Growth of FRM cells was inhibited by the addition of pyridoxine in a dose-dependent manner. Use of 5 mM pyridoxine caused an almost complete arrest of cell growth. Pyridoxal was as effective as pyridoxine, but pyridoxamine showed weak inhibitory action. Electron-microscopic examination of control cells revealed large nuclei and cellular membranes with villi, but, in pyridoxine-treated cells, co...

Software defined radio (SDR) is emerging as a powerful platform for future generation cellular systems, due to its capability to operate conforming to multiple mobile radio standards. Channelizer in an SDR operates at the highest sampling rate and hence a low complexity design is needed for the most computationally intensive part of the SDR receiver. The channel filters in the channelizer extra...

A new reconfigurable filter bank architecture based on frequency response masking (FRM) was recently proposed for software defined radio (SDR) channelization. However, in previous works all the subfilters were designed separately, which makes the solutions suboptimal. In this paper, we propose an improved design method, which takes all desired reconfiguration modes into consideration. The propo...

The paper starts by giving concise introductions into the terminological logic FRM and the object data model COCOON. It then brieey outlines a semantic-preserving mapping from FRM class descriptions to COCOON types and classes and shows how the terminological inference of classiica-tion is mapped to a set of equivalent COCOON queries. Since these queries can (mostly) be submitted as a whole to ...

We propose in this paper a processor architecture that supports multi instructions set through run time functional assignment algorithm (RUNFA). The above processor, which is named Functional Assignment Register Microprocessor (FaRM-rq) supports queue and register based instruction set architecture and functions into different modes: (1) R-mode (FRM) when switched for register based instruction...

Fluids available for intravenous volume replacement may be either crystalloid or colloid. The fundamental differences between these fluids are their effects on the Starling equation (table 1) which describes fluid flux between the intravascular and interstitial spaces. Starling stated that the rate of fluid movement into or out of a capillary is related to the net hydrostatic pressure minus the...

At the moment, adequate fluid resuscitation, pain control and organ support represent the cornerstones of treatment for acute pancreatitis, especially for the severe forms of the disease [1]. Regarding fluid resuscitation in severe acute pancreatitis, the following questions should be answered: 1.What is the adequate volume of fluid to be administered and when should it be administered? 2. What...

This study examined fluid intake, weight changes, and palatability of water and a carbohydrate-electrolyte (ECHO) beverage in two groups of eight subjects performing 4 hours of simulated industrial work while wearing impermeable protective clothing. Subjects also rated the palatability of a flavorless orange-colored water and four commercially available orange-flavored fluid-replacement drinks....

Treatment for ileus includes decompression of the stomach, replacement of fluid and electrolyte losses with parenteral fluids, and use of a variety of prokinetic agents. However, there is disagreement as to the effects of indwelling stomach tubes on reflux, the rate of fluid replacement, and the most effective prokinetic agents to use. Therefore, this review is intended to provide a rational, s...
