The contribution of transient outward current (Ito) to changes in ventricular action potential (AP) repolarization induced by acidosis is unresolved, as is the indirect effect of these changes on calcium handling. To address this issue we measured intracellular pH (pHi), Ito, L-type calcium current (ICa,L), and calcium transients (CaTs) in rabbit ventricular myocytes. Intracellular acidosis [pH...

We recently characterized an autocrine renin angiotensin system (RAS) in canine heart. Activation of Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptors (AT1Rs) induced electrical remodeling, including inhibition of the transient outward potassium current Ito, prolongation of the action potential (AP), increased calcium entry and increased contractility. Electrical properties of the mouse heart are very different ...

Indium-tin-oxide (ITO) nanorods (NRs) and nanowhiskers (NWhs) were fabricated by an electron-beam glancing-angle deposition (GLAD) system. These nanomaterials are of interests as transparent conducting electrodes in various devices. Two terahertz (THz) time-domain spectrometers (TDS) with combined spectral coverage from 0.15 to 9.00 THz were used. These allow accurate determination of the optic...

Steffensen’s inequality deals with the comparison between integrals over a whole interval [a, b] and integrals over a subset of [a, b]. In this paper we prove an inequality which is similar to Steffensen’s inequality. The most general form of this inequality deals with integrals over a measure space. We also consider the discrete case.

In this paper, indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticles has been prepared by chemical methods under given conditions with solution of indium chloride (InCl3·4H2O), tin chloride (SnCl4·5H2O) in ammonia solution. The samples were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses after heat treatments. The SEM results showed that, the size of the ITO particles pr...

by using euler-maclaurin's summation formula and the way of real analysis, a more accurate multiplehilbert-type inequality and the equivalent form are given. we also prove that the same constantfactor in the equivalent inequalities is the best possible.

in this paper, some results of the chebyshev type integral inequality for the pseudo-integral are proven. the obtained results, are related to the measure of a level set of the maximum and the sum of two non-negative integrable functions. finally, we applied our results  to the case of comonotone functions.
