Synthetic cannabinoids (SC) are a heterogeneous group of substances with a high affinity for cannabinoid receptors. Unlike Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), synthetic cannabinoids are incredibly potent, highly productive, have more affinity for the Cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1), and Cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2), and are designed to accelerate the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol. Also, the...

The paper presents a simple derivation of the Gustafson-Barsis law from the Amdahl's law. In the computer literature these two laws describing the speedup limits of parallel applications are derived separately. It is shown, that treating the time of the execution of the sequential part of the application as a constant, in few lines the Gustafson-Barsis law can be obtained from the Amdahl's law ...

 Parathyroid adenoma involving a single parathyroid gland is the underlying cause of 80-85% of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Skeletal system is significantly affected by PHPT. Brown tumors are known to have affinity for 99mTc-MIBI. We report a rare case of PHPT presenting with diffuse bony pain, high calcium level and significantly elevated alkaline phosphatase level. 99m<...

Dyeing properties of compounded polyethylene terephthalate fibers with a polyesteramide hyperbranched polymer were investigated in terms of their thermodynamic parameters, including standard affinity -Δμ⁰, enthalpy change ΔH⁰ and entropy change ΔS⁰. Results were then compared with corresponding properties of the virgin PET. The results showed that the isotherms were similar to that of virgin PE...

objective: a descriptive study was carried out to determine the significance of igg-affinity in the serological diagnosis of rubella infections in pregnancy. materials and methods: a total of 92 pregnant women who had never received antirubella vaccines were recruited by simple random selection and did not exceed 24 weeks of gestation were recruited from the antenatal clinics of the university ...

Clusters are dominating high-performance computing (HPC) today. The success of this architecture is based on the fact that it profits from the improvements provided by main-stream computing well known under the label of Moore’s Law. But trying to get to Exascale within this decade might require additional endeavors beyond surfing this technology wave. In order to find a possible direction we re...

In Movies on Trial [1], I examine ways in which popular legal culture (especially television, fiction, and film) helps shape American attitudes toward different aspects of legal process and legal system. Among the topics I consider are criminal law, tort law, international law, constitutional law, and comparative law. I am now writing a second book on this subject, Movies on Appeal, and I will ...
