We investigated the magnetoelastic properties of quasi-one-dimensional spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ frustrated magnet ${\mathrm{LiCuVO}}_{4}$. Longitudinal-magnetostriction experiments were performed at 1.5 K in high magnetic fields up to 60 T applied along $b$ axis, i.e., spin-chain direction. The magnetostriction data qualitatively resemble magnetization results, and saturate ${H}_{\text{sat}}\ensurema...

on the use of omalizumab in idiopathic angioedema. 2 We published 3 earlier case reports on the efficacy of omalizumab in intractable chronic urticaria. 3 We reported on 3 patients with refractory chronic urticaria who had marked improvement with omalizumab. Two of the patients showed evidence of increased anti-FceRI antibody levels, and 1 did not. We postulated that the possible mechanisms inc...

We propose a single particle boson mechanism of High Tc Superconductivity (HTCS) and pseudogap regime. Bosons appear in it due to the coupling of spins of the two-dimensional (2D) fermions with statistical magnetic field induced by anyon vector potential. The ground state of 2D gas is pure bosonic if gas is not dense. At the dense limit of gas the interaction of effective (coupled with the stat...

The concept of super line graph was introduced in the year 1995 by Bagga, Beineke and Varma. Given a graph with at least r edges, the super line graph of index r, Lr(G), has as its vertices the sets of r-edges of G, with two adjacent if there is an edge in one set adjacent to an edge in the other set. The line completion number lc(G) of a graph G is the least positive integer r for which Lr(G) ...

voriconazole is the first-line therapy for invasive aspergillosis. nevertheless, mortality remains high due to different factors. although azoles are very active in vitro against aspergillus fumigatus, several studies have reported azole-resistant a. fumigatus isolates in european countries, asia, and the united states. therefore, new approaches are needed. the aim of the present study was to e...

objective: a number of studies have demonstrated the potential antitumor effects of saffron and its constituents on different malignant cells in vitro. it has been reported that a novel glycoconjugate isolated from corms and callus of saffron possesses cytotoxic activity against different tumor cellswith nitric oxide (no) production. these data suggest that the cytotoxic effect of saffron extra...

background: erythropoietin (epo) is a glycoprotein hormone function to regulate the production of red blood cells. deficiency of epo is known to cause anemia in chronically infected renal patients and they require regular blood transfusion. availability of recombinant epo has eliminated the need for blood transfusion and now it is extensively used for the treatment of anemia. glycosylation of e...

Cosmic Dark Fluid is considered as a non-stationary medium, in which electromagnetic waves propagate, and magneto-electric field structures emerge and evolve. A medium-type representation of the Dark Fluid allows us to involve in its analysis the concepts and mathematical formalism elaborated in the framework of classical covariant electrodynamics of continua, and to distinguish dark analogs of...
