Two sets of grids of Kurucz ATLAS 9 model spectra are presented. The first one covers the GAIA spectral interval, while the second one which is still being computed covers the whole range from 2500 – 10500 Å. Both grids include parameters needed for realistic spectral simulation, e.g. stellar rotation and are computed at R = 20000 and lower spectral resolutions. They can be useful for preparati...

Sympathetic nerve activity increases in the heart during cardiac failure. Here, we hypothesized that 1 integrins play a protective role in chronic -adrenergic receptor–stimulated cardiac myocyte apoptosis and heart failure. L-isoproterenol (iso; 400 g/kg per hour) was infused in a group of wild-type (WT) and 1 integrin heterozygous knockout (hKO) mice. Left ventricular structural and functional...

Unternehmen setzen zunehmend mehrere Best-PracticeReferenzmodelle (BPRM) der IT-Governance ein. Ein unsystematischer Einsatz von mehreren BPRM kann erhebliche Ineffizienzen bergen, daher ist ein systematischer kombinierter Einsatz erstrebenswert. Um den kombinierten Einsatz mehrerer Modelle gezielt zu unterstützen, sind genaue Kenntnisse der Kombinationsmöglichkeiten von BPRM in einer Multi-Mod...

By means of EPR spectroscopy the behaviour of the vanadocene dichloride (I), Cp(2)VCl(2) (Cp=eta(5)-C(5)H(5)), in various deoxygenated and non-deoxygenated physiological media and therapeutic solution as well as in blood plasma and stabilized human blood was studied. On the basis of measured values of isotropic spectroscopic splitting factor g(iso) and isotropic hyperfine coupling constant A(is...

2',3'-iso-Benzoabscisic acid (iso-PhABA), an excellent selective abscisic acid (ABA) analog, was developed in our previous work. In order to find its more structure-activity information, some structural modifications were completed in this paper, including the substitution of phenyl ring and replacing the ring with heterocycles. Thus, 16 novel analogs of iso-PhABA were synthesized and screened ...

Problem statement: The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published a set of international standards related to the software engineering, such as ISO 12207 and ISO 9126. However, there is a set of cross-references between these two standards. Approach: The ISO 9126 on software product quality and ISO 12207 on software life cycle processes had been analysed to investigate the r...

Background: Hospital standards are one of the valuest concepture items in an organization and hospital management. The research purpose was determination of luchs of hospital evaluation current way throght the comparission with ISO quality management standards and suggestion of a model to hospital standard development based on aquired findings. Materials & Methods: This research is a descripti...

BACKGROUND Urinary 8-iso-PGF2α, a marker of oxidative stress, is influenced by the activation of NOX2. It is unclear if platelets 8-iso-PGF2α contribute to urinary 8-iso-PGF2α. METHODS AND RESULTS In a cross-sectional study, platelet, urinary, and serum 8-iso-PGF2α were determined in subjects with downregulation (X-linked chronic granulomatous disease [X-CGD], n=25) and upregulation (type II ...
