Nonparametric identification of nonlinearities in block-oriented systems by orthogonal wavelets with compact support
(2005-02-28)
The paper addresses the problem of identification of nonlinear characteristics in a certain class of discrete-time block-oriented systems. The systems are driven by random stationary white processes (independent and ...
Nitric oxide inhibits norepinephrine-induced hepatic vascular responses but potentiates hepatic glucose output
(2000-01-31)
We previously reported that sympathetic nerve-induced vasoconstriction in the intestine resulted in shear stress induced release of nitric oxide (NO) that led to presynaptic inhibition of transmitter release. In contrast, ...
Single-fiber isolation and maintenance of satellite cell quiescence
(2005-10-31)
The activity of satellite cells during myogenesis, development, or skeletal muscle regeneration is strongly modelled using cultures of single muscle fibers. However, there are variations in reported features of gene or ...
Shoot morphology and fate of buds in relation to crown location in young Fraxinus pennsylvanica var. subintegerrima
(2002-12-31)
The relationships between shoot size and morphological patterns and crown location were investigated in 6-year-old green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica var. subintegerrima (Vahl) Fern.). In general, shoots were shorter in the ...
The 2003 R.M. Hardy lecture: Soil parameters for numerical analysis in clay
(2006-02-01)
Engineers in geotechnical practice work on increasingly complex problems with increasingly powerful numerical tools. Effective solutions to design problems need good information about the site and parameters (or functions) ...
Tests of two functions of alarm calls given by yellow warblers during nest defence
(2003-10-31)
During nest defence, yellow warblers (Dendroica petechia) give "seet" and "chip" calls. Seet calls are given preferentially toward brood parasitic brown-headed cowbirds (Molothrus ater) during the yellow warblers' egg-laying ...
On the phylogeny of members of Ceratocystis s.s. and Ophiostoma that possess different anamorphic states, with emphasis on the anamorph genus Leptographium, based on partial ribosomal DNA sequences
(2000-07-31)
Phylogenetic analysis of partial ribosomal DNA sequences was undertaken to assess the phylogenetic distribution of ophiostomatoid anamorphs with an emphasis on members of Leptographium and the generic limits of Ceratocystis ...
Phylogenetic analysis of the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene of the hyphochytrid Rhizidiomyces apophysatus
(2000-01-31)
The potential relationship of the uniflagellate hyphochytrids with biflagellate stramenopiles is still not clearly resolved. Thus, we have expanded the number of isolates and taxa of hyphochytrids compared. The phylogenetic ...
Restoration and structural health monitoring of Manitoba's Golden Boy
(2003-12-31)
Although bridges were among the first civil engineering structures to use structural health monitoring (SHM) technologies, research is now expanding to explore other types of applications, including Manitoba's famous Golden ...
Hormonal manipulations of growth rate and its influence on predator avoidance - foraging trade-offs
(2000-01-31)
Theoretical investigations into the impact that predators exert on prey species suggest that two parameters, growth rate and mortality rate, should be the most influential in determining when animals should risk exposure ...
