Hysteresis in a Three-Equation Model by Thomas R. Michl JEL E11, E12, O42

The functional expression of A-type K+ channels (IA) was examined in chick lumbar motoneurons (LMNs) at embryonic days 6 and 11 (E6 and E11). We observed a threefold increase in IA density between E6 and E11 in spinal cord slices and acutely dissociated LMNs. There was no change in current density, kinetics, or voltage dependence of IA in E11 homozygous limbless mutants or in E11 embryos in whi...

The yellow tortrix, Acleris fimbriana Merick (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), is an economically important insect pest on fruit trees with four generations a year in North China. In order to develop a new and effective method for forecasting and controlling the pest, the sex pheromone was studied. We have identified the female sex pheromone as (E)-11,13-tetradecadienal (E11,13-14:Ald), (E)-11,13-tet...

BACKGROUND Vascular calcification is an indicator of elevated cardiovascular risk. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), the predominant cell type involved in medial vascular calcification, can undergo phenotypic transition to both osteoblastic and chondrocytic cells within a calcifying environment. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In the present study, using in vitro VSMC calcification studies...

MS-275 (entinostat) and SAHA (vorinostat), two histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors currently in oncological trials, have displayed potent anti-rheumatic activities in rodent models of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). To further elucidate their anti-inflammatory mechanisms, the impact of MS-275 and SAHA on the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway and chemotaxis was assessed ...

A two-parameter group element is presented that interpolates between M-brane solutions. The group element is used to interpret a number of exotic branes related to the generators of the adjoint representation of E11 as non-marginal half-BPS bound states of M-branes. It is conjectured that the adjoint representation of E11 contains only generators related to bound states of fundamental M-branes ...

Klf9 and Klf13 are members of the C(2)H(2) zinc finger family of transcription factors that are thought to be involved in regulating basal transcription. The mRNA localization of Klf9 and Klf13 during development was determined by in situ hybridization of mouse E8, E11, E13 and E16 embryo sections. The data showed that Klf9 and Klf13 are widely expressed at all the mouse embryo stages examined....

For the single-walled carbon nanotubes, the higher values of anti-Stokes/Stokes Raman intensity ratio (Ias/Is) then the predictions of the Maxwell-Bolzmann formula indicates a CARS emission resulting from a wave mixing process between the incident laser light (ωl) and Stokes Raman light (ωs) generated by a SERS mechanism . The weaker value of (Ias/Is) observed at resonant excitation of semicond...
