They are referred to as the initial old. The number of them can be denoted as N 0 {\displaystyle N_{0}} . The size of the initial old generation is normalized to 1: N 0 0 = 1 {\displaystyle N_{0}^{0}=1} . | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overlapping_generations_model |
From there, Starling forces dictate the gradient for movement of water and Na+ into the peritubular capillaries. Because hydrostatic pressures in the tubules, interstitium and peritubular capillaries are normally equivalent, oncotic pressures govern flow. Typically, oncotic pressures are higher in the peritubular capil... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldosterone_escape |
As early as 1995, the City of Ogden appointed a committee to research the development of the DDHU. Much of this work was towards the conversion of the area into a commercial and industrial park. The Ogden Local Redevelopment Authority (OLRA) is charged with ensuring that the City of Ogden's DDOU Reuse Plan is properly ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Depot_Ogden |
On the fundamental side, Goodenough‘s research focused on magnetism and on the metal–insulator transition behavior in transition-metal oxides. Along with Junjiro Kanamori, Goodenough developed a set of semi-empirical rules to predict magnetism in these materials in the 1950s and 1960s, now called the Goodenough–Kanamor... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_B._Goodenough |
In 1980 Fujii et al. repeated Lin's 1978 setup with a mode-locked Nd:YAG. The peak power of the pulses was reported as being greater than 100 kW and they achieved better than 70% coupling efficiency into a 10 μm core single-mode Ge doped fibre. Unusually, they did not report their pulse duration. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercontinuum |
For example, the 1983 edition of the Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll includes the following passage: "Known for its aggressive blues-based hard-rock style, Aerosmith was the top American heavy-metal band of the mid-Seventies". "The term 'heavy metal' is self-defeating," remarked Kiss bassist Gene Simmons. "Wh... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal_music |
In Ireland, the origins of medical social work go back to paediatrician Ella Webb, the first physician in Ireland to appoint almoners to work in her dispensary for sick children that she established in the Adelaide Hospital in Dublin, and to Winifred Alcock, the first almoner appointed by Webb in 1918. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_social_worker |
In 1910, ammonia refrigeration was added to the Hall company refrigeration range. By the early 1920s J & E Hall had installed more than half of the world's marine cargo refrigeration, while on land it was regarded as a world leader, expanding into CO2, methyl chloride and the use of fluorocarbons. In 1931 it provided c... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J_&_E_Hall |

For example, regulation of ALR1 mRNA accumulation by Mg2+ supply was not observed, and the stability of the Alr1 protein was not reduced by exposure to excess Mg2+. The original observation of Mg-dependent accumulation of the Alr1 protein under steady-state low-Mg conditions was replicated, but this effect was shown to... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_transporter |
