A Fourth Order Scheme for Incompressible Boussinesq Equations
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-04)
A fourth order finite difference method is presented for the 2D unsteady viscous incompressible Boussinesq equations in vorticity-stream function formulation. The method is especially suitable for moderate to large Reynolds ...
Effect of Neuropeptide Y on Natural Killer Activity of Normal Human Lymphocytes
(Elsevier, 1993-03)
The in vitro effect of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on natural killer (NK) cell activities of normal lymphocytes was investigated. NPY at 10-9 to 10-12M concentrations produced significant suppression of NK activity against K 562 ...
Toward sustainable development: Implications for population aging and the wellbeing of elderly women in developing countries
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Human Sciences Press; Human Sciences Press, Inc. ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-11)
Attaining sustainable development has significant implications for population age structure, family structure and the wellbeing of elderly women. If one of the primary goals of sustainable development is reducing fertility ...
On the dynamic order of structured Escherichia coli growth models
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1987-04-20)
Reliable dynamic descriptions of cellular growth are important for many practical applications including bioreactor design and control. A chemically structured growth model of Escherichia coli has been formulated and ...
An econometric method for estimating population parameters from non‐random samples: An application to clinical case finding
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Centre for Tuberculosis, 2017-09)
The problem of sample selection complicates the process of drawing inference about populations. Selective sampling arises in many real world situations when agents such as doctors and customs officials search for targets ...
A dual function activity-dependent, muscle-specific enhancer from rat nicotinic acetylcholine receptor δ-subunit gene
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1996-11)
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) mediate communication between nerve and muscle. The expression of these receptors increases dramatically during muscle development when myoblasts are fusing into multinucleated ...
Modeling intra-tumor protein expression heterogeneity in tissue microarray experiments
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2008-05-20)
Tissue microarrays (TMAs) measure tumor-specific protein expression via high-density immunohistochemical staining assays. They provide a proteomic platform for validating cancer biomarkers emerging from large-scale DNA ...
Deficit in active avoidance learning in rats following penicillin injection into hippocampus
(Elsevier, 1971-06)
Penicillin was found to cause epileptiform (spike) activity when injected into the hippocampus of male rats. Animals so prepared were found to be severely impaired in the acquisition of a two-way active avoidance task. ...
Problems in the estimation and interpretation of the reliability of survey data
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1989-09)
In this paper I discuss several of the difficulties involved in estimating the reliability of survey measurement. Reliability is defined on the basis of classical true-score theory , as the correlational consistency of ...
