The Adult Treatment Panel III: metabolic syndrome R ichard Pasternak (Boston, MA) discussed the deliberations that led the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III to propose a new definition of the metabolic syndrome (1) and the impact of this proposal in heightening awareness of the insulin resistance syndrome (IRS). Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the main cause...

Flow induced vibration and smart control of elastically coupled double-nanotube-systems (CDNTSs) are investigated based on Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory and Euler-Bernoulli beam model. The CDNTS is considered to be composed of Carbon Nanotube (CNT) and Boron-Nitride Nanotube (BNNT) which are attached by Pasternak media. The BNNT is subjected to an applied voltage in the axial direction w...

Free vibration of a magnetoelectroelastic plate resting on a Pasternak foundation is investigated based on Mindlin theory. The in-plane electric and magnetic fields can be ignored for plates. According to the Maxwell equation and magnetoelectric boundary condition, the variation of electric and magnetic potentials along the thickness direction of the plate is determined. Using Hamilton’s princi...

Opioids are some of the most effective pain-relieving drugs used in the clinical management of pain (Gilman et al. 1990). In addition to their analgesic effect, opioid peptides and alkaloids also affect a number of physiological functions including hormone secretion, neurotransmitter release, feeding, gastrointestinal motility, and respiratory activity (Pasternak 1988). Extensive physiological,...

Crucial to an understanding of the mechanism of cell replication is a knowledge of the manner in which intracellular and surface membranes develop between successive divisions . The application of zonal centrifugation to separate cells according to their size and hence their relative age (Warmsley and Pasternak, 1970) has enabled us to study the timing of these events by measuring changes in fo...

Abstract Variational principles and variationally consistent boundary conditions are derived for a system of double Rayleigh beams undergoing vibrations subject to axial loads. The elastic layer connecting the modelled as three-parameter nonlinear Winkler–Pasternak with Winkler having linear components Pasternak only component. forced freely vibrating beam using semi-inverse approach.

The mucins of sheep colonic mucosa, like other epithelial secretions, are members of the group of 'neutral' niucosubstances (Werner, 1953; Kent, 1962). These characteristically contain L-fucose, D-galactose, N-acetylamino sugars and frequently sialic acids and mannose (Gottschalk, 1960). Their chemical structure and the nature of the sugarpeptide links involved have not yet been established. Pr...
