abomasal ulcer is a digestive disorder in domestic ruminants. there are several forms of ulcers which produce different clinical signs. for determination of lesion prevalence, abomasa of 200 buffaloes were examined grossly and in some cases, histopathologically. one hundred and twenty seven examined abomasa (63.5%) had ulcerative lesions. all ulcers (except in 2 cases) were classified as type 1...

The cytoplasmic domains of integrins provide attachment of these extracellular matrix receptors to the cytoskeleton and play a critical role in integrin-mediated signal transduction. In this report we describe the identification, expression, localization, and initial functional characterization of a novel form of beta 1 integrin, termed beta 1D. This isoform contains a unique alternatively spli...

We have investigated one and two dimensional (1D and 2D) arrays of tunnel junctions in partial Coulomb blockade regime. The absolute accuracy of the Coulomb blockade thermometer is influenced by the external impedance of the array, which is not the same in the different topologies of 1D and 2D arrays. We demonstrate, both by experiment and by theoretical calculations in simple geometries, that ...

We consider three connected resource-constrained optimization problems: 1D bin packing (BPP), resource-constrained project scheduling (PSP), and 2D strip packing without rotation (SPP). In the context of SPP, BPP is also known as the 1D bar relaxation and PSP as the 1D contiguous relaxation. It is easy to see that SPP can be relaxed in two different ways down to a PSP: horizontal and vertical s...

lithium is a drug used for the treatment of bipolar disorder. it has several mechanisms of action, and recently it is shown that lithium can antagonize the 5-ht1b/1d serotonin receptors. sumatriptan is a 5-ht1b/1d receptor agonist used for the treatment of cluster headaches and migraine which might cause memory impairment as a potential side effect. in this study, effects of lithium on sumatrip...

Large area synthesis of 1D-MoSe2 nanoribbons on both insulating and conducting substrates via molecular beam epitaxy is presented. Dimensional controlled growth of 2D, 1D-MoSe2 , and 1D-2D-MoSe2 hybrid heterostructure is achieved by tuning the growth temperature or Mo:Se precursor ratio.

over the past three decades helicopter-borne electromagnetic (hem) measurements have been used to reveal the resistivity distribution of the earth's subsurface for a variety of applications. hem systems include a “bird” or sensor containing one or more pairs of transmitting and receiving coils. the separation between the rigidly mounted transmitting and receiving coils of a coil-pair typic...

Zirconium trisulphide (ZrS3), a member of the layered transition metal trichalcogenides (TMTCs) family, has been studied by angle-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy (ARPLS). The synthesized ZrS3 layers possess a pseudo one-dimensional nature where each layer consists of ZrS3 chains extending along the b-lattice direction. Our results show that the optical properties of few-layered ZrS3 are...
