Homogenization of Mutually Immiscible Polymers Using Nanoscale Effects: A Theoretical Study
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2008)
A theoretical study to investigate homogenization of mutually immiscible polymers using nanoscale effects has been performed. Specifically, the miscibility behavior of all-polymer nanocomposites composed of linear-polystyrene ...
Mapping the nation in contemporary Basque literature
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2008)
This article examines the importance of memory and reflections on memory in the modern humanities. After a brief review of the concepts introduced by various critics and historians (Muller, White, Hutcheon, Lowenthal, ...
Gene Expression Profiling in Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy 2A
(Public Library of Science, 2008-11-18)
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A) is a recessive genetic disorder caused by mutations in calpain 3 (CAPN3). Calpain 3 plays different roles in muscular cells, but little is known about its functions or in ...
Randomised, crossover clinical trial, in healthy volunteers, to compare the systemic availability of two topical intranasal budesonide formulations
(BioMed Central, 2008-06)
Background: Budesonide has a long history as intranasal drug, with many marketed products. Efforts should be made to demonstrate the therapeutic equivalence and safety comparability between them. Given that systemic ...
Suboptimal regulation of a class of bilinear interconnected systems with finite-time sliding planning horizons
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2008)
This paper focuses on the suboptimization of a class of multivariable discrete-time bilinear systems consisting of interconnected bilinear subsystems with respect to a linear quadratic optimal regulation criterion which ...
Antibody Complementarity-Determining Regions (CDRs) Can Display Differential Antimicrobial, Antiviral and Antitumor Activities
(Public Library of Science, 2008-06-11)
Background: Complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) are immunoglobulin (Ig) hypervariable domains that determine specific antibody (Ab) binding. We have shown that synthetic CDR-related peptides and many decapeptides ...
A comparative study of the field strength prediction methods in the MW band
(IET, 2008-10-23)
[EN] The recently developed digital radio systems for the MW band require accurate field
strength prediction algorithms for coverage estimation. This paper presents a
comparison of the estimation accuracy provided by the ...
Maternal hypothyroxinemia impairs spatial learning and synaptic nature and function in the Offspring
(The Endocrine Society, 2008-10-01)
Neurological deficits in the offspring caused by human maternal hypothyroxinemia are thought to be irreversible. To understand the mechanism responsible for these neurological alterations, we induced maternal hypothyroxinemia ...
Neutrophils of Centenarians Show Function Levels Similar to Those of Young Adults
(Wiley, 2008)
OBJECTIVES: To analyze several functions and antioxidant parameters of peripheral blood neutrophils from healthy centenarians (men and women) and compare them with those of healthy young (aged 25–35) and middle-aged (aged ...
Lexical tone and stress in Goizueta Basque
(Cambridge University Press, 2008)
Research in the past few decades has shown that Northern Bizkaian Basque possesses a pitch-accent system of the Tokyo Japanese type, with a contrast between lexically accented and unaccented words. There is, however, a ...
