An analog signal processing technique allowing arbitrary step
response is presented. A transversal structure is used with
nonuniform contradirectional coupling to provide continuous tapping.
Sinusoidal and chirp responses are presented as examples implemented
using this nonuniformly coupled microstrip structure.
BCNU caused severe cholestasis in rats after a single intraperitoneal injection. The cholestasis was characterized by a selective reduction of the bile salt independent bile flow to 11% of control. Decreased food or water consumption by the treated rats apparently did not contribute to cholestasis. Measurements of plasma Na⁺ and...
Absorption of iron from foods has been reported to be inhibited by
various factors including some diet components. Fiber from different
sources has been observed to bind ferrous iron. This may be the reason
for iron deficiencies observed in populations that consume diets high in
non-digestible materials.
The effect of...
The physical properties of the purified cardiac muscarinic acetylcholine receptor have been examined by D₂O/H₂O sucrose gradient sedimentation and sephacryl S-300 gel filtration in Triton X-405 and dodecyl-β-maltoside. From the sedimentation experiments, the partial specific volume of the receptor-Triton X-405 complex were 0.813 cm³/g and 5.30 S, respectively and the...
A study was conducted to determine the effects or
temperature, solar radiation, rainfall, and saturated flow
on fecal coliform numbers in sewage sludge-amended soils.
To determine this, four 4.6 X 13.7 m field plots were each
amended in summer and in winter with 800 liters of
anaerobically-digested sewage sludge, and...
The main objective of this thesis is to investigate the microprocessor's
potentials to improve the productivity of Industrial
Engineers engaged in work design and measurement. More exactly, the
following four hypotheses were proposed and investigated:
(1) A Universal Time Data (UTD) structure could be used to
accommodate a variety of...
Previous investigation showed that 20 mg/kg BCNU
caused inhibition of sulfobromophthalein (BSP) excretion
and inhibited bile salt independent bile flow (BSIF) in
rats by 48 h after treatment (Hoyt, 1984).
The present investigation demonstrated that BCNU
inhibited the canalicular step in the excretion of BSP.
This was indicated by the...
