The Fermi velocity vF is one of the primary characteristics any conductor, including superconductor. For conductors at ambient pressure, several experimental techniques have been developed to measure vF, and, for instance, Zhou et al. [Nature 423, 398 (2003)] reported that high-Tc cuprates exhibited a universal nodal vF,univ=2.7±0.5×105 m/s. However, there no measurements in highly compressed n...

To verify the influence of home-based exercise and type physical limitation on mood quality life were analyzed 34 Brazilian paralympic boccia athletes (with functional classes BC1 = 8, BC2 BC3 9, BC4 9) both genders, with different disabilities (e.g., cerebral palsy, quadriplegia, polio, congenital malformation, muscular dystrophy). Profile Mood States Quality Life questionnaires sent via apps ...

We report magnetotransport measurements on the quasi-two-dimensional charge-transfer salts BEDT-TTF 4 H3O M C2O4 3 Y, with Y =C6H5NO2 and C6H5CN using magnetic fields of up to 45 T and temperatures down to 0.5 K. A surprisingly robust superconducting state with an in-plane upper critical field Bc2 33 T, comparable to the highest critical field of any BEDT-TTF superconductor, and critical temper...

Immune sera were obtained from four rainbow trout that had survived natural infection by infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), and five monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were prepared against a Korean isolate of IHNV, IHNV-PRT. These immune sera and MAbs were characterized in terms of IHNV-neutralizing properties and reactivity in Western blots with the viral proteins of IHNV-PRT. All fiv...

The main object of the paper is to demonstrate in detail the role of classification in information retrieval (IR) and the design of classificatory structures by the application of logical division to all forms of the content of records, subject and imaginative. The natural product of such division is a faceted classification. The latter is seen not as a particular kind of library classification...

Transgenic canola (Brassica napus) with a Bacillus thuringiensis cry1Ac gene and a green fluorescent protein (GFP) marker gene was used in hybridization experiments with wild Brassica juncea. Hybrid F1 and successive five backcross generations were obtained. The pod-set frequency on backcrossed B. juncea plants was over 66%, which suggested relatively high crossing compatibility between the hyb...

The number of leaves and their distributions on plants are critical factors determining plant architecture in maize (Zea mays), and leaf number is frequently used as a measure of flowering time, a trait that is key to local environmental adaptation. Here, using a large set of 866 maize-teosinte BC2 S3 recombinant inbred lines genotyped by using 19,838 single nucleotide polymorphism markers, we ...

Release of transgenic insect-resistant crops creates the potential not only for the insect pest to evolve resistance but for the escape of transgenes that may confer novel or enhanced fitness-related traits through hybridization with their wild relatives. The differential response of diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) populations in eastern and western Canada to Bt-producing (GT) Brassica n...
