MARCH 2000 73 The first step in the design process was to find a frequency where radio signals could easily penetrate body tissue and communicate with external equipment, yet have a wavelength small enough to permit the use of a miniature, unobtrusive antenna, which is in itself small enough to fit on an existing pacemaker. For example, an antenna that is built to operate at an ultra high frequ...

Ruminants prefer hay cut in the afternoon to hay cut in themorning, presumably because hay cut in the afternoon contains higher concentrations of non-structural carbohydrates than hay cut in the morning. We determined if adding sugars (glucose and sucrose) to ground hay would account for differences in preference and affect intake of hay. Alfalfa hay cut either in the afternoon (PM) or the foll...

Wild-type and mutant chicken integrin beta 1 subunit (beta 1c) cDNAs were expressed in NIH 3T3 cells and assayed for localization in focal adhesions of cells plated on fibronectin substrates. Focal adhesion localization in stable transfected cells was assayed by indirect immunofluorescent staining with chicken-specific anti-beta 1c antibodies. Mutant beta 1c integrins containing internal deleti...

OBJECTIVE Type 1 diabetes results from selective T-cell-mediated destruction of the insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreas. In this process, islet epitope-specific CD8(+) T-cells play a pivotal role. Thus, monitoring of multiple islet-specific CD8(+) T-cells may prove to be valuable for measuring disease activity, progression, and intervention. Yet, conventional detection techniques (ELIS...

Education in software assurance is an essential element in the effort to produce secure code. This paper describes two efforts that support national cybersecurity education goals: development of software assurance learning artifacts that can be integrated into conventional learning environments and development of a master of software assurance reference curriculum. SOFTWARE DEFENSE APPLICATION ...

Abstract Study question How to find endometrial epithelial stem cell (eeSC) in the human gland? Summary answer Endometrial organoid culture model combined with omics techniques can be a promising platform for investigating eeSC functions and gland development. What is known already stem/progenitor cells are thought involved regeneration, stromal having been extensively studied. On other hand, s...
