In an earlier study, we proposed that thyroid hormone stimulation of energy utilization by the Na(+) pump mediates the calorigenic response. In this study, the effects of triiodothyronine (T(3)) on total oxygen consumption (Q(OO2)), the ouabain-sensitive oxygen consumption [Q(OO2)(t)], and NaK-ATPase in liver, kidney, and cerebrum were measured. In liver, approximately 90% of the increase in Q(...

One of the most important problems in reliable multicast communication is reducing generated redundant NAKs to avoid NAK implosion. A number of NAK suppression mechanisms which try to resolve this technical problem have been proposed thus far. In wireless multicast which includes mobile hosts with wireless access channel, packet losses occur because of not only low quality of wireless communica...

In the dating of sediments by luminescence methods, to obtain a sample the purest possible as to its mineralogy determines the rest of the analytical procedures. The isolation of the sample minerals is a critical stage due to the impossibility of quantifying the relative contributions to the dose from the different minerals. In this paper we propose a non chemical method to isolate quartz from ...

Today's extensive use of multicast communication demands efficiency, scalability, and reliability. Numerous schemes have been proposed to improve these critical areas and some progress has been realized. Among the most recent and effective schemes that address this issue include the tree-based NAK suppression scheme that emphasizes on reducing NAK implosion at the repair node. The procedure emp...

PURPOSE To investigate the mechanisms involved in the damage caused by UV-A irradiation at 365 nm on the eye lens. METHODS Bovine lenses obtained from animals 1 to 5 years of age were placed in specially designed organ culture chambers for preincubation. Twenty-four hours later, the lenses were irradiated by 33 J/cm2 UV-A at 365 nm. During irradiation, the lenses were oriented in the culture ...

In reliable multicast communications, lost information due to packet loss should be re-multicasted. NAK-based retransmission scheme is said to be effective for scalable reliable multicast communications because it can avoid implosion of control packet. When the source sends packets faster than receiver’s capacity, packet loss due to buffer overflow occurs constantly at corresponding receivers. ...

The eclogite facies assemblage K-feldspar–jadeite–quartz in metagranites and metapelites from the SesiaLanzo Zone (Western Alps, Italy) records the equilibration pressure by dilution of the reaction jadeite+quartz=albite. The metapelites show partial transformation from a pre-Alpine assemblage of garnet (Alm63Prp26Grs10)–K-feldspar–plagioclase–biotite±sillimanite to the Eo-Alpine high-pressure ...

Nef proteins from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) have been found to associate with an active cellular serine/threonine kinase designated Nef-associated kinase (Nak). The exact identity of Nak remains controversial, with two recent studies indicating that Nak may be either Pak1 or Pak2. In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that such d...

Physiol. 218(2) : 607-611. 1970.-The specific activity of sodiumpotassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase is high in the gills of sa1twater teleosts, and low in the gills of elasmobranchs and freshwater teleosts. The activity of NaK-ATPase in gill filaments and ...

CD36 (also known as GPIV) deficiency is known to be responsible for the production of anti-Nak(a) antibodies in different clinical settings such as fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT), platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) and post-transfusion purpura (PTP). However, no data regarding the relevance of CD36 immunisation is currently available for China. In this study, healthy ...
