Received: ABSTRACT This paper presents an investigation of the polarisation behaviour of the AM Her system QQ Vul at several epochs over 3 years. There are changes of a factor of 2 in the amplitude of the orbitally phased circular polarisation from epoch to epoch. The mean behaviour can be modelled with an accretion arc ahead of and closer to the orbital plane than the magnetic pole, but it has proven di cult to link the changes in polarisations with changes in the location of the accretion region. The paper concludes with an investigation into whether the variations are periodic, but the evidence for this is marginal.

QQ Models: Joint Modeling for Quantitative and Qualitative Quality Responses in Manufacturing Systems

A manufacturing system with both quantitative and qualitative (QQ) quality responses (as a QQ system) is widely encountered in many cases. For example, in a lapping process of the semiconductor manufacturing, the quality of wafer’s geometrical characteristics is often measured by the total thickness variation as a quantitative response and the conformity of site total indicator reading as a bin...

No role of DT-diaphorase (NQO1) in the protection against oxidized quercetin.

Quercetin is one of the most studied alimentary antioxidants. During its antioxidant activity, quercetin becomes oxidized into its ortho-quinone/quinone methide, denoted as QQ. QQ is toxic since it is highly reactive towards thiols. DT-diaphorase (NQO1) might protect against QQ toxicity by reducing QQ to quercetin. However, conflicting data have been reported. The aim of the present study is to...

On the heavy-quark states interactions with nucleons and nuclei

601 The method of multipole expansion in QCD is used to calculate the scattering amplitudes of heavy-quark ( QQ)-states on hadrons. The amplitudes near threshold and the total cross sections for (QQ)hinteractions at different energies are calculated. It is pointed out that these cross sections are small at energies of (QQ)-system E < 50 GeV. This result has serious implications for the models, ...

High Prevalence of Quorum-Sensing and Quorum-Quenching Activity among Cultivable Bacteria and Metagenomic Sequences in the Mediterranean Sea

There is increasing evidence being accumulated regarding the importance of N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHL)-mediated quorum-sensing (QS) and quorum-quenching (QQ) processes in the marine environment, but in most cases, data has been obtained from specific microhabitats, and subsequently little is known regarding these activities in free-living marine bacteria. The QS and QQ activities among 605...
