Adenosine produces coronary vasodilation through activation of A-2a adenosine receptors. However adalso acts at A1 adenosine receptors to slow atrioventricular conduction and when injected into man ican be blocked with A1 receptor antagonists. DTI has synthesized a number of adenosine analogs that2a subtype of adenosine receptor and have identified WRC-0470 as a potent selective short acting corou ...

RESEARCHERS ARE DEVELOPING AND VALIDATING A MEASURE OF TEAM LEADERSHIP ABILITY. OVER THE PAST DECADE, MANY ORGANIZATIONS HAVE IMPLEMENTED INNOVATIVE WORK PRACTICES IN RESPONSE TO GROWING COMPETITION AND OTHER MODERN CHALLENGES IN THE MARKETPLACE. AMONG THESE INNOVATIVE PRACTICES IS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SELF-DIRECTED WORK TEAMS. TO REAP THE BENEFITS OF THIS PRACTICE, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT ORGANI ...

THERE IS CURRENTLY GREAT DEMAND FOR A MATERIAL WITH SUPERIOR MECHANICAL PROPERTIES THAT CAN BE MAINTAINED TO HIGH TEMPERATURES. SILICON NITRIDE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS ONE OF THE MOST PROMISING CERAMICS TO MEET THESE MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS. TO DATE, RESEARCH ON SI3N4 CERAMICS HAS RESULTED IN SUPERIOR ROOM TEMPERATURE PROPERTIES BUT RETENTION OF THESE PROPERTIES TO HIGH TEMPERATURES HAS NOT BEEN AC ...

THE RECENT AVAILABILITY OF THE CARBON ICOSOHEDRAL MOLECULES, THE FULLERENES, AND THE DISCOVERY OF SUPERCONDUCTIVITY IN ALKALI DOPED FULLERENE DERIVATIVES OPENS NEW AVENUES OF INVESTIGATION INTO SUPERCONDUCTING DEVICES. IN PARTICULAR, THE FULLERIDES ARE PREDICTED TO ACHIEVE HIGH PERFORMANCE AS SUPERCONDUCTING BOLOMETERS. MOST OF THE CURRENT SUPERCONDUCTING INFRARED SENSORS HAVE UTILIZED BOLOMETRI ...
