In this study we investigated the bronchodilatory and anticholinergic effects of the aqueous extract (AE), brewed extract (BE) and ethanol extract (EE) of Polygonum avicular in comparison with saline (S) on isolated tracheal chains of the guinea pig. Due to the probable confounding effect of ethanol in the EE, the effects of this extract were also compared with 96 % ethanol. None of the plant...

A general solution for the slope of a fusion curve is presented. It is not the Clausius-Clapeyron equation which is a special case for one-component systems. The connection between fusion curve slope and crystal/liquid buoyancy is obscure in multicomponent systems even though the slopes of fusion curves for any given composition are always well defined. The olivine flotation hypothesis at high ...

A soil-water characteristic (SWC) curve describes the amount of water retained in a soil (expressed as mass or volume water content, m or v) under equilibrium at a given matric potential. An SWC is an important hydraulic property, related to size and connectedness of pore spaces, hence strongly affected by soil texture and structure, and by other constituents, including organic matter. Modeling...

Ss were required to select previously exposed pictures of common objects from among series of alternative pictures graded in similarity to the prototypes. Response frequencies were plotted in the form of generalization gradients, and such gradients were obtained following 4 stages of training and 3 retention intervals. In Part II, Ss were trained by exposing the same prototype stimuli, but reco...

We study the effects of globalisation on slope New Keynesian Phillips curve for CPI inflation, based a panel 35 countries. find that output gap generally has significant positive effect but this decreases as integration in global economy increases. conclude advance been key force behind flattening price curves.

to examine how water retention characteristics in a landfill environment change as a result ofsolid waste settlement and to derive the evolution of pore size distribution, a lab scale long column experiment was carried out at two different time periods while keeping all the other characteristics constant. two columns, column 1 and column 2, were used in the study. the log normal distribution mo...
