HUMAN UMBILICAL CORD EXPRESSES SEVERAL VASOACTIVE PEPTIDES INVOLVED IN THE LOCAL REGULATION OF VASCULAR TONE: PROTEIN AND GENE EXPRESSION OF ORPHANIN, OXYTOCIN, ANP, ENOS AND INOS

Human umbilical cord expresses several vasoactive peptides involved in the local regulation of vascular tone: protein and gene expression of Orphanin, Oxytocin, ANP, eNOS and iNOS

Full-term human umbilical cord contains three blood vessels: two arteries coiled around a vein and surrounded by Wharton’s jelly, a mucous tissue with few mesenchymal stromal cells and abundant extracellular matrix.Umbilical vessels lack innervations, thus endothelial cells must play a role in the control of blood flow.The aim of this stu

Impact of Controller Performance on the Process of Guiding an Armour-Piercing Missile onto a Ground-Based Target

This work presents an analysis of guiding an anti-tank missile (ATGM) onto a ground-based target.The concept presented here is the feasibility of bypassing obstacles in the path of an ATGM when the obstacle coordinates are known prior to firing the ATGM weapon.The 3m speedglas 9002nc ATGM contemplated here uses a homing algorithm to calculate the s
