• A meson creation operator is a suitable linear combination of building blocks (1), yielding well defined quantum numbers with respect to total angular momentum J , parity P and, in the case of identical quark flavors, charge conjugation C (the “spatial structure of the meson” U [angular momentum L, (angular momentum) parity P and (angular momentum) charge conjugation C) and its spin part Γ ha...

The combination of a digital beamforming technique with space-time block coding in an indoor wireless environment is the purpose of this paper. Uplink transmission is achieved by an omnidirectional mobile antenna, with signals arriving at the base station having relatively wide angular spread. The spatial channel response, an estimate of the channel angular gain pattern, is obtained by using an...

We previously identified TRAIL-inducing compound 10 (TIC10), also known as NSC350625 or ONC201, from a NCI chemical library screen as a small molecule that has potent anti-tumor efficacy and a benign safety profile in preclinical cancer models. The chemical structure that was originally published by Stahle, et. al. in the patent literature was described as an imidazo[1,2-a]pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidi...

The interface atomic structure was proposed to have a critical effect on the microstructure evolution during sintering of ceramic materials. In liquid-phase sintering, spherical grains show the normal grain growth behavior without exception, while angular grains often grow abnormally. The coarsening process of spherical grains with a disordered or rough interface atomic structure is diffusion-c...

The paths of 2425 individual motorcycle trips made in London were analyzed in order to uncover the route choice decisions made by drivers. The paths were derived from global positioning system (GPS) data collected by a courier company for each of their drivers, using algorithms developed for the purpose of this paper. Motorcycle couriers were chosen due to the fact that they both know streets v...

An observer's visual perception of the absolute distance between his or her position and an object is based on multiple sources of information that must be extracted during scene viewing. Research has not yet discovered the viewing duration observers need to fully extract distance information, particularly in navigable real-world environments. In a visually directed walking task, participants s...

polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) are a class of compounds consisting of more than twobenzene rings fused in a linear, angular, or clustered arrangement and do not contain hetero atomsor carry subsistent. pahs originate from various sources. they are primarily formed byincomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels such as wood, coal, diesel, fat, or tobacco. thepresent study reports an...
