We established a new congenic model of hypertension, the mRen(2). Lewis rat and assessed the intracellular expression of angiotensin peptides and receptors in the kidney. The congenic strain was established from the backcross of the (mRen2)27 transgenic rat that expresses the mouse renin 2 gene onto the Lewis strain. The 20-wk-old male congenic rats were markedly hypertensive compared with the ...

Bei Betrachtung der geometrischen und elektronischen Struktur des Tris(pentafluorethyl)silanids erscheint das Anion auf den ersten Blick als Lewis-Base. Quantenmechanischen Rechnungen zufolge liegen die HOMO- LUMO-Energien von Perfluoralkylsilaniden deutlich niedriger nicht fluorierter Derivate. Dies hat eine geringere Lewis-Basizität zugleich erhöhte Lewis-Acidität [Si(C2F5)3]−-Ions zur Folge....

Sialyl 6-sulfo Lewis X determinant has been described recently as a major ligand for L-selectin on high endothelial venules of human peripheral lymph nodes. From our investigation of its distribution in human colorectal cancer tissues and cultured colon cancer cells, the sialyl 6-sulfo Lewis X determinant was preferentially expressed in the nonmalignant colonic epithelia rather than cancer cell...

What sorts of properties should we use in building our conception of the way the world is? David Lewis offers one answer to this question; Robert Stalnaker offers another. Lewis suggests a reductionist picture, according to which we should strive to build our conception of the way the world is on the basis of fundamental (or ‘perfectly natural’) properties. Fundamental properties, according to ...

The larva of the Protaetia (Liocola) insperata (Lewis, 1879) is described and illustrated for first time. P. similar to larvae famelica brevitarsis, but differs from both by a number spinules in symmetrical rows on anal sternite, chaetotaxy head capsula epipharengial surface. A key genus Russian Far East given.

in present paper, a numerical analysis for a rectangular cavity filled with a anisotropic porous media has been studied. it is assumed that the horizontal walls are adiabatic and impermeable, while the side walls of the cavity are maintained at constant temperatures and concentrations. the buoyancy force that induced the fluid motion are assumed to be cooperative. in the two extreme cases of he...

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) is used to study chemically reacting, laminar vortex rings. A novel, all–Mach number algorithm developed by Doom, Hou, & Mahesh [1] is used. The chemical mechanism is a nine species, nineteen reaction mechanism for H2/air combustion proposed by Mueller et al. [2]. Diluted H2 at ambient temperature (300 K) is injected into hot air. The simulations study the effe...
