Macro-sieve electrodes were implanted in the sciatic nerve of five adult male Lewis rats following spinal cord injury to assess the ability of the macro-sieve electrode to interface regenerated peripheral nerve fibers post-spinal cord injury. Each spinal cord injury was performed via right lateral hemisection of the cord at the T9-10 site. Five months post-implantation, the ability of the macro...

There are a number of programmable macro systems such as Lisp’s. While they can handle complex program transformation, they still have difficulty in handling some kinds of transformation typical in object-oriented programming. This paper examines this problem and, to address it, presents an advanced macro system based on ideas borrowed from reflection. Unlike other macro systems, our macro syst...

An attempt to use the Times macro, [2], was the origin of writing this article. First, the semantics of the macro composition as developed in [23, 3, 4] is extended to the case of macro instructions which are not always halting. Next, several functors extending the memory handling for SCMFSA, [18], are defined; they are convenient when writing more complicated programs. After this preparatory w...

Macro creatine kinase (CK, EC 2.7.3.2) and macro lactate dehydrogenase (LD, EC 1.1.1.27) were both present in the serum of a 70-year-old woman with myocardial infarction. This interfered with the interpretation of the CK and LD isoenzyme analyses. Gel filtration and immunoprecipitation showed that the macro CK consisted of IgG and CK and the macro LD of IgG and LD. The IgG in this patient bound...

Important benefits accrue to the profession and to its vulnerable clientele when social workers hold positions with substantial community or policy influence. However, fewer social workers are holding these positions than in the past, and student preferences to pursue macro-specific training have declined. To improve the social work profession's ability to recruit and educate students intereste...
