Calcium and the Mediation of Tubuloglomerular Feedbacks Signals
The process of urine formation by the mammalian kidney is under the general control of two metabolically distinct processes. First, there is the filtration of fluid across the glomerular capillaries and into B...

Wall-Associated Antigens of Coccidioides Immitis
The cell wall of most pathogenic fungi has been shown to be a reservoir of immunoreactive macromolecules (Hall et al., 1978, San Bias, 1982, 1985; Huppert, 1983, Hearn, 1984; Brawner and Cutler, 1986a,b; Ponto...

Indication for Transplant and Efficacy of Itraconazole in Aspergillus Fumigatus Infection Reconsidered
A patient born in 1945, B chronic hepatitis since 1982 and HCV hepatitis, hemodialysed for polycystic kidney disease, received primary renal transplantation in 1984. Non observance for immunosupressive treatme...

Comparing plant life histories using elasticity analysis: the importance of life span and the number of life-cycle stages
Recent studies have used transition matrix elasticity analysis to investigate the relative role of survival (L), growth (G) and fecundity (F) in determining the estimated rate of population increase for perenn...

A serum-mediated mechanism for concomitant resistance shared by immunogenic and non-immunogenic murine tumours
Resistance of tumour-bearing mice to a second tumour challenge, that is concomitant resistance, was evaluated in euthymic and nude mice using nine tumours with widely different degrees of immunogenicity. Two t...

Left ventricular adaptation to chronic pressure overload induced by inhibition of nitric oxide synthase in rats
Recent studies have indicated that chronic inhibition of nitric oxide synthase induces arterial hypertension without myocardial hypertrophy. We investigated the mechanisms of left ventricular (LV) adaptation...

Nephrotic syndrome as a clinical manifestation of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in a marrow transplant recipient after cyclosporine withdrawal
GVHD is one of the most frequent complications of BMT and recently nephrotic syndrome (NS) has been described as a manifestation of chronic GVHD. Here, we present an AA patient who developed NS 1 year after BM...

Numerical simulations of the nonlinear propagation of femtosecond optical pulses in gases
A two-dimensional axisymmetric model of the propagation of intense femtosecond laser pulses through dispersion-free transparent media is described. The effects of diffraction, nonlinear Kerr effect (instantane...

Nanoscale topography of the basement membrane underlying the corneal epithelium of the rhesus macaque
This paper quantitatively defines the nanoscale topography of the basement membrane underlying the anterior corneal epithelium of the macaque. Excised corneal buttons from macaques were placed in 2.5 mM ethyl...

Improving rumen fermentation and milk production with legume-tree fodder in the tropics
Feeding leguminous fodder that is high in protein can improve rumen fermentation parameters leading to increased digestibility and intake of low quality fibrous feeds, and hence improved animal production. The...

Promoting intake of Cratylia argentea as a dry season supplement for cattle grazing Hyparrhenia rufa in the subhumid tropics
Cratylia argentea, a drought tolerant shrub, is known to produce significant amounts of fodder during the dry season but little is known of its nutritive value for feeding animals. Two studies of quality and int...

Concatenation of plasma filaments created in air by femtosecond infrared laser pulses
We report the first observation of the attachment of two single plasma filaments created collinearly in the atmosphere by IR femtosecond laser pulses. The linked filamentary structure is electrically conductiv...

Long-range self-channeling of infrared laser pulses in air: a new propagation regime without ionization
We report long-range self-channeling in air of multiterawatt femtosecond laser pulses with large negative initial chirps. The peak intensity in the light channels is at least one order of magnitude lower than ...

Enhanced harmonic conversion efficiency in the self-guided propagation of femtosecond ultraviolet laser pulses in argon
Harmonic generation during the self-guided propagation of femtosecond ultraviolet (UV) laser pulses (248-nm, 450-fs) in argon is investigated. The third (82.7-nm) and fifth (49.6-nm) harmonics are generated in...

Effects of hyaluronic acid in culture and cytochalasin B treatment before freezing on survival of cryopreserved bovine embryos produced in vitro
One limitation to the widespread use of in vitro-produced embryos in cattle is their poor survival following cryopreservation. Two approaches for enhancing survival of in vitro-produced bovine embryos followin...

Femtosecond filament amplification in liquids
We study the femtosecond filamentation in a liquid amplifying medium, sulphorhodamine 640 in a methanol solvent. In the presence of population inversion, the energy of the filament increases while its diameter...
