Pressure-broadened half-widths of 2 transitions are determined using the complex Robert–Bonamy formal9 ism for four isotopomers of water vapor: H18 2 O; H 17 2 O; HD O, and D16 2 O. The calculations are made with nitrogen and oxygen as the perturbing gases. A survey of the literature revealed N2-broadened measurements 11 of 365, 61, 990, and 545 2 transitions of the H18 2 O; H 17 2 O; HD O, and...

BACKGROUND The implication of nitric oxide (NO) in the development of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) using an animal model, was examined. The manner by which the trypanocidal activity of NO is impaired in the periphery and in the brain of rats infected with Trypanosoma brucei brucei (T. b. brucei) was analyzed through: (i) the changes occurring in NO concentration in both peripheral (blood...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of a functional polymorphism consisting of an aspartic acid (D) repeat located in the asporin gene (ASPN) gene in the susceptibility to and clinical outcome of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). METHODS A total of 374 Chinese patients with ankylosing spondylitis and 421 controls of the same ethnic origin matched for age and sex were included in the study. The aspor...

The placenta adapts its transport capacity to nutritional cues developmentally, although relatively little is known about placental transport phenotype in response to hypoxia, a major cause of fetal growth restriction. The present study determined the effects of both moderate hypoxia (13% inspired O2) between days (D)11 and D16 or D14 and D19 of pregnancy and severe hypoxia (10% inspired O2) fr...

Stress-induced activation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is known to be attenuated during late pregnancy and throughout lactation. To investigate the neural basis of this stress hyporesponsiveness we examined the changes in the restraint-induced HPA response and accompanying forebrain expression of c-fos mRNA that occur in rats between days 16 (D16) and 19 (D19) of gestation, t...

Penggunaan beton ringan aerasi sebagai material dinding akan mengakibatkan beban gravitasi dan gempa yang dipikul oleh struktur bangunan menjadi berkurang dibandingkan apabila menggunakan bata merah. Karena bekerja intensitasnya maka gaya dalam timbul pada gedung atau portal (balok kolom) juga begitu reaksi perletakannya, sehingga terjadi pengurangan dimensi penulangan fondasi. Pengurangan ters...

Improving the efficiency of drilling is an important task in engineering. Supported by improved board metal parts, which before elastically deform region below limit proportionally, ensures immutability other sizes. The experimental way was semi-centered dependence axial force when performing blanks from duralumin D16 elasticly stressful state. These dependences allow you to select Cor-Rubber c...

Biotic elicitors can be used to stimulate the production of secondary metabolites in plants. However, limited information is available on the effects of biotic elicitors from endophytic fungi on their host plant. Trichoderma atroviride D16 is an endophytic fungus isolated from the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza and previously reported to produce tanshinone I (T-I) and tanshinone IIA (T-IIA). Here,...

In late pregnancy, maternal insulin resistance occurs to support fetal growth, but little is known about insulin-glucose dynamics close to delivery. This study measured insulin sensitivity in mice in late pregnancy at day 16 (D16) and near term at D19. Nonpregnant (NP) and pregnant mice were assessed for metabolite and hormone concentrations, body composition by DEXA, tissue insulin signaling p...
