Conn (1942) observed that Alcaligenes faecalis required organic nitrogen, but as observed by Porter (1946) no report was found of a study of nitrogen compounds suitable for continued growth of A. faecalis. It was reported, however, that this organism grew in a medium containing NH4 lactate as a source of nitrogen and carbon (Braun and Cahn-Bronner, 1921), and used NH4NO3, asparagine, cysteine, ...

THE metabolic action of cardiac glycosides on the intact mammalian heart has not been clearly demonstrated. For example, Wollenberger in his review' cites several instances where increased, decreased or unchanged glycogen levels have been noted following glycoside administration. In hearts given sufficient amounts of glycoside to cause arrhythmias, Wollenberger was unable to detect any change i...

We propose a quasi Newton algorithm for solving large optimization problems with nonlinear equality constraints It is designed for problems with few degrees of freedom and is motivated by the need to use sparse matrix factorizations The algorithm incorporates a correction vector that approximates the cross term ZWY pY in order to estimate the curvature in both the range and null spaces of the c...

L’hyperaldostéronisme primaire (HAP), ou syndrome de Conn, est retrouvé chez 5–10 % des patients hypertendus. Alors que sa prise en charge précoce permet traiter les façon efficace, l’HAP reste encore largement sous-diagnostiqué dans la population générale. Des découvertes majeures ont été réalisées ces dix dernières années, permettant d’identifier mutations génétiques quasi-totalité adénomes C...

We present a structured algorithm for solving constrained nonlinear least squares problems, and establish its local two-step Q-superlinear convergence. The approach is based on an adaptive structured scheme due to Mahdavi-Amiri and Bartels of the exact penalty method of Coleman and Conn for nonlinearly constrained optimization problems. The structured adaptation also makes use of the ideas of N...

I. Bovine diabetogenic peptide, growth hormone, and prolactin were compared with respect to their effects on tissue glycogen, liver fat, and liver water in fasting rats. 2. Bovine diabetogenic peptide increases liver size, liver glycogen, liver water, and total liver lipids. 3. Bovine diabetogenic peptide, in contrast to growth hormone and prolactin, does not increase muscle glycogen levels. IN...

6 h-incubation assay correlated strongly (r 0.98) with corresponding 3-h incubation results. The DR assay can measure low concentrations of renin in samples with PRA 0.65 ng mL 1 h 1 with a good correlation and low CV. This suggests that the DR method is an adequate method for measuring samples with low renin concentrations and is possibly a suitable alternative for measuring renin in black ind...
