An accurate line list, called XABC, is computed for nitric oxide which covers its pure rotational, vibrational and rovibronic spectra. A mixture of empirical theoretical electronic transition dipole moments are used the final calculation $^{14}\mathrm{N}^{16}\mathrm{O}$ $\mathrm{A}\,^2\Sigma^+$ -- $\mathrm{X}\,^2\Pi$, $\mathrm{B}\,^2\Pi$ $\mathrm{X}^2\Pi$ $\mathrm{C}\,^2\Pi$ $\mathrm{X}\,^2\Pi$...

Phosphoinositide (3,5)-bisphosphate [PI(3,5)P(2)] is a newly identified phosphoinositide that modulates intracellular Ca(2+) by activating ryanodine receptors (RyRs). Since the contractile state of arterial smooth muscle depends on the concentration of intracellular Ca(2+), we hypothesized that by mobilizing sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) stores PI(3,5)P(2) would increase intracellular Ca(2...

The second phase of the biphasic force decay upon release of phosphate from caged phosphate was previously interpreted as a signature of kinetics of the force-generating step in the cross-bridge cycle. To test this hypothesis without using caged compounds, force responses and individual sarcomere dynamics upon rapid increases or decreases in concentration of inorganic phosphate [Pi] were invest...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of pilus islets [pilus islet 1 (PI-1) and pilus islet 2 (PI-2)] in pneumococcal isolates from healthy Icelandic preschool children attending day care centres, prior to the introduction of conjugated pneumococcal vaccine, and the association of the pilus islets with vaccine serotypes and antibiotic resistance. METHODS Nas...

In the paper, we refine and extend Cusa-Huygens inequality by simple functions. particular, determine sharp bounds for $$\sin x /x$$ of form $$(2+\cos x)/3 -(2/3-2/\pi )\Upsilon (x)$$ , where $$\Upsilon (x)>0$$ $$x\in (0, \pi /2)$$ (0)=0$$ (\pi /2)=1$$ such that x/x$$ proposed coincide at $$x=0$$ $$x=\pi /2$$ . The hierarchy obtained is discussed, along with a graphical study. Also, alternative...
