Flowing partially penetrating well: a solution of a mixed-type boundary value problem. (1999)

Cassiani, G., Kabala, Z. J., Medina, M. A.

A new semi-analytic solution to the mixed-type boundary value problem for a flowing partially penetrating well with infinitesimal skin situated in an anisotropic aquifer is developed. The solution is...

The Effects of Organophosphorus Anticholinesterase Compounds on Brain Glucose and Energy Metabolism. (1998)

Medina,M. A., Miller,A. L.

The purpose of these experiments was to determine the effect of an organophosphorus cholinesterase inhibitor, paraoxon, on glucose utilization and the levels of intermediary metabolites in brain. The...

Modification and Validation of a Universal Thermodynamic Chiller Model Used to Evaluate the Performance of Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chillers (1998)

Figueroa, I. E., Cathey, M., Medina, M. A., Nutter, D. W.

This paper presents modifications made to the procedure used to develop a universal thermodynamic model of chillers (Gordon and Ng, 1995). The modifications were necessary to capture physical...

Economic Evaluation of Insulation/Radiant Barrier Systems for the State of Texas (1994)

Medina, M. A., Turner, W. D., O'Neal, D. L.

This paper presents simulated performance of insulation/radiant barrier systems under different Texas climates. A transient heat and mass transfer model which predicts thermal performance of...

Effect of Radiant Barrier Technology on Summer Attic Heat Load in South Texas (1994)

Ashley, R., Garcia, O., Medina, M. A., Turner, W. D.

The objective of the study was to experimentally evaluate the performance of radiant barriers in single-family occupied housing units in South Texas. Ceiling heat fluxes, attic air temperatures,...

Fast solution of the obstacle problem (1990)

Medina, M.A., Gonzalez, Roberto L.

Diamines interfere with the transport of L-ornithine in Ehrlich-cell plasma-membrane vesicles.

Medina, M A, Urdiales, J L, Mates, J M, Sánchez-Jiménez, F

1. L-Ornithine transport by plasma-membrane vesicles isolated from Ehrlich cells is Na(+)-independent and shows a saturable and a diffusional component. 2. Putrescine, histamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine...

Purification of phosphate-dependent glutaminase from isolated mitochondria of Ehrlich ascites-tumour cells.

Quesada, A R, Sanchez-Jimenez, F, Perez-Rodriguez, J, Marquez, J, Medina, M A
