Plasma amino acids were analysed in patients with migraine with (9) and without (80) aura, in patients with tension headache (14) and in controls (62). The neuroexcitatory amino acids glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, cysteic acid and homocysteic acid were elevated in migraine patients while total thiols (cysteine/cystine) were reduced. Patients with tension headache had values which were simi...

The effect of surface tension on the Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability and Richtmyer – Meshkov (RM) instability induced development of nonlinear structures like spike and bubble at two fluid interface have been investigated .In case of RT instability, the surface tension reduces the velocity of the tip of both the bubble and the spike by the factor (1-k /3 kc ) where, kc =(h-l)g/T .For k > 3 k...

BAHLER, ALAN S. Series elastic component of mammalian skeletal muscle. Am. J. Physiol. 213(6): 1560-1564. 1967.-A method of modifying the Wilkie quick-release technique of determining the compliance of the series elastic component of mammalian muscle is described. This modification eliminates the effect of muscle and lever system mass by adding an additional factor related to the shortening of ...

In a 3 X 2 X 2 factorial design with repeated measures on the last factor, a suicide attempt, suicide ideation, and nonsuicidal control group of Veterans Administration neuropsychiatric patients, equally divided into psychotic and neurotic subgroups, containing IS Ss each, viewed 2 classes of slides—unpleasant slides and death slides. Measures of viewing time, rated tension, and rated liking we...

The surface tension of heavy n-alkanes is a poorly studied subject. Few data exist and the predictive methods used for their estimation are rather complex or show considerable errors for the higher members of the series. In this work, the corresponding states theory is used to predict the surface tension of the series of the n-alkanes. Two approaches have been followed: the first is a second-or...

inTRoDuCTion: Oxygen is a potent modulator of cell function and wound repair in vivo. Hypoxia can enhance the production of specific extracellular matrix components and increase angiogenesis through the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 pathway. However, in vivo, very few cells within the body experience ambient (21%) oxygen tension. Thus, for clinically relevant tissue-engineered pre-vascularized ski...

Using a novel noncontact technique based on optical interferometry, we quantify the nanoscale thermal fluctuations of red blood cells (RBCs) and giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). The measurements reveal a nonvanishing tension coefficient for RBCs, which increases as cells transition from a discocytic shape to a spherical shape. The tension coefficient measured for GUVs is, however, a factor of...

We consider a modification of gravity at large distances in a Brane Universe which was discussed recently [1–4]. In these models the modification of gravity at large distances is ultimately connected to existence of negative tension brane(s) and exponentially small tunneling factor. We discuss a general model which interpolates between Bi-gravity +−+ model [1] and GRS model [2]. We also discuss...
