Transient bodies

Lake Baikal is one of the oldest freshwater lakes and has constituted a stable environment for millions of years, in stark contrast to small, transient bodies of water in its immediate vicinity. A highly diverse endemic endemic amphipod fauna is found in one, but not the other habitat. We ask here whether differences in stress response can explain the immiscibility barrier between Lake Baikal and non-Baikal faunas.

Journalists are often ill equipped to meet the information needs of special populations during health-related emergencies. They also may not see it as their job or role to communicate directly with these audiences. Special populations include elderly people, disabled people, homeless people, housebound populations, racial and cultural minorities, linguistic minorities, illiterate populations, transient populations (for example, tourists, business travellers and migrant workers) and institutionalized populations.

Recently, we reported that the transient expression of huntingtin exon1 polypeptide containing polyglutamine tracts of various sizes (httEx1-polyQ) in cell models of Huntington disease generated an oxidative stress whose intensity was CAG repeat expansion-dependent.

A truly noninvasive medical measurement is any measurement system that does not physically breach the skin or enter the body deeply through an external orifice. Thus, the measurement of body temperature with a thermometer in the mouth, rectum, or ear canal is considered noninvasive, as is the use of an otoscope to examine the outer surface of the eardrum. Similarly, the opthalmoscope and the slit lamp, which shine light in the eyes to examine the retina and the cornea and lens, respectively, are considered noninvasive procedures....

This Report addresses in considerable detail the consequences of hot particles on and near the skin, in the eye, ear, respiratory system, and gastrointestinal tract. Limits for exposures from hot particles are recommended. If exposures are maintained below the recommended limits, few, if any, deterministic biological effects are expected to be observed, and those effects would be transient in nature. If effects from a hot-particle exposure are observed, the result is an easily treated medical condition involving an extraordinarily small stochastic risk.

Movement of K+ into cells may transiently decrease the plasma [K+] without altering total body K+ content. These shifts can result from alkalemia, insulin, and catecholamine release, periodic paralysis

4.35 and 4.36, respectively. Shown in Fig. 4.39, the impulses of the two vehicles between 0 to 20 ms are mainly due to the stiff front rail design and damping of the body mount. They are not considered the decelerations of the main body of the truck. It will be shown in Chapter 5 that the impulsive transient responses at the beginning of the crush are mainly controlled by the damping characteristics of the body mounts, positioned between the compartment (or cab) and frame. The steady state compartment responses, where the peak body deceleration occurs, are attributed mainly to and...
