Using recently developed adjoint methods for computing the shape derivatives of functions that depend on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibria (Antonsen et al. , J. Plasma Phys. vol. 85, issue 2, 2019; Paul 86, 1, 2020), we present first example analytic gradient-based optimization fixed-boundary stellarator equilibria. We take advantage gradient information to optimize figures merit relevance d...

radionuclidic techniques may provide assessment of glomerular filtration rate (gfr) effective renal plasma flow (erpf) or individual renal function. several agents were available for determination of these parameters such as ¹³¹i-oih (o-iodohippurate) and different derivatives of dads (diamidodisulfur). oih has the disadvantage of imparting a relatively high absorbed radiation dose to the patie...

It was previously shown that the particulate fraction of liver was the site of incorporation of glucosamine-l-14C into rat plasma glycoproteins (1). In continuing these studies, we wished to determine whether this incorporation was dependent on the synthesis of protein de nova. Since puromycin inhibits protein biosynthesis (2-5), we have studied the effect of this drug on the incorporation of g...

This study examined the effects of a combination soybean fiber and α-glycosyl-isoquercitrin (AGIQ) on improving quercetin bioavailability glucose metabolism in rats fed an obesogenic diet. For 9 weeks, were individually control diet, high-fat high-sucrose (H) H with (HS), or AGIQ (HQ), both (HSQ). Quercetin derivatives plasma, feces, urine, cecal content quantified by high-performance liquid ch...
