The effects of N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA), a nitric-oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, on the L-type Ca(2+) current (ICa) and NO effects on NOS were determined in rat ventricular myocytes. L-NMMA (10 and 100 microM) had no significant effect on basal ICa, but in a cAMP-stimulated condition due to forskolin (1 microM) or milrinone (10 microM), a cGMP-inhibited cAMP-phosphodiesterase (PDE),...

Since the reconstruction of Joseph Schumpeter’s view of innovation as a driver of capitalist development and the subsequent formation of the national innovation systems (NIS) theory in the early 1990s that can be described as neo-Schumpeterian, there has been a continuous attempt to analyse innovation. However, much of this has positioned innovation as a value-neutral process. We argue that suc...

Convolutional approximate message-passing (CAMP) is an efficient algorithm to solve linear inverse problems. CAMP aims realize advantages of both (AMP) and orthogonal/vector AMP. uses the same low-complexity matched-filter as To asymptotic Gaussianity estimation errors for all right-orthogonally invariant matrices, guaranteed in AMP, Onsager correction AMP replaced with a convolution preceding ...

OBJECTIVES To determine the effects of exercise training on physical condition in 25 college rugby players during a summer training camp, and to compare these variables by the different players' positions. METHODS Changes in body composition parameters and blood biochemistry were examined before and after a summer training camp. RESULTS Body weight and percentage body fat did not change sig...

Organizational theory emphasizes how new organizational forms are produced by technological innovation but has glossed over the role of cultural innovation. This chapter suggests that social movements are important sources of cultural innovation and identifies the scope conditions under which social movements create new organizational forms. By doing so, it lends substance to the notion of inst...

Plant (and in two cases also invertebrate) remains were investigated from 24 contexts associated with two of the Roman >forts= at Cawthorn Camps, on the southern edge of the North York Moors, N. Yorkshire. Ancient plant remains were limited to small to moderate concentrations of charcoal and a very few other structures; all of the uncharred plant material and the few invertebrate remains encoun...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in camp and some other cellular ingredients following adenyl cyclase activation in paragigantocellularis (pgi) neurons of morphine dependent and withdrawn rats. material and methods: the 3.5 mm thick brainstem slice prepared from pgi area (-10.04 to -13.24 from bregma) of control and morphine dependent rats (n=5 in each group). wer...
