Evidence for the role of lipid rafts and sphingomyelin in Ca2+-gating of Transient Receptor
Potential channels in trigeminal sensory neurons and peripheral nerve terminals - …

Rationale: Methacholine (Mch) is routinely used to assess bronchial hyperreactivity; however,
little is known about the differences in the lung response pattern between this provocation …

Electrical stimulation of intercostal muscles was employed to measure thoracic gas volume (TGV)
during airway occlusion in the absence of respiratory effort at different levels of lung …

Absolute lung volumes such as functional residual capacity, residual volume (RV), and total
lung capacity (TLC) are used to characterize emphysema in patients, whereas in animal …

The premium on the bank's NOW account deposits ranges betuveen–16% to+ 12% over the
sample period, uith an average life (of the deposits liability) of betuveen 7.8 and 9.8 years. …

This paper provides an empirical implementation of a reduced form credit risk model that
incorporates both liquidity risk and correlated defaults. Liquidity risk is modeled as a …

The double sigmoidal nature of the mouse pressure-volume (PV) curve is well recognized
but largely ignored. This study systematically examined the effect of inflating the mouse lung …

Understanding the fluorescence of complex systems such as small nanocrystals with
various surface terminations in solution is still a scientific challenge. Here we show that the …

A tracking impedance estimation technique was developed to follow the changes in total
respiratory impedance (Zrs) during slow total lung capacity maneuvers in six anesthetized and …

Ultrasmall silicon carbide nanoparticles (SiC USNPs) are very promising biomarkers for
developing new applications in diagnostics, cell monitoring or drug delivery, even though their …
