We analysed RXTE data of Sco X-1 which show kHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) and the ∼6–8 Hz normal-branch oscillation (NBO) simultaneously. Using power spectra of 0.03–0.5 s data segments, we find that both the upper kHz QPO frequency ν2 and the ratio of lower to upper kHz QPO amplitude are anticorrelated to variations in the X-ray count-rate taking place on the NBO time scale. The frequ...

OBJECTIVE To examine weight change trajectories among overweight and obese patients with binge eating disorder (BED) versus without (NBO) during the year prior to seeking treatment. METHODS Participants were 97 (75 women, 22 men) overweight and obese patients recruited for the same weight-loss treatment in primary care; 26 (27%) met DSM-5 BED criteria. Participants were assessed with the Eati...

the effect of vanillin on the corrosion behavior of aa6061 al alloy in 3.5% nacl solution wasinvestigated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical noise (en) techniques. vanillinoffers interesting possibilities for corrosion inhibition due to its nontoxicity and high solubility inaqueous media. the best inhibition effect at 200 ppm vanillin was a marked characteristic of theinhibi...

in this research at the first metoprolol drug and its fullerene derivative were optimized. natural bond orbital (nbo), nuclear indepndent chemical shift (nics) and finally ir calculations, for these compounds were carried out at the b3lyp/6-31g* quantum chemistry level. different parameters such as energy levels, the amount of chemical shift in different atoms, the amount of homo/lumo, chemical...

Effect of in-water oxygen prebreathing at different depths on decompression-induced bubble formation and platelet activation in scuba divers was evaluated. Six volunteers participated in four diving protocols, with 2 wk of recovery between dives. On dive 1, before diving, all divers breathed normally for 20 min at the surface of the sea (Air). On dive 2, before diving, all divers breathed 100% ...

Normobaric hyperoxia (NBO) has been shown to be neuro- and vaso-protective during ischemic stroke. However, the underlying mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated. Activation of NADPH oxidase critically contributes to ischemic brain damage via increase in ROS production. We herein tested the hypothesis that NBO protects the blood-brain barrier (BBB) via inhibiting gp91phox (or called Nox2) con...

The structural aspects of xCs2O-(1-x)B2O3 glasses have been investigated by molecular dynamics as functions of Cs2O content (x=0.2, 0.3, and 0.4) and temperature (T=300 and 1250 K). The tetrahedral (BØ4-) and triangular (BØ3,BØ2O-, and BØO2 (2-)) short-range order borate units were found to be the structure-building entities of the simulated glasses [Ø=bridging oxygen (BO) and O-=nonbridging ox...

The presence of a salvageable penumbra, a region of ischemic brain tissue with sufficient energy for short-term survival, has been widely agreed as the premise for thrombolytic therapy with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), which remains the only United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved treatment for acute ischemia stroke. However, the use of tPA has been profoundly constrain...
