We have previously characterized the receptor for glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIPR) in vascular endothelial cells (EC). Different EC types were found to contain distinct GIPR splice variants. To determine whether activation of the GIPR splice variants resulted in different cellular responses, we examined GIP effects on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), which cont...

Measurement of the effects of helium (from tritium decay) on the weldability of Types 304 and ITER Grade 316LN stainless steel demonstrated the inherent complexities in designing and conducting an experimental program using tritium-charged-and-aged materials to simulate the effects of irradiation-induced helium on weld behavior. Differences in microstructure, surface condition and alloy chemist...

Antecedentes: La asociación entre alcohol y suicidio está bien documentada. El sólido cuerpo de investigaciones y evidencias empíricas sugiere que el modelo peligroso de consumo de alcohol (binge drinking o beber concentrado de alcohol) conduce a una embriaguez más rápida y profunda, aumentando la propensión al suicidio relacionado con el alcohol. Objetivo: Calcular el efecto a nivel agregado d...

The close X-ray selected BL Lac PKS 2155–304 has been observed using the University of Durham Mark 6 very high energy (VHE) gamma ray telescope during 1996 September/October/November and 1997 October/November. VHE gamma rays with energy > 300 GeV were detected from this object with a time-averaged integral flux of (4.2 ± 0.7 stat ± 2.0 sys) × 10 −11 cm −2 s −1. There is evidence for VHE gamma r...
