Abstract The typical response to the lowering of plasma Na+ concentration and blood pressure in our body involves the release of aldosterone from the adrenal glands, which triggers the reabsorption of sodium in bushranger awning the kidney.Although the effects of aldosterone on this physiological mechanism were extensively studied in the past decad
This paper presents a new qualitative method for the use of pXRF in archaeological research.A bulk, multi-elemental approach applies a non-destructive survey technique to the copper-alloy objects recovered in a Roman period tarand cemetery, in north-east Estonia.The aim is to explore the chronological development of the cemetery by comparing the ob
Dispensing and dilution processes may profoundly influence estimates of biological activity of compounds.Published data show Ephrin type-B receptor 4 IC50 values obtained via tip-based serial dilution and dispensing versus acoustic dispensing with direct dilution differ by orders of magnitude with no correlation or ranking of datasets.We generated
ObjectiveWe aimed to study current practices in growth monitoring by European primary care paediatricians and to explore their perceived needs in this field.MethodsWe developed a cross-sectional, anonymous on-line survey and contacted primary care paediatricians listed in national directories in the 18 European countries with a confederation of pri
The present contribution aims at providing a comprehensive illustration of a new approach to rotorcraft noise abatement, especially during terminal procedures, when the vehicle approaches the ground and the acoustic impact is higher.This approach pursues the development of technologies and tools for real-time, in-flight monitoring of the emitted no
