Smokers who try to give up cigarettes can double their chances of success by using patches, gum, lozenges, inhalers or nasal sprays containing nicotine.
Women can take HRT in tablet form, by using patches stuck onto the skin, or administered using an oestrogen gel which is rubbed into the skin.
We addressed these objectives by using patches of well-defined artificial structures (bamboo canes) for which we could easily monitor the long-term sediment dynamics in the field, measure the hydrodynamic effects in detail in the flume, and simulate the field and flume set-up with a commercially available hydrodynamic model.
By using patches, gum or inhalers, a person gets their daily dose of nicotine while avoiding the myriad of toxic chemicals present in cigarette smoke.
By using patch-clamp experiments in the inside-out configuration and non-stationary noise analysis we estimated the single channel current without and with NFA (Fig. 3).
In our experiments, this increase in Ca2+ was mimicked by using patch-clamp electrodes filled with the EGTA-BAPTA solution designed to allow free Ca2+ to rise from ∼50 to ∼300 n m for a drop of pH from 7.2 to 6.7.
The other knee was treated with the eccentric training programme, but not by using patches.
Recordings were performed by whole-cell patch-clamping, using patch pipettes pulled from thick-walled borosilicate glass capillaries and filled with an internal solution containing (m m): 130 KCl, 4 NaCl, 10 HEPES, 10 EGTA, 2 MgATP, 0.5 NaGTP, 6 NADPH, pH adjusted to 7.2 with KOH.
Besides low and mislocalized expression of AMPA receptors we could not find evidence for ion channel functionality of GBM cells by lack of any depolarization using patch-clamp recordings and lack of growth inhibition after exposure to the AMPAR inhibitor NBQX.
Because a key driver of conflict is the pursuit of food by wildlife, we used patch selection models, a dynamic, state-dependent modeling approach based on foraging theory, to assess how benefit reduction and cost increase resulting from conflict mitigation affect wildlife foraging decisions.
We first created the Ras model by using our Patch Tool to select our core ERK patch (blue) along with the Ras (green), and SOS feedback (orange) patches and subsequently launched and simulated the model in Copasi.
