Acid-sensing ion channels (ASIC) are voltage-insensitive, cationic channels that have recently been identified in vascular smooth muscle (VSM). It is possible that ASIC contribute to vascular reactivity via Na(+) and Ca(2+) conductance; however, their function in VSM is largely unknown. In pulmonary VSM, store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) plays a significant role in vasoregulatory mechanisms su...

The kinetics of nanocrystallization of a Mn-doped FINEMET alloy from its amorphous precursor is reported. The alloy studied was of a composition (Fe1 Mn )73 5Nb3CuSi13 5B9 where = 0 05. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed that -FeSi is the product of primary nanocrystallization. Crystallization kinetics were studied using time-dependent magnetization, ( ), as a measure of the volume fraction crys...

The current situation in the market caused by COVID-19 pandemic brings new challenges. Lean management showed its deficiency form of low stock (JIT/JIS) already during tsunami 2011 Japan, when leader LEAN Toyota withdrew from zero order to be able respond agilely serious supply disruptions. unfavourable is a global problem that requirements ensure competitiveness companies. A possible response ...

Magnetic and magneto-optical properties were measured at room temperature in the Mn-diffused surface layer of a CdGeP2 single crystal. The magnetization curve measured using VSM clearly shows a ferromagnetic hysteresis loop with Hc=0.4 kOe superposed on the diamagnetic component. The ferromagnetic Curie temperature was determined as 320 K from the magnetization vs. temperature curve. The magnet...

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of Mn concentration on the structural, magneticand optical properties of TiO2 nanoparticles. TiO2 nanopowders with Mn concentration of 0%,0.2%, 1% and 5% were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The structural, surface morphologyand average crystal grain size, optical, magnetic properties and chemical compounds of thesamples are studied using XRD, FE-...

Cd1 ? xMnxFe2O4 (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) spinel ferrite nanoparticle samples were synthesized using a flash auto-combustion technique and analyzed X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The inspection of dielectric magnetic properties the prepared ferrites was carried out by broadband (BDS) vibration sample magnetometer (V...

A pseudo-strain energy function (pseudo-SEF) describing the biomechanical properties of large conduit arteries under the influence of vascular smooth muscle (VSM) tone is proposed. In contrast to previous models that include the effects of smooth muscle contraction through generation of an active stress, in this study we consider the vascular muscle as a structural element whose contribution to...
