Earlier we reported, in this journal, that the pits generated in CR-39 detectors during Pd/D co-deposition experiments are consistent with those observed for pits that are of a nuclear origin. Recently, that interpretation has been challenged. In this communication, additional experimental data and further analysis of our earlier results are provided that support our original conclusions. PACS....

The present study answers the question on how the human body changes in two successive decades after its final height had been reached. One hundred and three individuals (56 males and 47 females) who were followed up longitudinally by a team of scientists from birth to 18 years of age were investigated anthropometrically by 18 body measurements again when they reached the age of between 35 and ...

OBJECTIVE The primary objective of this study was to verify whether breast cancer patients aged <35 at diagnosis have poorer prognoses than those aged 35-39, in other words, to identify the prognostic value of age in younger premenopausal patients under 40 years old. The secondary objective was to assess prognostic factors specific for younger premenopausal patients. METHODS We identified 242...

The silver-leaf nightshade nenmtode, Nothanguina phyllobia, is a promising biological control agent for its only reported host, Solanum elaeagnifolium Cav. When infective larvae of N. phyllobia and stem tissue of 39 econmnically important plant species were suspended in 0.5% water agar, nematodes aggregated about S. elaeagnifolium, Solanum carolinense L., Solanum melongena L., Solanum tuberosum...

The use of porous materials to store natural gas in vehicles requires large amounts of methane per unit of volume. Here we report the synthesis, crystal structure and methane adsorption properties of two new aluminum metal-organic frameworks, MOF-519 and MOF-520. Both materials exhibit permanent porosity and high methane volumetric storage capacity: MOF-519 has a volumetric capacity of 200 and ...

2014 This paper reports the four-photon ionization of caesium atoms when the laser frequency is tuned through the resonant three-photon transition 6S ~ 6F. This experiment was performed by using a tunable-wavelength bandwidth-limited subnanosecond laser pulse at 1.06 03BCm, in the 108-109 W.cm-2 laser intensity range. Pulse widths of 1.5 ns, 50 ps, and 15 ps were used. The resonant character of...

Lowered extracellular [Ca2+] cause low growth rates and low stationary cell densities in 3T3 cell cultures as compared to physiological [Ca2%]. Under otherwise constant conditions the extracellular [Ca2+] determines a stable stationary cell density, which can be reached by increase of net cell number or decrease of net cell number, depending on cell density at the time of [Ca2+] adjustment. SV4...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the effect of ageing on the light intensity of quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH) polymerization units in dental schools and dental clinics. MATERIALS & METHODS Two dental schools and multiple public health dental clinics were visited and the light intensity of curing units was assessed. The age, make, model and service history were recorded. A cal...
