A variety of outward currents exists in ventricular myocardium of different species influencing action potential duration and electrical activity. Transient outward currents have been reported in ventricular tissue of some animals but are small or absent in others. This study was conducted to investigate whether a transient outward current exists in human ventricular myocardium and to character...

This paper looks at the impact of high technology employment concentrations on urban sprawl. A methodology for translating spatial employment patterns, into place of residence patterns, is presented. On this basis, the consumption of land at the urban fringe due to both residential and nonresidential uses, is estimated. The method is tested empirically using data relating to the two main outer ...
