927-936. = 959. -The osmolality was determined of fluid collected by micropuncture from proximal and distal convolutions, loops of Henle, collecting ducts and vasa recta of kidneys of various rodents with and without osmotic diuresis. Proximal tubular fluid was isosmotic; in the presence of antidiuretic hormone, early distal fluid was hypo-osmotic due to the prior reabsorption of sodium chlorid...

The experiments reconfirm the powerful inhibitory effect of malonyl-CoA on carnitine acyltransferase I and fatty acid oxidation in rat liver mitochondria (Ki 1.5 microM). Sensitivity decreased with starvation (Ki after 18 h starvation 3.0 microM, and after 42 h 5.0 microM). Observations by Cook, Otto & Cornell [Biochem. J. (1980) 192, 955--958] and Ontko & Johns [Biochem. J. (1980) 192, 959--96...

Existing scales to measure trust in physicians have differing content and limited testing. To improve on these measures, a detailed conceptual model was constructed and a large item pool (n = 78) was generated following a detailed conceptual model and expert review. After pilot testing, the best-performing items were validated with a random national sample (n = 959) and a regional sample of HMO...

Although combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been documented for military combatants, little is known about PTSD in noncombatants. Active-duty U.S. Air Force noncombatants (N = 5,367) completed a Post-Deployment Health Assessment upon return from combat zones in Iraq (n = 4,408) or a noncombat zone in Qatar (n = 959). Those deployed to Iraq were significantly more likely to ...

In [Š. Holub & K. Saari, On highly palindromic words, Discrete Appl. Math. 157 (2009), 953–959] the authors proposed to measure the degree of “palindromicity” of a binary word w by ratio |rws| |w| , where the word rws is minimal-palindromic—that is, does not contain palindromic subwords of length greater than ⌈ |w| 2 ⌉ —and the length |r|+|s| is as small as possible. It was asked whether the wo...

Mlany descriptions of the primary chorio-retinal degenerations have been reported (Sosbry, Franceschetti, Joseph, and Davey, 1952; Waardenburg, I 959; Waardenburg, Franceschetti, and Klein, i96i, I963; Franceschetti, FranSois, and Babel, I963). Earlier diagnostic methods of distinguishing these disorders were limited to genetic investigation, general examination, objective ocular examination, f...

Although we have a rather elaborate "working-cycle" for the 60 kDa molecular chaperones, which possess a cavity, and are called Anfinsen-cage-type chaperones to emphasize that they provide a closed, protected environment to help the folding of their substrates, our understanding of the molecular mechanism of how these chaperones help protein folding is still incomplete. The present study adds t...

Introduction Many methods have been devised in order to obtain a picture of the relatively broad spectrum of microorganisms present in the soil (Waksman, 1932; Lohnis, 1938 ; Beijerinck, 1946 ; Winogradsky, 1949). Techniques for direct microscopic examination, including contact slide methods, were developed by a number of research workers (Rossi, 1921, 1936; Conn, 1928, 1929 ; Cholodny, 1930; K...

Animals use a nervous system for locomotion in some stage of their life cycle. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a major animal model for almost all fields of experimental biology, has long been used for detailed studies of genetic and physiological locomotion mechanisms. Of its 959 somatic cells, 302 are neurons that are identifiable by lineage, location, morphology, and neurochemistry in e...

The National League for Nursing endorses mentoring throughout nursing faculty's careers as the method to recruit nurses into academia and improve retention of nursing faculty within the academy. A nationwide sample of 959 full-time nursing faculty completed a descriptive survey comprising a researcher-created demographic questionnaire plus Dreher's mentoring scale, Gmelch's faculty stress index...
