Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacological sensitivity of the articular capsule of the primary spines of Eucidaris tribuloides.

TL;DR: While ACh induced only a slight desensitization, CCh caused a long-lasting blockade of the stiffening effects of the cholinergic agonists, showing that the receptors for ACh have a site or sites that recognize the ester moieties of these molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neck formation and role of particle-particle contact area in the thermal conductivity of green and partially sintered alumina ceramics

TL;DR: In this paper, a simplified model was developed to describe the effects of pore fraction, average grain size and the contact area between particles due to neck formation on the thermal conductivity of the green or partially sintered ceramic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism of the excitation-contraction uncoupling of frog skeletal muscle by formamide

TL;DR: It is concluded that the resulting alterations in the triad structure and function are re sponsible for the irreversibility of the FMD uncoupling action in these muscles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of Thermophysical Characteristics in Tin Oxide: From Pressed Powder Compact to Fired Porous Body

TL;DR: The thermal response of a ceramic body during firing will be controlled by its thermophysical characteristics, such as grain boundary formation and neck growth, which increase the contact area between particles as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Actin-myosin interaction: the role of myosin in determining the actin pattern in self-assembled hybrid contractile units

TL;DR: Self-assembly of actin-myosin filamentous complexes was assayed by polymerizing rabbit G-ADP actin on formed filaments of lobster myosin and the results show that the pattern and mode ofActin complexing is determined by the specific myosIn and the arrangement of the cross-bridges on the organized filament.
