To evaluate the effect of age on sugar transport, we determined the uptake of methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside and the abundance of the Na(+)-D-glucose cotransporter (SGLT1) in jejunal brush-border membrane (BBM) vesicles of 2-day- and 5-wk-old chickens. Methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside transport per BBM protein was 40% lower in adults than in newly hatched chickens. This finding was matched by par...

The potent anticancer drug cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cDDP) impairs glucose reabsorption by renal proximal tubular cells, which leads to glucosuria. We investigated the direct effect of cDDP (0.04-2 mM) on the Na+/glucose cotransport system in brush-border membrane (BBM) vesicles from the rabbit renal cortex. cDDP induced 1) concentration-dependent inhibition of the Na+/glucose cotransp...

Visually based control, accumulation and assistance systems are presented as an effective environment for teleoperation. We developed the Bilateral Behavior Media (BBM) paradigm and implemented systems which offer a status driven interface, collection of sampled control behavior, and operator assistance. The paradigm emphasizes a human-intuitive visual specification of task completion states wi...

The initialand boundary-value problem for the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM) equation is studied in this paper. The goal is to understand the periodic behavior (termed as eventual periodicity) of its solutions corresponding to periodic boundary condition or periodic forcing. To this aim, we derive a new formula representing solutions of this initialand boundary-value problem by inverting the operat...

of Research 1. Evaluation of BBM BBM of the flight hardware was evaluated by repeated culture experiment under the simulated conditions for space experiment. As a part of device development, materials of a fixed container (an EPDM bag) and the fixation ability of the fixatives were also evaluated. After long term storage (> one month) in the EPDM bag gave little damage on the fixed specimens wh...

We construct and describe the extremal process for variable speed branching Brownian motion, studied recently by Fang and Zeitouni, for the case of piecewise constant speeds; in fact for simplicity we concentrate on the case when the speed is σ1 for s ≤ bt and σ2 when bt ≤ s ≤ t. In the case σ1 > σ2, the process is the concatenation of two BBM extremal processes, as expected. In the case σ1 < σ...

Kenaikan harga Bahan Bakar Minyak menjadi salah satu tranding topic di kalangan masyarakat Indonesia, baik dunia nyata maupun maya khususnya media sosial Twitter. Perkembangan teknologi informasi yang sangat pesat memudahkan dalam menyebarkan media. Naiknya BBM memunculkan opini mengandung sentimen positif dan negatif. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui publik terkait kebijakan pemerinta...

We experimentally validate a black box model for long-wavelength erbium doped fiber amplifiers. The agreement between the model and the experiments is closer than in the case of conventionalwavelength erbium amplifiers. Introduction Several models have been proposed to predict gain spectral changes of Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA) under different saturation conditions [1-3]. Most of thes...

Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) is a phosphaturic hormone that contributes to several hypophosphatemic disorders by reducing the expression of the type II sodium-phosphate cotransporters (NaPi-2a and NaPi-2c) in the kidney proximal tubule and by reducing serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)] levels. The FGF receptor(s) mediating the hypophosphatemic action of FGF23 in vivo have...
