NASA’s long-range goal is focused upon human exploration of Mars. Missions to Mars will require campaigns of multiple launches to assemble Mars Transfer Vehicles in Earth orbit. Launch campaigns are subject to delays, launch vehicles can fail to place their payloads into the required orbit, and spacecraft may fail during the assembly process or while loitering prior to the Trans-Mars Injection ...

Background. Evidence shows that obesity negatively influences children’s physical, physiological and musculoskeletal well-being. Objectives. This study examined the relationship between triponderal mass index (TMI), blood pressure (BP), and musculoskeletal fitness (MSF) in a cross-sectional sample of school children in Ado-Ekiti, Southwest Nigeria. Methods. Body weight, stature, systolic and ...

The effect of artificial insemination (AI), embryo transfer (ET) to bull dams (BD), and sexed semen (SS) to cow dams (CD) with and without controlling inbreeding were studied using stochastic simulation. Three levels of embryo transfer (no ET, ET on all BD, and ET on 20% of BD), five levels of sexed semen (no SS: control, SS-X on all CD, SS-X on 20% CD, SS-Y on all CD, and SS-Y on 20% CD), thre...

Based on hybrid wavelength pumping and tapered Yb-doped fibers (T-YDFs), a 650 W all-fiber single-frequency polarization-maintaining fiber amplifier was demonstrated experimentally at 1030 nm. Different pump power ratios in the T-YDF-based power-amplifier stage were proposed to investigate their influence transverse mode instability (TMI) effect. The highest TMI threshold obtained when ratio of...

In a multicenter clinical trial treatment, the effects of overdentures on different implant systems in patients with severely resorbed mandibles were compared 1 year after the insertion of new dentures. The implant systems used were the transmandibular implant (TMI), the IMZ (IMZ), and the Brånemark system (BRA). Treatment was randomly assigned to 88 patients according to a balanced allocation ...

A new modelling study of the role of transition metal ions on cloud chemistry has been performed. Developments of the Model of Multiphase Cloud Chemistry (M2C2; Leriche et al., 2001) are described, including the transition metal ions reactivity emission/deposition processes and variable photolysis in the aqueous phase. The model is then applied to three summertime scenarios under urban, remote ...

Correlation between structure and transport properties are investigated in high-quality single-crystals of Ca2Ru1 xCrxO4 with 0oxo0.14 using single crystal X-ray diffraction and by electronic studies. The parent compound was known to exhibit an intriguing first-order structurally driven metal–insulator (MI) transition at 357 K. Upon chromium doping on the ruthenium site, the metal–insulator tra...

We study dynamics of entanglement in the thermalization process an isolated quantum many-body system. propose a simple setup for measuring propagation speed entropy (EE) numerical simulations and apply it to integrable/non-integrable spin models 1D — transverse Ising (TI) model, chaotic (CI) extended (ECI) model. find that two distinct time-scales t* tdiff arise EE process: former represents ti...

Introdução: O tumor miofibroblastico inflamatório (TMI) refere-se a uma proliferação celular anor­mal com presença de um infiltrado que pode acometer diferentes órgão e tecidos tem não gravidade, etiologia, diagnóstico tratamento pré-estabelcidos. Objetivos: identificar o literatura mais atual trás sobre miofibroblástico gastrointestinal suas impli­cações. Métodos: Trata-se estudo descritivo re...

The first trial of Mg-doping in the atmospheric-pressure MOVPE growth of InN has been made using CP2Mg as a Mg source. Although Mg is incorporated in the InN films and its content is proportional to CP2Mg/TMI molar ratio, all samples grown here show n-type conduction and the electron concentration is rather increased with increasing CP2Mg/TMI molar ratio. The SIMS analysis reveals that C and H ...
