    Cellular mechanisms of pancreatic digestive enzyme secretion

    The pancreas is the major provider of digestive enzymes for the luminal phase of digestion, and if they are not adequately present, malabsorption will result. Digestive enzymes are synthesized in and secreted ...

    Anisotropic Creep and Fracture Behaviour of a 9CrMoNbV Weld Metal at 650°C

    Welds form an integral part of most power and chemical plant structures. At elevated temperature, the service lives of these structures are often governed by the creep behaviour in localised regions of the wel...

    Generation of Immunoglobulin/c-myc Recombinations in Murine Peyer’s Patch Follicles

    Plasmacytoma can be induced by the intraperitoneal injection of pristane in susceptible BALB/c mice. Most inbred strains of mice, however, are resistant to this type of plasmacytoma induction (Potter & Wiener,...

    Friction of Sliding Surfaces Carrying Boundary Layers: The Relation between Friction on the Micro- and Macro-Scales

    Commercial lubricants invariably contain a chemically complex additive package, one of whose roles is to produce protective boundary layers on the opposing solids: the aim of the lubricant technologist is to p...

    The Role of Cholecystokinin and Other Gut Peptides on Regulation of Postprandial Glucose and Insulin Levels

    The administration of glucose and amino acids into the gastrointestinal tract produces higher insulin levels and lower glucose levels than when these substances are administered intravenously. There is conside...

    Full Size Component Testing under Creep Conditions

    The design of components operating at high temperatures and pressures in electrical power generating stations is usually based on the creep rupture properties of the parent material. These properties are deter...
