Role of Platelet-Activating Factor in Acid-Induced Esophageal Mucosal Injury
Studies on the pathophysiology of reflux esophagitis have focused on the associated motility and/or structural abnormalities, with relatively little attention directed to inflammatory mediators involved in the...

Superconducting Quantum Computing Without Switches
This Chapter presents a very simple architecture for a large-scale superconducting quantum computer. All of the SQUID qubits are fixed-coupled to a single large superconducting loop.

Role of Substance P and Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide in Acid-Induced Augmentation of Opossum Esophageal Blood Flow
Increased esophageal blood flow may protect against damaging refluxed gastric juices. We have shown that mast cells, histamine, and nitric oxide increase esophageal blood flow in the opossum during acid perfus...

Prevention of reperfusion injury in ischemic-reperfused hearts by oxypurinol and allopurinol
We investigated the effects of the xanthine oxidase inhibitor allopurinol and its metabolite oxypurinol on isolated rabbit hearts. To assess the potential role of these drugs in preventing reperfusion injury, ...

Integrated tuning elements for SIS mixers
The use of inductive elements to tune out the junction capacitance in SIS mixers is examined. Two new integrated tuning structures are introduced which overcome the limitations of earlier designs.

Mixing with SIS Arrays
The various chapters in this volume attest to the rapid development of the superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) quasiparticle mixer. At every stage in this development, the results from series-arrayed ju...

A Kramers-Kronig Analysis of Interstellar Extinction
Integrals over the observed spectrum of interstellar extinction to 9 μm−1 are related to known laboratory properties of specific compounds. Using Lα hydrogen densities and cosmic abundance ratios, many suggested ...
