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...
Static and dynamic numerical techniques which are suited for the
analysis and simulation of various planar microstrip components
encountered in hybrid and monolithic microwave integrated circuits are
presented. The static analysis makes use of an excess source formulation in conjunction with an efficient mathematical treatment to
extract the discontinuity parameter...
Renibacterium salmoninarum produces bacterial kidney
disease (BKD) in salmonid fish. Soluble antigen(s) (SA) produced
by the bacterium was characterized by physicochemical,
functional and immunological methods. The molecular weight
determination by SDS-PAGE analysis of SA yielded 14 different
molecular weight species. Seven of these species were
prominent, 57 kd protein being...
The HAPEX-MOBILHY regional experiment provided an significant opportunity to analyze
the partition of energy and distribution of water over land surfaces. The combination of
remotely sensed data and ground instrument networks over the large-scale in situ experiment
allowed investigation of spatial and temporal variation of such hydrologic parameters as the...
The purpose of the study was to explore the ethnic identity of
Chinese American adolescents through the investigation of
relationships between ethnic identity and selected demographic,
sociocultural, and psychological characteristics.
Data were obtained from 106 Chinese American youth between the
ages of 14 and 21 through the use of two...
Studies were conducted to investigate the metabolism of
selenium (Se) , and the influences of Se on the metabolism of cadmium (Cd) and inorganic mercury (Hg) in rats, and in ram semen in
vitro. Se-deficient (-Se) or Se-adequate (+Se) rats were injected intraperitoneally with either ¹⁰⁹CdCl₂ (5 μCi/rat) or ²⁰³HgN0₃...
Metabolic and performance parameters of beef calves were
compared between Se supplemented (Se) and control (C) dam
treatment groups from known Se deficient cattle. Four
trials were conducted at three locations involving 50,
36, 25 and 39 experimental dam/calf pairs. Se
supplementation was either two 30 gram oral boluses (90%...
