Background: This study consists of two parts. The first part deals with both qualitative and quantitative analysis of 226Ra using alpha spectrometry measurement method. In the second part, the percentage of radioactive equilibrium between 226 Ra and its daughter products were determined by alpha spectrometry and total alpha measurement system after elapsed time of 15 days from precipitation. Ma...

We test whether the alpha of an investment relative to one’s existing portfolio can be used to improve out-of-sample performance (Sharpe ratio; Four-factor alpha). For the period 20002014, we confirm this for the Vanguard S&P 500 Index Fund and the Growth and Small Index Fund, which we extend by adding various Exchange Traded Funds. If one considers that our baseline funds may be proxies of the...

We propose here a new idea for quantum teleportation of superposed coherent state which circumvents the problem performing non-unitary $$Z_c=|\alpha \rangle \langle \alpha |-|-\alpha -\alpha |$$ operation on qubit. The receiver only requires to perform either no unitary or $$\pi $$ phase shift in order recreate information state. use entangled resource $$\sim |\alpha ,\frac{\alpha }{\sqrt{2}}\r...

results overall, 3 (15%) subjects achieved svr, 10 cases (50%) relapsed after treatment cessation and 7 (35%) patients did not clear hdv during the treatment. conclusions hdv coinfection with hbv had very low response rate to high doses and long durations of ifn α-2b therapy. objectives we aimed to determine the efficacy of ifn α-2b therapy in patients with hbv/hdv coinfection. patients and met...

Due to the importance of fat tissues in both energy balance and in the associated disorders arising when such balance is not maintained, adipocyte differentiation has been extensively investigated in order to control and inhibit the enlargement of white adipose tissue. The ability of a cell to undergo adipocyte differentiation is one particular feature of all mesenchymal cells. Up until now, th...
