We probe the scale dependence of the primordial spectrum in the light of the three-year WMAP (WMAP3) alone and WMAP3 in combination with the other cosmological observations such as galaxy clustering and Type Ia Supernova (SNIa). We pay particular attention to the combination with the Lyman α (Lyα) forest. Different from the first-year WMAP (WMAP1), WMAP3’s preference on the running of the scala...

An index to evaluate the phosphorus (P) pollution potential of agricultural fields was proposed by Lemunyon and Gilbert in 1993. Data .from three rainfall simulation studies were used to evaluate the relative importance of the variables in the P index. These studies included plots containing sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.), winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L), and corn (Zea mays L) residues on whic...

The initial treatment of uncontrolled hemorrhage shock from an abdominal source is controversial. The hemodynamic effects of transfemoral diaphragmatic aortic occlusion with a balloon followed by a single bolus of hypertonic saline solutions have been evaluated in 28 dogs. The animals were submitted to pressure-driven hemorrhage for 90 min, according to mean arterial pressure in the abdominal a...

The insulin resistance syndrome has been characterized by hypertension, upper body obesity, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, glucose intolerance, and hypertriglyceridemia. Previous studies are inconsistent regarding the relationship between blood pressure and insulin resistance. We therefore compared the metabolic profile in 60 hypertensive subjects (mean+/-SD arterial pressure, 116+/-7 mm...

Background: The seeds of some medicinal plants and their compounds have long been valued for their numerous health benefits. Objective:To investigate some physical and chemical properties of Salvia spp. Methods: Some physico-chemical properties in five species of Salvia seeds (consisted of S. officinalis L., S. macrosiphon L., S. hypoleuca L., S. sclarea L. and S. nemorosa L.) were measured ...

The non-split extension group $overline{G} = 5^3{^.}L(3,5)$ is a subgroup of order 46500000 and of index 1113229656 in Ly. The group $overline{G}$ in turn has L(3,5) and $5^2{:}2.A_5$ as inertia factors. The group $5^2{:}2.A_5$ is of order 3 000 and is of index 124 in L(3,5). The aim of this paper is to compute the Fischer-Clifford matrices of $overline{G}$, which together with associated parti...
