Background : Selenium-73 (T 1/2 =7.1h) and Selenium-75 (T 1/2 =119.8d) are useful radioisotopes in many research fields. The wide ranges of applications of these radioisotopes arose great interest for their production. Simultaneous production of 73 Se and 75 Se is more cost-effective and less time-consuming. Materials and Methods : 73 As (p, 3n) 73 Se and 75 As (p,n) 75 Se reactions were determ...

We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to longitudinally examine brain plasticity arising from long-term, intensive simultaneous interpretation training. Simultaneous interpretation is a bilingual task with heavy executive control demands. We compared brain responses observed during simultaneous interpretation with those observed during simultaneous speech repetition (shadowing) i...

This paper discusses the control of flexible microgrids, consisting of a Redox Flow Batteries (RFB) and a new power conditioning system (PCS) for the RFB. Considering the importance of energy storage, this study is essential in power systems that are developed cautiously. RFB is connected to power system by a DC/DC or DC/AC converter to produce a DC voltage. It is very important that this conve...

We consider solutions of normal form games that are invariant under strategic equivalence. We consider additional properties that can be expected (or be desired) from a solution of a game, and we observe the following: • Even the weakest notion of individual rationality restricts the set of solutions to be equilibria. This observation holds for all types of solutions: in pure-strategies, in mix...

The paper is concerned with simultaneous linear-quadratic (LQ) optimal control design for a set of LTI systems via piecewise constant output feedback. First, the discrete-time simultaneous LQ optimal control design problem is reduced to solving a set of coupled matrix inequalities and an iterative LMI algorithm is presented to compute the feedback gain. Then, simultaneous stabilization and simu...

this study was designed to evaluate pharmacokinetics of sulphadimidine   in cockerels fed on subclinical dose of arsenic (100 ppm) in diet and to determine the protective efficacy following simultaneous dietary medication with piper longum (pipli)   (100 ppm) in a 12-week feeding trial. pharmacokinetic parameters were determined after single i.v. dose (50 mg/kg) of sulphadimidine in cockerels i...
