayed and this reduces the rate at which greenhouse gases enter into the food chain and the atmosphere. It will be helpful to produce set of maintenance intervals for such component at which its extended useful life and cost ar...

Since Bleam's (2000) initial claim that capturing clitic climbing patterns in Romance requires the descriptive power of set-local MCTAG (Weir, 1988), alternative approaches to relaxing tree-locality restrictions have been developed, including delayed tree-local MCTAG (Chiang and Scheffler, 2008), which, unlike set-local MCTAG, is weakly equivalent to standard TAG. This paper compares 2-delayed ...

Thimerosal, a thiol-reactive reagent, has been shown to increase the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in a variety of cells by sensitizing inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptors. Thimerosal can have both sensitizing (at concentrations of <2 microM) and inhibitory (at concentrations of >2 microM) effects on InsP3-induced Ca2+ release (IICR) from cerebellar microsomes. Transient kinetic studi...

BACKGROUND Bankart lesions and Hill-Sachs lesions are commonly associated with anterior shoulder dislocations. The presence of Bankart lesion indicates the need for surgical repair. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been shown to be sensitive in detecting these two lesions. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between Bankart lesions and Hill-Sachs lesions on MRI for patie...

Controlled trials have shown that the rate of healing of gastric ulcers is increased by treatment with carbenoxolone sodium, but that fluid retention is produced as a side effect sufficiently often to limit the freedom with which the drug can be prescribed (Doll, Hill, Hutton, and Underwood, 1962; Doll, Hill, and Hutton, 1965; Horwich and Galloway, 1965). We have, therefore, sought a method of ...

Dependence of Hill reaction (ferricyanide reduction) by isolated (broken) chloroplasts on bicarbonate ion increases with time of illumination (upto 4 min) in HCC>3~ free reaction mixture. The stimulation caused by HCOs" is independent of light intensity down to very low intensities indicating an involvement of this ion in early photochemical events of photosystem II. Oxygen evolution was found ...
