Field investigations of the performance of air bag deployments in frontal collisions
(Elsevier, 1993-12)
This paper documents field investigations of "air bag" crashes selected from a large group of air bag crashes in file at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI). A full range of crashes are ...
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 ...
Cytogenetic analysis of posterior uveal melanoma
(Elsevier, 1993-03)
Cytogenetic analysis was performed on short-term cultures of primary tumor samples from seven patients with posterior uveal melanoma. Informative data were obtained from four patients, all of whom had a near-diploid ...
Intracellular partitioning of androgen receptor immunoreactivity in the brain of the male syrian hamster: Effects of castration and steroid replacement
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1993-07)
The effect of castration and steroid replacement on the intracellular partitioning of the androgen receptor in the brain of the male Syrian hamster was determined using immunocytochemistry. Androgen receptors were visualized ...
Lesions of the central nucleus of the amygdala I: Effects on taste reactivity, taste aversion learning and sodium appetite
(Elsevier, 1993-12-31)
Bilateral damage to the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeAX) in the rat blunts need-induced NaCl intake and abolishes daily need-free NaCl intake when measured with a two-bottle test. Such a deficit could be the result ...
Inhibitory and excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter binding sites in cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis) cervical spinal cord
(Elsevier, 1993-02-26)
Autoradiography of inhibitory and excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter binding sites in the cervical spinal cord of M. fascicularis spinal cord revealed inhomogenous distribution of all binding sites in spinal gray matter. ...
Assessment of foveal cone photoreceptors in Stargardt's macular dystrophy using a small dot detection task
(Elsevier, 1993-07)
We measured frequency-of-seeing curves for tiny (1.125 and 3.375 min arc) stimuli flashed briefly at absolute threshold to estimate the density of foveal cones in normals and in subjects with Stargardt's macular dystrophy. ...
Effects of serum and insulin-like growth factors on human neuroblastoma cell growth
(Elsevier, 1993-10-20)
Insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I and IGF-II) are mitogenic polypeptides expressed in both developing and adult tissues. To examine the effects of IGFs on neuronal growth, we used SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells as an in vitro ...
Shape-selective separation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by reversed-phase liquid chromatography on tetraphenylporphyrin-based stationary phases
(Elsevier, 1993-07-02)
The reversed-phase chromatographic behavior of planar and non-planar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is investigated on tetraphenylporphyrin and two metallotetraphenylporphyrin [Sn(IV), In(III)] bonded stationary ...
