In vascular smooth muscle, KCNQ channel modulators have been used to demonstrate that KCNQ currents are present in murine portal vein (Ohya et al., 2003; Yeung and Greenwood, 2005; Yeung et al., 2007), rat pulmonary artery (Joshi et al., 2006), rat stomach (Ohya et al., 2002) and rat mesenteric artery (Mackie et al., 2008) in addition to myometrial smooth muscle (McCallum et al., 2009).
Many natural products with biological activities are benzofuran heterocycles (Nevagi et al. 2015; Yeung 2012).
In [13], Yeung and Mintzer proposed an authentication watermark that uses a pseudorandom sequence and a modified error diffusion method to protect the integrity of the images.
However, as quality management standards are increasingly institutionalized, their effectiveness to facilitate sales performance and international trade also deteriorates and becomes questionable (Staw and Epstein 2000; Yeung et al. 2011).
The mutual information in three dimensions (which is specified in the Appendix) follows analytically from Shannon's (1948) information theory (e.g., McGill 1954; Abramson 1963, at p. 129; Yeung 2008, at pp. 59f).
This scale is accepted as a valid method for measuring cognitive load (Kalyuga et al. 1998, 2000; Paas and Van Merrienboer 1994; Van Merriënboer et al. 2002; Yeung et al. 1997).
Previous studies on cross-linguistic transfer between Chinese and English show large variation both in the specific linguistic domains examined and in results (e.g., Gottardo et al., 2001; Pasquarella et al., 2011; Wang, Cheng & Chen, 2005; Yeung & Ganotice, 2014; Zhang & Koda, 2014).
Several studies have reported the effectiveness of bicycle helmets in reducing the risk of head, brain, and severe brain injury by 63 to 88%% (Thompson et al. 2000; American Academy of Pediatrics & Committee on Injury and Poison Prevention 2001; Mattei et al. 2012; Yeung et al. 2009) and facial trauma by 65%% (Thompson et al. 2000).
The linguistic dynamics between the two languages have motivated researchers to examine their relationship because transfer plays an important role in second language acquisition (e.g., Bialystok et al., 2005; Tong & McBride-Chang, 2010; Wang et al., 2009; Zhang et al., 2012; Yeung and Ganotice, 2014).
Quality management standards provide fundamental guidelines for firms to follow, which allows firms to constantly learn and enhance their standards, and helps them increase their internal efficiency as they work to meet the demands of buyers (Corbett et al. 2005; Yeung et al. 2011).
