Many molecular theories of nematic liquid crystals consider the constituent molecules as cylindrically symmetric. In many cases, this approximation may be useful. However the molecules of real nematics have lower symmetry. Therefore a theory was developed (Mol. Phys. 30 (1975) 1345) for an ensemble of such particles based upon a general expansion of the pairwise intermolecular potential togethe...

We point out a loophole problem in some recent experimental claims to produce three-particle entanglement. The problem consists in the question whether mixtures of two-particle entangled states might suffice to explain the experimental data. In an attempt to close this loophole, we review two sufficient conditions that distinguish between N -particle states in which all N particles are entangle...

Reported are the results of a survey to assess the prevalence of illicit drug use among high-school students in Jamaica. A total of 2417 high-school students in 26 schools were covered: 1063 boys and 1354 girls of whom 1317 were grade-10 students (mean age 15.7 years) and 1100 were grade-11 students (mean age 16.8 years). Of the students, 1072 and 1345 were from rural and urban schools, respect...

BACKGROUND The goal of our study was to assess the influence of hypertension chronopharmacotherapy on diurnal blood pressure (BP) profile and mortality. METHODS Subjects with established coronary heart disease (CHD) (n = 1345, mean age 63.2 ± 9.2 years) were included. RESULTS Non-dipping status was related to a lack of nighttime hypertensive drug administration (OR 3.87, 95% CI 3.00-4.98). ...

The QSO 1345+584 has been spatially resolved by direct images and in spectral images, and has extended flux asymmetrically to the W, where its inner radio structure is seen. The brightest knots in the resolved flux correspond closely with knots in the curved radio jet, and the brightest knot has velocity of approach of some 3000 km/s with respect to the nucleus. Other parts of the line-emitting...

The formation of solely ?-phase titanium after direct laser deposition (DLD) metastable ?-Ti alloy does not provide the desired properties. Hence, we present a study into ageing response DLD built Ti-5553 to obtain bimodal (? + ?) microstructure providing improved results obtained from heat treatments showed that unique with refined intragranular and discontinuous grain boundary ?-phase can be ...
