Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in postheparin plasma of 38 normolipidemic volunteers was related to the magnitude of postprandial lipemia after a fat meal, to triglyceride content of high density lipoprotein2 (HDL2), to hepatic lipase (HL) activity, and to HDL2 levels. LPL activity correlated indirectly with lipemia, triglyceride content of HDL2, HL activity, and levels of HDL2 but not of HD...

Objective(s) During recent years, there has been an increasing interest in contribution of environmental pollutants as heavy metals to human male infertility. Present study was aimed to investigate the effects of maternal lead acetate exposure during lactation on postnatal development of testis in offspring rats. Materials and Methods A total of 60 female rats randomly divided into four equa...

This paper presents two-dimensional (2-D) finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations of low-loss rightangle waveguide bends, T-junctions and crossings, based on high index-contrast waveguides. Such structures are essential for the dense integration of optical components. Excellent performance characteristics are obtained by designing the waveguide intersection regions as low-Q resonant ca...

211 A class of high dens ity assoc iat ive memories is constructed, starting from a description of desired properties those should exhib it. These propert ies include high capac ity, controllable bas ins of attraction and fast speed of convergence. Fortunately enough, the resulting memory is implementable by an artificial Neural Net.

In the color-flavor-locked (CFL) phase of the QCD superconductor we show that baryons behave as qualitons (called “superqualitons”) with quantum numbers B = (1 mod 2)/3, S = 1/2 and Y = B. Bound superqualitons may cause the superconducting gap in the CFL phase to be effectively nonexistent, a novel phenomenon not seen in conventional superconductors.

the accurate mechanism of how EIIC transports a sugar has not been clearly demonstrated yet. To investigate more detailed and accurate transportation mechanisms, we performed collective variable-based steered molecular dynamics (CVSMD) simulations. Our simulation shows the spontaneous transportation of the sugar toward the opposite side of the membrane with the preserved H-bonding interactions,...
