31 Anion secretion by colonic epithelium is dependent on apical CFTR-mediated anion 32 conductance and basolateral ion transport. In many tissues, the NKCC1 Na-K-2Cl 33 cotransporter mediates basolateral Cl uptake. However, additional evidence suggests that the 34 AE2 Cl/HCO3 exchanger, when coupled with the NHE1 Na/H exchanger or a Na-HCO3 35 cotransporter (NBC), contributes to HCO3 and/or Cl ...

Robust stability and performance of an induction machine controlled with Indirect Self Control (ISC) are examined through μ-analysis. The analysis indicates poor robust performance at higher rotor speeds. Using reasonable parameter deviations between plant and controller, the predicted bad performance is however hard to verify through simulations. The tested parameter variations seem not to gen...

This paper describes a study performed at the Information System Center (ISC) in NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The ISC was set up in 1998 as a core competence center in information technology. The study aims at characterizing people, processes and products of the new center, to provide a basis for proposing improvement actions and comparing the center before and after these actions have bee...

PURPOSE Carbonic anhydrases play a central buffering role in current models of fluid transport in corneal endothelium, but in humans, clinical use of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs) for the management of glaucoma does not cause corneal swelling. This study compares species differences in response to CAIs in human versus bovine corneal endothelial transport. METHODS Short-circuit current ...

Barakol is a purified extract of Cassia siamea, a plant that has been used as a laxative in traditional medicine. In this study, the effect of barakol on anion transport across the rat colon epithelium was investigated. Colonic epithelium was mounted in Ussing chambers and bathed with Ringer's solution. Addition of 1 mM barakol to the basolateral solution produced a slow increase in short-circu...

Melanoma incidence and mortality rates continue to increase despite the use of sunscreen as well as screening programs for early surgical excision of premalignant lesions. The steady increase in melanoma incidence suggests that additional preventive approaches are needed to augment these existing strategies. One unexplored area involves targeting genes whose deregulation promotes disease develo...

This study describes intelligent transport image sensor communication (ITS-ISC) systems that use LED arrays as transmitters imitate traffic lights. Three signal-transmission schemes -luminance modulation, spatial and combined luminance modulation- array. However, their suitability for ITS-ISC has not been explored yet. Therefore, we compare the performance of these three under strong saturation...

Image sensor communication (ISC), also known as optical camera communication, is a form of visible light that utilizes image sensors rather than single photodiode, for data reception. ISC offers spatial separation properties and robustness to ambient noise, making it suitable outdoor applications such intelligent transportation systems (ITSs). This review analyzes the research trends in ISC, sp...
