We study the Jellium model of Wigner at finite, non-zero, temperature through a computer simulation using canonical path integral worm algorithm where we successfully implemented fixed-nodes free particles restriction necessary to circumvent fermion sign problem. Our results show good agreement with recent data Brown et al. and other similar experiments on high density low temperature. can be u...

Using muscle functional MRI (mfMRI), this study was able to differentiate the acute physiological responses following three established hypertrophic resistance exercise strategies. Low-load protocols performed failure, with or without blood flow restriction, resulted in larger changes R 2 (i.e. greater T -shifts) a slow rate of return baseline indicative myocellular fluid shifts. These data wer...

We present an efficient, implicit-explicit numerical method for wave propagation in solids containing fluid-filled cracks, motivated by applications in geophysical imaging of fractured oil/gas reservoirs and aquifers, volcanology, and mechanical engineering. We couple the elastic wave equation in the solid to an approximation of the linearized, compressible Navier–Stokes equations in curved and...

OBJECTIVES ADAM12-s is a placental protein. In early pregnancy, reduced maternal levels of ADAM12-s have been reported in association with foetal trisomy 21 or 18 and in cases that subsequently develop pre-eclampsia and foetal growth restriction. The aim of this study is to investigate the distribution of ADAM12-s in early pregnancy by comparing its concentration in maternal serum, amniotic flu...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Prenatal exposure to asymptomatic doses of domoic acid (DA) causes learning and memory deficits later in life; therefore, we sought to measure distribution of DA in maternal plasma and brain, prenatal brain, and amniotic fluid 1 hr after exposure, a time frame that normally encompasses acute seizure behavior. METHODS Pregnant rats were given a single intravenous dose...

The aim of this study was to identify the strengths and weaknesses of five DNA fingerprint methods for epidemiological typing of Streptococcus pneumoniae. We investigated the usefulness of (i) ribotyping, (ii) BOX fingerprinting with the BOX repetitive sequence of S. pneumoniae as a DNA probe, (iii) PCR fingerprinting with a primer homologous to the enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consens...

Generalized malnutrition results in inhibition of tumorigenesis and tumor growth in experimental animal models. Neither the specific nutrient deficiency nor the mechanism has been definitely elucidated. We have shown previously that dietary sodium deprivation in rapidly growing rats retards protoplasmic growth. This effect was correlated to the extracellular fluid (ECF) volume expansion which i...

Agarose electrophoresis of cerebrospinal fluid from two patients with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis revealed in both cases several homogeneous bands in the intermediate and basic gammaglobulin region. The bands were identified as IgG with various degrees of kappa or lambda light-chain restriction in crossed immunoelectrophoresis. Homogeneous IgG bands were separated by preparative agarose...
