Progesterone was one of the first nuclear receptor hormones for which the functional role had been elucidated and used as a drug target. It plays an important role in female reproduction, controlling ovulation and maintaining pregnancy as well as in the growth and differentiation of endometrial and myometrial cells in the uterus.

Non-steroids - Interest in non-steroidal agents for reproduction control appears to be increasing. Several tetrahydronaphthalene derivatives of basic structure 11 have potent estrogenic and anti fertility activity. ... 

If improvements should be achieved by an automation of the inspection process this requires a control of the process parameters of the whole equipment by an integrated "intelligent" system and not by displays still being controlled by the human inspector. This integrated control-system ensures that the inspection conditions are at the highest reproduction level.

If the substitute fuel is of the same general type, eg, propane for methane, the problem reduces to control of the primary equivalence ratio. For nonaspiring burners, ie, those in which the air and fuel suppHes are essentially independent, it is further reduced to control of the fuel dow, since the air dow usually constitutes most of the mass dow and this is fixed. For a given fuel supply pressure and fixed dow resistance of the feed system, the volume dow rate of the fuel is inversely proportional to. ypJ. The same total heat input rate or enthalpy dow to the dame simply requires satisfactory reproduction of the product of the lower heating value of the fuel and its dow rate, so that WI = l- / remains the same. WI is the Wobbe Index of the fuel gas, and...

Copyrights afford in most cases an exclusive right to control distribution, reproduction, adaptation, pubHc performance, and pubHc display of Hterary or artistic works. They arise automatically upon creation of an eligible work, but the exercise of such rights is governed exclusively by federal statute. 

Finally, a new class of antispermatogenic agents containing the same fundamental structure cited above has been described (76JMC778). 1-Halobenzyl-l J/-indazole-3-carboxylic acids are potentially useful for birth control, and because they act after a single administration they are of interest for the physiological study of the male reproductive system. 

Another section of the EPA, the Office of Prevention, Pesticides, and Toxic Substances (OPPT), has recently updated and harmonized its testing guidelines for evaluating the developmental and reproductive effects of pesticides and industrial chemicals to include an assessment of endocrine disrupting properties. These guidelines will be used in future testing of pesticides under both the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
