The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of training on the in vivo tibial structural strength during the development of post-ovariectomy osteoporosis. Seventeen mature Wistar rats (215 g) were ovariectomized and randomized into two groups. The sedentary control group was kept cage confined, while 3 days postoperatively the trained group started treadmill running with high intensity for

Archaeology has become a potent element in themed environments that abound in contemporary popular culture. This short article reviews the archaeological motifs that can be found in environments such as Disneyland and on the Las Vegas Strip. They provide a set of imagery to which people can easily relate and that immerses them in a world different from the normal routines and restrictions of every

Data from full scale experiments are collected and organized in a database. A statistical method is developed to evaluate the uncertainty in predictions of smoke transport models. The method is based on a regression analysis of measured and predicted data. The computer program CFAST is evaluated to exemplify the statistical method. The uncertainty is quantified with a regression coefficient and th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Beräkningar med detaljerade kemiska reaktionssytem, med uppemot 1500 kemiska reaktioner, har utförts på HCCI-motorer, en experimentell motortyp som bygger på homogen kompressionsantändning. Resultaten jämfördes med experimentella mätningar och visade att beräkningar med god noggrannhet kan utföras, men att antändingsprocessen är mycket känslig för även små variationer iCalculations on a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine have been performed. Zero-dimensional models were used. The simplest model compressed the gas to auto-ignition, using temperature and pressure at a certain crank angle position obtained from engine experiments. It was found that calculations with good agreement could be accomplished, if using correct temperature, pressure and

Properties of simple strategies for swinging up an inverted pendulum are discussed. It is shown that the behavior critically depends on the ratio of the maximum acceleration of the pivot to the acceleration of gravity. A comparison of energy-based strategies with minimum time strategy gives interesting insights into the robustness of minimum time solutions.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Functional tests that are stable and consistent over time are an advantage for long-term evaluation of treatment in experimental stroke research. Because little information on this subject is available in rodents with focal cerebral ischemia, we investigated the outcome of three behavioral tests for a period of 3 months after the insult. METHODS: Spontaneously hypertensive

Multiple-quantum spin relaxation is a sensitive probe for correlated conformational exchange dynamics on microsecond to millisecond time scales in biomolecules. We measured differential H-1-N-15 multiple-quantum relaxation rates for the backbone amide groups of the E140Q mutant of the C-terminal domain of calmodulin at three static magnetic field strengths. The differential multiple-quantum relaxa

The use of low emissivity windows degrades radio communication. This Communication presents design, manufacturing, and test measurements for an energy saving window that is transparent to GSM, GPS, and 3G radio wave frequencies. A frequency selective structure (FSS) is used in the metallic coating of the window to provide the desirable transparency in the frequency range from 900 MHz to 2 GHz. The

A total of six high-resolution FT-IR spectra for trans-glyoxal-d(2), trans-glyoxal-d(1) and trans-glyoxal-C-13(2) were recorded with a resolution ranging from 0.003 to 0.004 cm(-1). By means of a simultaneous ground state combination difference analysis for each of these isotopologues using the Watson Hamiltonian in A-reduction and I-r-representation the ground state rotational constants are obtai
