Given any data points xx,...,x„ in R5 and values f(xx),... ,/(x„) of a function /, Shepard's global interpolation formula reads as follows: s°pf(x) = !/(*,>,(*). "*(*) -I* *,|"7D* xj\", ' j where | ■ | denotes the Euclidean norm in R*. This interpolation scheme is stable, but if p > 1, the gradient of the interpolating function vanishes in all data points. The interpolation operator Sjj is defi...

We read with great interest the article, entitled “Heart rate recovery may predict the presence of coronary artery disease” by Akyüz et al. (1) published in Anatolian J Cardiol 2014; 14: 351-6. They observed in a retrospective analysis that abnormal heart rate recovery at 1 min (HRR1) was associated with the presence of angiographically proven coronary artery disease. This study strengthens pre...

Electrical stimulation of a trout saline-perfused trunk preparation resulted in metabolic and respiratory responses comparable to those occurring after exhaustive exercise in vivo. Recovery of intracellular acid-base status and glycogen resynthesis were faster than in vivo. Intracellular carbonic anhydrase (ICF CA) blockade elevated intracellular[Formula: see text] relative to untreated postexe...

Active Na+ transport by the alveolar epithelium keeps alveoli relatively dry. Hyperoxia increases epithelial permeability, resulting in pulmonary edema. We sought to determine whether active Na+ resorption from the air spaces and Na-K-ATPase activity increased in rats exposed to >95% O2 for 60 h. The permeability × surface area products for unidirectional resorption of alveolar [14C]sucrose ( P...

The objective of this research is to determine whether the administration of a complete soft food formula to sub-lethal irradiated animals from three different transgenic mouse strains over a period of 21 consecutive days will have a significant impact on the clinical signs, and the general survival rate of the animals. Our hypothesis is that using DietGel76A™, along with an antibiotic treatmen...
