Depending on the growth conditions, FePd thin films can display a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy associated with chemical order. In competition with the shape anisotropy, this can lead to striped magnetic domains, with moments perpendicular to the film plane. Under these circumstances, magnetic flux closure should occur. The striped domains were studied with soft x-ray resonant magnetic scat...

The possibility of chemical modification of peptides and proteins under the condition of proteolytic digestions and FABMS analysis was investigated. The results ;indicate that among the amino acid constituents of peptides and proteins: serinefcysteine, and cystine are the most sensitive residues which undergo chemical modificadons under the exprimenta1 conditions. The chemical modification ...

Somatostatin (SST)-positive interneurons in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) play important roles in neuronal diseases, memory and cognitive functions. However, their development in the ACC remains unclear. Using postnatal day 3 (P3) to P45 GIN mice, we found that most of the intrinsic membrane properties of SST interneurons in the ACC were developmentally mature after the second postnatal w...

background the vacuum assisted closure (vac) therapy has revolutionized the modern wound care. we developed a new concept of ‘vac at home’ in order to decrease the hospital cost. methods the study was conducted in a private hospital from january 2009 to december 2010. only those patients were included among whom the wounds were not complicated by concomitant injury and the patients were otherwi...
