...suggest that elevated PRL may exert its antigonadal effects through reducing available ovarian LH receptors. We have now examined the influences of PRL on LH receptor induction in cultured granulosa cells. Basal specific LH binding was negligible and remained unchanged in response to treatment with PRL by itself. Whereas treatment with FSH produced, as expected, a substantial increase in specific LH binding, concurrent treatment with PRL resulted in no significant change during the first 4 days of culture, followed by a significant decrease in LH binding on days 5 and 6 as well as an approximately 50% inhibition of FSH effect on day 6. Scatchard plot analysis showed that concurrent treatment with PRL resulted in inhibition of the granulosa cell LH binding capacity, whereas no difference could be detected in the binding affinity of LH to its receptor. Treatment with 8-bromo-cAMP produced a significant increase in specific LH binding; concurrent treatment with PRL (30 ng/ml) produced a significant attenuation of 8-bromo-cAMP action. In addition, treatment with FSH increased the intracellular accumulation of cAMP, and concurrent treatment with PRL did not result in inhibition of the FSH action, as assessed by the generation of intracellular cAMP. Taken together, these findings suggest that the ability of PRL to interfere with FSH action with regard to the induction of LH receptors is exerted at sites distal to those involved in cAMP generation. The effect of PRL on LH receptor messenger...

...Technicalities Currently in Bangladesh, five mobile operators - GrameenPhone, Banglalink, AKTEL, Warid and Teletalk use the GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) technology and only CityCell uses the CDMAOne technology. GSM is a cellular network, which means that mobile phones connect to its network by searching for cells in the nearest surrounding area. GSM networks operate in four different frequency ranges namely 850/900/1800/1900 MHz. Most GSM networks operate in the 900/1800 MHz bands. Lets take a look at how the GSM network system works for 2G networks. The network can be divided into three sections. One is the Base Station Subsystem (BSS) which consists of Base Transceiver Station (BTS), Base Station Controller (BSC), and Packet Control Unit (PCU). The next section is Network Switching Subsystem (NSS) which consists of Mobile Switching Center (MSC), Home Location Register (HLR), Visitor Location Register (VLR), Authentication Center (AUC) and Equipment Identity Register (EIR). The last segment is the GPRS Core Network, which consists of Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) and Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN). All GSM operators more or less, have these common elements for its 2G/2.5G networks. Difference between 2G and 3G The basic difference between 2G and 3G networks is the Radio Network Controller (RNC), which works for 3G as the BSC of 2G, and the Node B, which works as the BTS. Compared to GSM, UMTS networks initially required a higher...

...Analysis and Review Questions 1. Compare the currents obtained from calculation and simulation. Comment on the findings of the values. | Calculation | Simulation using Multisim | Simulation using Pspice | Current when RL = 50 ohms | 2.994 < 69.91 A | 2.994 A | 4.273 A | Current when RL = 200 ohms | 2.306 < 47.92 A | 2.306 A | 3.277 A | Table above show the results of current obtained from the experiment and simulation. There is a different result between simulation using pspice and simulation using multisim and calculation.From calculation, the value of current used in the calculation and multisim is rms current while value of current used in pspice simulation is peak current.The value of rms current if converted to peak current have to multiply by 2 . Current when RL = 50Ω from calculation if multiply by 2 will get 4.234 A which is almost the same with Pspice simulation. Same goes when RL = 200, from calculation 2.306 x 2 = 3.261 A, which give the value almost the same with current from Pspice simulation. In calculation method, the value of current through RL is obtained using the Norton’s theorem. Each RL is calculated using the equivalent Norton’s circuit. Norton theorem is used to simplify the circuit to make the calculation easier. Below show the equivalent circuit using Norton theorem to obtain the current through RL.

