to ReVia ® (Research Institute of Addictions, 1995). It is not, however, a new medication. Its history extends back to 1915, when German scientist Uber J. Pohl documented antagonistic effects of N-allylnorcodeine on morphineinduced respiratory depression in laboratory animals. The clinical importance of Pohl's finding was not pursued until the 1940s with the synthesis of nalorphine, the first s...

An acoustic surface plasmon, a new type of electron wave that exists on metal surfaces, has been proven to exist by Bogdan Diaconescu and Karsten Pohl, Univ. of New Hampshire, Durham. The acoustic plasmon can be excited with any wavelength. These plasmons have been predicted on theoretical grounds, and last year, a team concluded that they did not exist. This work proves their existence. Becaus...

Estimating the extent of an animal's exterior surface, and its interface with the environment, is of prime importance in thermal biology. Regardless of the mode of transfer, heat fluxes across an animal's surface are often calculated as intensive quantities (e.g. W/m?) and converted to values for a particular animal by multiplying by surface area. Thus, the accuracy of heat-transfer estimates m...

Over the last decades the Smart Home development is a continuously evolving field that faces exceptional challenges. However, the recent advances in information and communications technologies have led the Smart Home development in a good level of maturity. A Smart Home is a living environment that incorporates the appropriate technology, called Smart Home technology, to meet the resident goals...

The muonic hydrogen experiment measuring the 2P-2S transition energy [R. Pohl et al., Nature (London) 466, 213 (2010)] is significantly discrepant with theoretical predictions based on quantum electrodynamics. A possible approach to resolve this conundrum is to compare experimental values with theoretical predictions in another system, muonic deuterium μD. The only correction which might be que...

The notion of quality in requirements speciications is poorly understood, although recent frameworks such as those of Lindland et al. and Pohl have tried to take a more systematic approach to the problem area. A major weakness of these frameworks is that they are on a high level of abstraction, and thus have little in the form of practical guidelines to ooer practitioners. Based on an extension...

The relative growth of the fiddler crab Uca sindensis in Pohl Port was studied. Ten 0.5 m2 quadrates were randomly sampled monthly during low tide periods from October 2009 to September 2010. A total of 840 crabs, 449 (53.45%) males and 391(46.5%) ‌ females, were sampled. The Carapace width of males ranged from 5.5 to13.5 mm (mean ± SD) (8.92 ± 2.04), and of females from 5.0 to 11.5 mm (mean ± ...

Based on the reflective index reported in literature, present work aims to investigate plasmon energy, microhardness and homopolar band gap energy of BxAl1-xSb ternary semiconducting alloys as a function boron concentration x range 0 –1. We found that both change gradually but not monotonically with increasing from 1, while increases enhancing x. emphasize dependent between 1 is extremely unusu...
