S-312, a new calcium antagonist with a bicyclic dihydrothienopyridine structure, potently relaxed the helical strips of various isolated rabbit arteries precontracted with high K+-depolarization, serotonin (5-HT) and U46619 (thromboxane A2 analogue), and it competitively inhibited Ca++-induced contractions in depolarized basilar and femoral arteries. These effects of S-312 were more potent than...

We present a parallel machine, based on programmable devices, dedicated to simulate spin glass models with Z2 variables and short range interaction. A working prototype is described for two lattices containing 312 × 312 spins each with an update time of 50 ns per spin. The final version of the three dimensional parallel machine is discussed with spin update time up to 312 ps.

Background: Ureaplasma urealyticum is known as a sexually transmitted agent, causing mainly urethritis, pelvic int1ammatory disease, spontaneous abortion, pyelonephritis, infertility, stillbirth, low birth weight neonatal meningititis, and neonatal pneumonia. U. urealyticum infections not only jeopardize fertility but also pose a risk for infertility treatment and resulting pregnancies. Dia...