...Telecoms get $127m FDI in July-May KARACHI: The telecom sector attracted foreign direct investment (FDI) of $81.9 million against a disinvestment of $184.9m in the corresponding period last year, said a State Bank’s recently issued report. The improvement came on the back of rise in the number of subscribers to 3G/4G services, from 1.9m in July 2014 to 7.7m in December. The situation further improved as the FDI in the sector rose to $126.9m during the first 11 months (July-May) of 2014-15. “The cellular service providers have started rolling out a range of new products to their customers following the spectrum auction of 3G/4G licences in April 2014,” the report observed. This also includes existing customers who have converted to packages offering high speed data usage, said the report, adding that at the same time the launch of 3G/4G services is also supporting the broadband services in the country. Firms have been investing in upgrading their systems and network, which is reflected in an increase in foreign direct investment and a surge in telecom imports, said the report. In addition, telecom imports during in the first half of FY15 grew by 21.3 per cent against a decline of 27.5pc in the corresponding period of FY14. The government provided some relief in the budget 2015-16 by reducing the advance income tax on telecom services from the 15pc to 14pc and cutting GST/FED from 19.5pc to 18.5pc. “The ICC World Cup 2015 could boost revenues of telecom operators as they have offered...

...regulation by the hypothalamus (8). In a study by Soares, Lima, Coimbra, and Marubayashi (27), they found that increased central TRP availability reduced mechanical efficiency in rats, which lead to an increase in their heat storage and a reduction in their time to fatigue. Since it is not a possibility to directly measure the actions of human neurotransmitters, researchers are able to measure the concentrations of certain pituitary hormones such as growth hormone and prolactin (PRL). 5-HT as well as dopamine are regulators of the secretion of these hormones (17). Increases in plasma concentrations of PRL were found in subjects performing prolonged exercise in a hot environment, but not in a temperate environment (25). This shows that there is an increased serotonergic activity in response to increased core temperature due to a warmer external environment, which would explain why subjects exercising in hot environments experience fatigue quicker than in temperate environments. Increases in concentrations of 5-HT and PRL were also observed after incremental increases in interval exercise to fatigue, both in temperate and hot environments (25). There was an inverse correlation between the increase in 5-HT and exercise performance in the warm environment, which demonstrates the role of 5-HT in quickening the fatigue process, especially in hot environments (28). TRP levels that are increased by exercise have been seen to occur simultaneously with an increase in 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid concentration...

The nutrient increase is about 10 – 30%. 4) The glomerular filtration rate increases because of the amount of the metabolic waste that is put out by the fetus. This causes the mother to urinate more and this increase is around 50% because of all of the pressure on her bladder. 5) The uterus also is changing in size during this gestation because of the growing fetus that it has to support. 6) Mammary glands begin a change also. These glands need a mixture of hormones to develop and this mixture includes the following: a. Human prolactin b. Placental prolactin( given off by the placenta) c. PRL d. Estrogen e. Progesterone f.

Deci, E., Koestner, R. & Ryan, R.M. (1999) had said that motivation is generally linked to reward, and it is widely recognized that reward management is central to the regulation of the employment relationship. The reward system varies from organization to organization, and comes in various and concrete forms, including monetary or non-monetary, tangible or intangible, and physical or psychological, and these are offered to the employees as compensation for the productive work they execute. According to Jean Christofferson and Bob King (WorldatWork-2006), an effective reward system can serve the strategic purposes of attracting, motivating, and retaining employees to achieve organizational goals. A formalized corporate reward system is necessary because it appeals to capable and skilled employees to fill the available positions in a specific organization. Additionally, such method helps retain employees in the organization, hence maintaining a stable workforce with an acceptable turnover rate. Lastly, an efficient reward system also motivates...

...in women and the testes in men. It stimulates the ovaries to produce an ovum (egg) for fertilization, and it also causes an increase in the hormone estrogen. For men, it stimulates the testes to produce sperm. The growth hormone (GH) targets many different cells of the body. The most well-known effect in children is to increase height. In adults and children, it helps to control the amount of muscle and fat in the body. It also helps to heal injuries and it promotes the immune system. The luteinizing hormone (LH) targets the ovaries in women and the testes in men. For women, it triggers ovulation, and stimulates ovarian production of estrogen and progesterone. For men, it stimulates cells in the testes to produce testosterone. Prolactin (PRL) targets the breasts. Together with other hormones, prolactin stimulates the breasts to produce milk. It promotes lactation. The thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) targets the...
