Modulus of rigidity (GLT) of veneer laminates was shown to be unrelated to dynamic modulus of elasticity (Eo) of single veneers and also, within the range of samples tested. unrelated to specific gravity. Values determined by the flexure test (GLR) were consistent with those from standard plate shear tests (G£T)' THE OBJECTIVE of the study reported here was to determine whether modulus of rigid...

Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs), namely chylomicrons (CMs), VLDL, and their remnants, are implicated in the atherogenic features of postprandial lipemia. In human plasma, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates the heteroexchange of neutral lipids, ie, triglycerides (TG) and cholesteryl esters (CE), between distinct subpopulations of apoB- and of apoAI-containing lipoproteins. ...

This article is available online at http://www.jlr.org Atherosclerosis and CVD are driven by endothelial dysfunction, a condition associated with low-grade systemic inflammation and characterized by inappropriate inflammatory activation of vascular endothelial cells (ECs). This disruption of endothelial homeostasis is coupled with impaired anti-inflammatory and antioxidant defense capacity, res...

Computer vision systems being developed at Virginia Tech University with the support and cooperation from the U.S. Forest Service are presented. Researchers at Michigan State University, West Virginia University, and Mississippi State University are also members of the research team working on various parts of this research. Our goals are to help U.S. hardwood producers automate, reduce costs, ...

Cognitive radio (CR) was coined to address evolving user needs two decades ago. Since then, it also has been considered a way mitigate perceived spectrum scarcity in various application areas. In this article, the status of military CR research is assessed through systematic literature review 193 articles, from 2013 2020, using IEEE thematic topics, technology readiness levels, as well comprehe...

The purpose of this study is to help bio-tech firms solve the foreign investment (FI) entry mode selection problem. This study combines the concepts of factor analysis, analytic hierarchy process (AHP), genetic algorithm (GA), and fuzzy integral to construct an entry mode selection approach. This study produces several interesting findings. (1) In the different investment entry modes, there are...

Alan Turnbull March 2009 General Atomics Inc. and The ARIES Group The present White Paper is the second of three concerning the issue of plasma control, which is taken here to include control of the power flow in addition to the main plasma parameters and profiles. The first paper, “Control of the Plasma and the Power Flow in a Reactor”, identifies the individual issues that need to be addresse...

We have recently described a novel recycling pathway of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL)-associated apolipoprotein (apo) E in human hepatoma cells. We now demonstrate that not only TRL-derived apoE but also lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is efficiently recycled in vitro and in vivo. Similar recycling kinetics of apoE and LPL in normal and low density lipoprotein receptor-negative human fibroblasts...

This first paper identifies the individual issues that need to be addressed and does so in a systematic and comprehensive way. The s...
