Non-ACE Pathway-induced Angiotensin II Production

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2013
For the past century, the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been recognized as one of the major blood pressure-regulating systems. Angiotensin II (Ang II) is the final physiologically active product of RAS, and it works not only as a strong vasopressor but also as a promotor of tissue remodeling in various organs such as heart, arteries, and kidneys ...

Tutorial II: AC machines

2010
AC electrical machines can act as generators to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy or motors to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. This chapter discusses synchronous machines, and induction machines. Example problems with solutions as well as actual problems in AC machines were also provided in the end of this chapter.

ACE gene polymorphism and serum ACE activity in Iranians type II diabetic patients with macroalbuminuria

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2010
There are controversial results related to the contribution of insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism of the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) in the development of diabetic nephropathy. To assess the distribution of this polymorphism in diabetic patients with and without nephropathy we studied 140 unrelated type 2 diabetic patients from the ...

AC Oxley II cicer milkvetch

Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 2001
AC Oxley II cicer milkvetch (Astragalus cicer L.) was developed by the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre, Lethbridge, Alberta. This synthetic cultivar developed for improved seedling vigour and tested as LRC95-93-1 in Western Forage Tests established in 1996 outyielded Oxley, the check cultivar, by 19%.

The ac magnetic response in type-II superconductors

Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 1996
The ac response of type-II superconductors to an alternating magnetic field is numerically studied on the basis of the time-dependent Ginzburg - Landau equations. We examine the temperature dependence of the ac susceptibility associated with a small ac magnetic field in the absence of a bias dc field. It is shown that with increasing temperature the in-

Penetration of magnetic ac fields into type-II superconductors

Physical Review Letters, 1991
The complex ac penetration depth, surface impedance, and susceptibility are calculated for a superconducting half space and film containing a vortex lattice of arbitrary orientation with respect to the surface. Within linear response theory, full account is taken of the correct boundary conditions (image vortices), diffuse driving force and nonlocal ...

AC FLUCTUATION CONDUCTIVITY IN TYPE-II SUPERCONDUCTORS

Modern Physics Letters B, 2012
We use the time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau to calculate AC fluctuation conductivity in type-II superconductor in 2D model under magnetic field. Thermal fluctuations are assumed to be strong enough to melt the Abrikosov vortex lattice created by the magnetic field into a vibrating vortex liquid and marginalize the effects of the vortex pinning by ...

Ac Losses in Type-II Superconductors

1991
This paper discusses the physics of ac losses in type-II superconductors and in multifilamentary superconducting-normal composite conductors. As an introduction, the ac eddy-current losses in a homogeneous normal conducting cylindrical specimen subjected to an alternating applied magnetic field are briefly reviewed.

Inhibition of ACE/kininase-II, acute myocardial infarction, and survival

Cardiovascular Research, 1994
Three major trials, in patients with chronic heart failure, have shown that treatment with an ACE inhibitor reduces mortality. However, at the time of writing this review there continue to be strong grounds for uncertainty as to the role of these drugs after acute myocardial infarction in man.

AC Losses in a Slab of a Nonideal Type II Superconductor. II. Losses in a Small AC Magnetic Field of a Sinusoidal Wave Form

Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, 1978
The ac loss in a slab of a nonideal type II superconductor under an ac magnetic field of a trapezoid-like waveform with a small amplitude is discussed with the aid of the critical-state model including the ohmic current term. It is shown that the analytic expressions of the flux-distribution derived in this paper show excellent agreements with ...
