| observations on the m-wave and the cnv in the squirrel monkey. | a typical cnv paradigm, with food as reward, evokes in the squirrel monkey's post-arcuate and post-central cortices both m-waves in response to the cues and what appears to be a cnv in the interstimulus interval. both wave forms appear to be generated locally in cortex and to be more closely related temporally to the cues than to the animal's behavioral response. the cnv, like the m-wave, appears to reflect the animal's level of interest in obtaining the reward. it is smaller when the animal mis ... | 1979 | 85525 |

| powerline frequency electric and magnetic fields: a pilot study of risk perception. | the perception of the potential risk arising from human exposure to 50/60 hz electric and magnetic fields was studied with a quasi-random sample of 116 well-educated, opinion leaders using the risk perception framework previously developed by slovic, fischhoff, and lichtenstein. these individuals rated exposure to fields from transmission lines and electric blankets on a variety of scales that have been found useful in characterizing people's risk attitudes and perceptions. these judgments allow ... | 1985 | 3843677 |
| [ultrastructural organization of mycobacterium tuberculosis processed by cryogenic ultratomy]. | the ultrastructural organization of m. tuberculosis has been studied by the method of cryo-ultratomy. the cell-wall structures and the connective formations localized in the cytoplasm between parallel intracellular membranes have been revealed. ethylene glycol and polyvinyl alcohol have been shown to be the most suitable cryoprotecting agents. | 1985 | 3933224 |
| [effect of the culture medium composition on bacitracin synthesis and sporulation in bacillus lichenformis 28 ka]. | the effect of the culture medium composition on the bacitracin synthesis and sporulation in bacillus licheniformis 28 ka was being studied. during the producer's growth on a medium with tripton a biphasic pattern of the process was observed, i.e. a rapid growth of the bacterial biomass was accompanied by the production of insignificant amounts of the antibiotic. the maximum efficiency of the antibiotic synthesis coincides with the end of the exponential growth phase and the onset of sporificatio ... | 1986 | 3952068 |
| retinal ganglion cell loss produced by intraocular kainic acid in cats: variation with somal size and eccentricity. | eight eyes of adult cats were injected with different doses of kainic acid (ka) and examined following survival times of either 5 or 12 days. at a survival time of 12 days, a dose of 76 nmol produced an 18% loss of ganglion cells in the center of the area centralis (ac), 70% loss at a location 2 mm from the ac, and 95% loss at a location 6 mm from the ac. larger doses (240, 760 and 2400 nmol) produced losses comparable to that observed for 76 nmol. for example, 2400 nmol produced a 35% loss in t ... | 1985 | 4005551 |

| selective glycogen depletion in skeletal muscle fibres of man following sustained contractions. | 1. six healthy males performed sustained contractions with different tensions related to their maximal voluntary contraction (mvc). the isometric exercise consisted of efforts to extend the knee when flexed at an angle of 90 degrees .2. biopsy samples were taken from the lateral portion of m. quadriceps femoris before and after different periods (6-45 min) during a series of sustained contractions. total glycogen content was determined on each muscle sample. in order to evaluate whether the glyc ... | 1974 | 4278538 |

| deficiencies of chromatophore proteins in some mutants of rhodopseudomonas spheroides with altered carotenoids. | chromatophore proteins of a wild type and three mutant strains of rhodopseudomonas spheroides were examined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. the mutants consisted of a green and a blue-green one, whose phenotypes were essentially the same as those of known mutants, and a brown one, which may be a double mutant and represents a new phenotype. wild-type chromatophores contained at least six major and seven minor protein bands, with molecular weights ... | 1971 | 4323296 |
