Heart Rate Response during Treadmill Running in Adidas _1 DLX Computerized Running Shoes at Various Shoe Settings
(2009-04-28)BACKGROUND: Runners encounter a wide variety of terrains of varying hardness which can be modified by midsole cushioning. Cushioned shoes are recommended for athletes to decrease impact forces. The adidas_1 DLXTM shoe is ... -
Hierarchical routing using k-SPR
(2007-05-31)The goal of our research is to create an improved routing protocol for Ad-Hoc Wireless networking. We began our research by studying a protocol developed by two Drake students, Tiffany Meredith and Jennifer Ehrlich, which ... -
HPG function in men and women stratified by drug use and HIV status
(2007-05-29)Most studies of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) function and depression in illicit drug users focus only on men or do not consider the impact of HIV infection along with drug use. This study investigated relationships ... -
HPLC with Fluorometric Detection of Brain Catecholamines in a Pharmacodynamic Study Between Two Popular Antidepressants
(2010-04-21)Drug-drug interactions are a serious concern in US health care today, accounting for over 100,000 deaths annually. Bupropion (Wellbutrin®) is a well-established monocyclic antidepressant that is also used in the treatment ... -
HPLC-UV Analysis of Bupropion and Hydroxybupropion : Application to In Vivo Pharmacokinetic Drug-Drug Interaction Studies Between Bupropion and Potent CYP2B6 Inhibitors
(2010-04-28)Bupropion is a popular antidepressant that is also prescribed in the management of smoking cessation. In humans, bupropion is predominantly metabolized to its active metabolite hydroxybupropion by CYP2B6. Inhibitors of ... -
HST Long Slit Spectroscopy of NGC 1068 and NGC 4151
(2009-04-22)NGC 1068 annd NGC 4151 are Seyfert Galaxies, the most common type of active galaxy, in which a luminous nucleus is powered by accretion onto a massive black hole at its center. Seyfert galaxies are known to exhibit high ... -
Hubble space telescope imaging of seyfert galaxies
(2007-06-01)Recent searches for massive black holes in galactic nuclei show that they are common if not ubiquitous. Furthermore, there are important relationships between black hole mass and properties characterizing the size and ... -
The Hydrogen Molecular Ion in an Intense Elliptically Polarized Laser Pulse
(2012-04-23)We investigate how the simplest molecular ion, Dihydrogen (H2 +), reacts when exposed to an intense ultrashort laser pulse. We use a computer code written in parallel FORTRAN, which is run on a Drake-owned cluster. The ... -
"Identification of yeast genes important for chromosome transmission"
(2006-05-05)Accurate transmission of chromosomes during cell division requires that chromosomes are fully replicated and free of damage prior to cell division. Furthermore, cellular processes that separate chromosomes must be functional. ... -
Identifying Human Host Proteins That Interact With Influenza A Polymerase Proteins Using The Yeast Two-Hybrid System
(2013-04-16)Influenza viruses are enveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses which cause 250,000 to 500,000 deaths per year. Understanding how influenza A viral proteins interact with human proteins is essential for identifying factors ... -
Impairment of Figure-Ground and Shape Discrimination After Lesion of Nucleus Subpretectalis in Pigeons
(2012-04-09)Our earlier research has shown that nucleus rotundus, a thalamic nucleus processing visual information in pigeons, together with its inhibitory complex, is differentially activated in birds performing figure-ground ... -
"Implementation of a genetic screen to elucidate proteins important for chromosome transmission"
(2006-06-07)The process of cell division is highly regulated in eukaryotic cells. Failure to transmit chromosomes accurately during cell division can result in cell death or abnormal growth (e.g., tumors). Proteins that associate in ... -
Implicit Relational Learning in a Multiple-Object Tracking Task
(2012-04-10)We used multiple-object tracking task to examine whether contextual information presented in a background can facilitate tracking accuracy. College students were instructed to track either two or four out of eight objects ... -
Implicit Relational Learning In Multiple-Object Tracking Task: Do People Really Track Objects?
(2013-04-12)Earlier, we showed that multiple-object tracking task can be used to examine explicit relational learning. In this task, participants were instructed to track four out of eight objects and report at the end of the trial ... -
In Vitro Characterization of Resveratrol-Loaded Pluronic Micelles
(2010-04-21)Resveratrol (RES), a polyphenol has shown various biological activities but its use is hindered due to its hydrophobicity and short biological half-life. Biological studies require mega or frequent doses of RES to be ... -
Inability to easily predict individual deaths in a hemorrhage and resuscitation model
(2007-05-31)While working on a hemorrhage with low-pressure stabilization protocol, we examined the possibility of identifying individual animals’ short term outcomes prior to occurrence using the hemorrhage patterns of variables ... -
"Indole derivatives interact with DOPC in Langmuir monolayers"
(2005-06-28)Molecular interactions between indole derivatives and 1,2-di-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) were studied using a Nima Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) trough. A 0.25 M phosphate buffer sub-phase was used with a physiological ... -
Influence of Exogenous PlGF on Apoptosis in the H9c2 Cardiomyoblast Cell Line
(2010-04-28)Placenta growth factor (PlGF) is known to inhibit apoptosis in cells such as trophoblast or endothelial cells. Although PlGF is expressed in heart tissue in vivo and in vitro, little is known about its antiapoptotic effects ... -
Inhibition of drug efflux by pluronics in S. cerevisiae
(2007-05-31)Overexpression of P-gp efflux pumps is believed to be responsible for multidrug resistance of mammalian cancer cells. Inhibition of these pumps is expected to increase the efficacy and decrease the toxicity of chemotherapeutic ... -
Interactions of Miltefosine and Phospholipid DPPC at the Air/Water Interface
(2009-04-20)Several Langmuir monolayer studies have suggested that the drug Hexadecylphosphocholine (miltefosine) has a mode of action which is directly related to the cell membrane. Because the exact mode of action still unknown, ...
