The purpose of this note is to posit and discuss the concept of "competitive inhibition potential" (CIP), which is an in vivo index of the ability of a competitive inhibitor to elevate plasma concentrations of drug substrates, when the competitive inhibitor is administered at its usual and customary dose.

Two major projects in the U.S. and Europe have joined in a collaboration to work toward achieving interoperability among language resources. In the U.S., a project entitled ”Sustainable Interoperability for Language Technology” (SILT) has been funded by the National Science Foundation under the INTEROP program, and in Europe, FLaReNet Fostering Language Resources Network has been funded by the ...

Abstract Sedimentary soils are formed from deposits resulting weathering of rocks through natural processes. One way to increase the bearing capacity sedimentary soil is by stabilizing it. The purpose this study was determine effect variations in mixture Bacillus Subtilis bacteria on characteristics and curing period shear strength sediment stabilized subtilis bacteria. Based results physical p...

Quantitative scaling into percent signal change is helpful to detect and eliminate “bad” results with abnormal extreme values. While cognitive effects give signal changes on the order of 1% (and larger in the visual and auditory cortices), signal variations of over 10% may arise from motion and other artifacts in the data. Thus, a quantitative check on measured effect size can be used to screen...

The direct fluorescent-antibody technique was employed to determine the distribution patterns of four species of methanogens in the sediments of Lake Erie and Cleveland Harbor. Methanobacterium ruminantium was the most numerous methanogen found in regions of high-organic-silt sediments. The population of this species ranged from 10 to 10 cells/g of dry sediment. Methanobacterium strain MoH and ...
