A double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, multicenter study was conducted to study the efficacy and safety of a single intravenous dose of sotalol (1.5 mg/kg over 10 minutes) in achieving normal sinus rhythm in paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) lasting ≥15 minutes. Patients were randomized to either sotalol or placebo as initial tr...

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a soil bacterium capable of transferring DNA (the T-DNA) to the genome of higher plants, where it is then stably integrated. Six T-DNA inserts and their corresponding preinsertion sites were cloned from Arabidopsis thaliana and analyzed. Two T-DNA integration events from Nicotiana tabacum were included in the analysis. ...
1 The influence of the selective DA1-agonist fenoldopam and the selective DA2-agonist quinpirole was investigated in the guinea-pig intact stomach model and in guinea-pig gastric corpus muscle strips. 2 In the intact stomach model, quinpirole induced a relaxation from 10(-6) M on. The relaxation by quinpirole (3 x 10(-5) M) was significantly inhibi...
Tetraglycidyl-4,4'-diaminodiphenyl methane based resin with 30 phr diaminodiphenyl sulfone as curing agent was toughened with poly(ether imide) (PEI). The effects of morphology on the fracture toughness of modified epoxy resins were investigated. Morphology was controlled by changing the curing conditions. The co-continuous structure and morphology...
The effects of local microstructure on fracture properties in powder-metallurgy (P/M)-processed 2124/SiC/15w and 2009/SiC/15w composites are analyzed in this study. Ductility and fracture toughness of the 2009/SiC/15w, in which dispersoid-forming elements such as manganese and iron were nearly absent, were greater than in the 2124/SiC/15w, while it...
In order to investigate the microstructural effect on the R-curve behavior in a polycrystalline alumina, an analytical model has been proposed based on the relationship between bridging stress and crack opening displacement. The crack opening displacement was measured using an in situ SEM fracture method, and then used for a fitting procedure to ob...
