Novel selective compounds for the investigation of imidazoline receptors
(1999-06)
Over several years our group has sought to synthesize and identify selective ligands for imidazoline (I) receptors, in particular the I2 binding site. As a consequence, [3H]2-(2-benzofuranyl)-2-imidazoline (2BFI) has proved ...
The potential magnetic field of AB Doradus: comparison with Zeeman-Doppler images
(1999-05-01)
We have modelled the global-magnetic-field topology of the young, rapidly rotating KO dwarf AB Dor by assuming that the field is potential and using as a boundary condition Zeeman-Doppler images of the surface radial field ...
The astrophysical r-process : A comparison of calculations following adiabatic expansion with classical calculations based on neutron densities and temperatures
(1999-05-01)
The rapid neutron-capture process (r-process) encounters unstable nuclei far from beta-stability. Therefore its observable features, like the abundances, witness (still uncertain) nuclear structure as well as the conditions ...
Implications of land use change for the production of plant biomass in densely populated Sahelo-Sudanian shrub-grasslands in north-east Nigeria.
(1999-05)
The production of plant biomass on small farms and in woodland in densely populated locations in the Nigerian Sahelo-Sudan is estimated in order to test the hypothesis that conversion of land from natural vegetation to ...
Design principles from traditional mountain irrigation systems (bisses) in the Valais, Switzerland
(1999-05)
The bisses are a traditional mountain irrigation system constructed in response to periodic water deficit during the summer months in the Valais canton of Switzerland. The origins of the bisse system can be traced back to ...
A meta-analysis of mass-media tests of extrasensory perception
(1999-05)
Some scientists have argued that recent meta-analyses of many different types of parapsychological study suggest that extrasensory perception (ESP) might exist, albeit as a small effect. Large-scale ESP experiments conducted ...
Microphysical particle parameters from extinction and backscatter lidar data by inversion with regularization: simulation
(1999-04-20)
A sensitivity study with an inversion scheme that permits one to retrieve physical parameters of tropospheric particle size distributions, e.g., effective radius, volume, surface-area, and number concentrations, as well ...
Microphysical particle parameters from extinction and backscatter lidar data by inversion with regularization: theory
(1999-04-20)
A method is proposed that permits one to retrieve physical parameters of tropospheric particle size distributions, e.g., effective radius, volume, surface-area, and number concentrations, as well as the mean complex ...
Association between mouse nude gene expression and the initiation of epithelial terminal differentiation
(1999-04-15)
Loss-of-function mutations in Whn (Hfh 11), a winged-helix/forkhead transcription factor, result in the nude mouse phenotype. To determine the whn expression pattern during development, we utilized mice in which a β- ...
