The ligands interacting with enterochromaffin-like (ECL) and parietal cells and the signaling interactions between these cells were investigated in rabbit gastric glands using confocal microscopy. Intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) changes were used to monitor cellular responses. Histamine and carbachol increased [Ca(2+)](i) in parietal cells. Gastrin (1 nM) increased [Ca(2+)](i)...

Fundamental transformations of underlying cleavage structures in advanced democracies should become evident new collective identities. This article uses quantitative text analysis to investigate how voters describe their ingroups and outgroups open-ended survey responses. I look at Switzerland, a paradigmatic case electoral realignment along “second,” universalism–particularism dimension politi...

industries in developing countries add new production lines producing altogether different waste stream. this newer waste invariably finds its way to existing anaerobic treatment system causing gradual/sudden change in feed substrates affecting its steady performances. this study investigates steady response of anaerobic reactors subjected to sudden change in feed substrate types, assesses its ...

host genetic factors play a central role in determining the clinical phenotype of human diseases. association between two polymorphic loci in human genome, human leukocyte antigen (hla) and killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (kirs), and genetically complex infectious disease, particularly those of viral etiology, have been historically elusive. hence, defining the influence of genetic di...

A name cannot change the city and our relationship with places. However, new terms for now-nameless spaces will help to change people’s perception and their capability of seeing what they have never seen before. The geographer’s taxonomic effort to re-designate urban places and typologies involves a political and ideological content. Most urban spaces are unmanageable because they fit neither w...

Abstract Invasive aspergillosis is a dangerous infection commonly affecting immunocompromised patients. The spores of the fungal pathogen, Aspergillus, are found ubiquitously in environment and inhaled daily by all humans. These cleared quickly effectively healthy hosts without developing infection. On other hand, patients with impaired immunity, can develop an invasive pneumonia poor outcomes....
