15N tracer techniques were used to measure rates of NH and NO uptake, dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) 1 2 4 3 release resulting from both ammonium (NH ) and nitrate (NO ) uptake, and NH regeneration at discrete depths 1 2 1 4 3 4 throughout the euphotic zone in Monterey Bay, California, at a site, H3, outside the plume of direct upwelling influence. In March 1993, 94% of the inorganic nitrogen...

Automatic image segmentation and semantic labeling is one of the most important and challenging problems in computer vision. Labeling could be done at various quantization levels – pixel level, super-pixel level, or group of superpixel (segment) level. Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages. In this paper, we explore the superpixel level semantic labeling of images using supervised ...

The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) agonist, U-46619, on systemic circulatory parameters in the pigs before and after administration of a novel TXA2 receptor antagonist and synthase inhibitor (BM-573). Twelve anesthetized pigs were randomly assigned in two groups: in Ago group (n=6), the animals received six consecutive injections of U-46619 at 30 min inter...

0146 In our recent Letter there appeared several errors in printing. On p. 573, the title should read as follows: ‘‘Diffraction tomography for biomedical imaging with diffuse-photon density waves.’’ Notice that it is biomedical not biochemical. On p. 573, line 6 in the second paragraph in the left-hand-side column, ‘‘In this Letter present a . . .’’ should read as ‘‘In this Letter we present a ...

Abstract Background MicroRNA (miRNA) plays a vital role in the intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. The expression level of miR-573 was downregulated whereas Bax upregulated notably human degenerative nucleus pulposus cells. In this study, we aimed to investigate (NP) cells following hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment. Methods NP were separated from degenerated IVD tissues. control maintained...

We report the discovery of the scattered emission from a hidden broad-line region (BLR) in a Seyfert 2 galaxy, Mrk 573, based on our recent spectropolarimetric observation performed at the Subaru Telescope. This object has been regarded as a type 2 AGN without a hidden BLR by the previous observations. However, our high quality spectrum of the polarized flux of Mrk 573 shows prominent broad (∼3...
