Blood flowing through the vascular beds of the dog forelimb, kidney, and heart was transiently rendered hypokalemic (1.9 meq/ liter), alkalotic (pH 7.54), hypercalcemic (6.4 to 13.5 meq/ liter), hypomagnesemic (1.2 meq/liter), and hypocalcemic (3.0 meq/liter), singly and in various combinations, while observing resistance to flow and heart contractility. This was accomplished by holding flow rate constant while measuring the effects of rapid intra-arterial infusion of various artificial solutions upon perfusion pressure and left ventricular contractile force. The new findings are a) in situ limb small vessels and kidney vessels respond to local hypokalemia with slight constriction; b) in situ limb small vessels and kidney vessels respond to combinations of local hypokalemia, hypercalcemia, alkalosis, and hypomagnesemia with much more marked constriction than occurs with any one of the abnormalities alone; c) intact heart responds to local hypercalcemia with increased contractile force, to alkalosis with increased coronary resistance, and to combinations of hypokalemia, hypercalcemia, alkalosis, and hypomagnesemia with increased contractile force and increased coronary resistance; and d) in situ limb small vessels and intact heart respond to local hypocalcemia with dilation and decreased contractile force, respectively.
Recent technological advances coupled with the collaboration between government and industry will soon make it possible to include IP routers and IP modems on board a commercial geostationary communications satellite. The Internet Protocol Routing in Space (IRIS) Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD) will introduce a new network capability that is aimed at enhancing military network-centric operations through information access, collaboration and dissemination.This paper describes the IRIS vision and strategy, and the specific goals ofthe JCTD. It describes the network architecture and technology development aspects for deploying a combined router and modem function as part of a hosted payload within a commercial transponded satellite.1-4244-151
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
