the ground state rotational bands of some rare earth nuclei show a rather strange behaviour at large values of angular momenta. the nuclear moment of inertia teta increases smoothly with angular momentum i up to i=12. then at about i=14 there is a sudden increase in the moment of inertia. the plot of teta versus the square of the angular velocity w gives a s-shaped curve. we attempt here to rep...

the presence of immune factors in inflamed dental pulps, suggests that immune responses could participate in disease process. with regard to the presence of significant number of mast cells in pulpitis cases, the purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between concentration and presence of ige in supernatant fluids of explants cultures of different states of dental pulps. for thi...

conclusions although the two instruments were able to discriminate between various states, the values derived from these instruments were quite different. this distinction could have influenced the conclusions of an economic evaluation. further research is required to determine which instrument should be used in economic evaluations. results the mean and median eq-5d utility scores for the tota...

background: information regarding the metabolic hormones in different metabolic states of high producing dairy cows can aid high producing herds to manage and resolve the metabolic and production problems. furthermore, it can be considered as a tool to evaluate metabolic status of dairy cows. herd managers can also evaluate the energy input-output relationships by assessing the metabolic profil...

background the pursuit of equity in health and healthcare has been the key feature of health policy in india. however, despite the policy significance, the volume of literature available on this issue is scarce. therefore, this paper is an attempt to examine the horizontal inequities in healthcare utilization, consisting of outpatient and inpatient care in 15 major states and north-eastern regi...

in this paper, two new quadrilateral elements are formulated to solve plane problems. low sensitivity to geometric distortion, no parasitic shear error, rotational invariance, and satisfying the felippa pure bending test are characteristics of these suggested elements. one proposed element is formulated by establishing equilibrium equations for the second-order strain field. the other suggested...

Background Increasingly, healthcare and non-healthcare employers prohibit or penalize the use of tobacco products among current and new employees in the United States. Despite this trend, and for a range of different reasons, around half of states currently legally protect employees from being denied positions, or having employment contracts terminated, due to tobacco use.   Methods We undertoo...
