Ground motion and vibration can be a limiting factor in the performance of future colliders, in particular linear colliders and large hadron colliders. Investigations of ground motion have been carried out around the world for several decades. In this review, after brief discussion of ground motion requirements for NLC, TESLA and VLHC, the results of recent investigations of ground motion are p...

Adding a field gradient to the main dipoles for the NLC Main Damping Ring lattice has leads to significant improvements in the dynamic behavior of particles in the lattice. We describe the properties of the new lattice, including some initial estimates of alignment tolerances required to achieve the desired vertical emittance. CBP Tech Note-223 LCC-0055 Improved Dynamics in the 180 Hz NLC Dampi...

We report flexoelectric liquid crystal displays based on polymer-stabilized cholesteric liquid crystals with both uniform lying helix (PSULH) and vertical standing helix (PSVSH) modes. A method to enhance the flexoelectric switching of the CLC mixture is achieved by mixing nematic liquid crystal (NLC) constituents with the addition of a giant flexoelastic coefficient bimesogenic LC dimer into a...

Therapeutic peptides can treat a wide variety of diseases with selective and potent action. Their oral bioavailability is strongly limited by an important proteolytic activity in the intestinal lumen poor permeation across border. We have evaluated capacity solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) nanostructured carriers (NLC) to overcome both limiting aspects, using leuprolide (LEU) as model peptide. L...

Abstract: Background: Cinacalcet Hydrochloride (CINH) is a BCS class IV drug. It mainly used for the treatment of chronic renal disease and parathyroid cancer. exhibits poor oral bioavailability less than 25%. The main objective to improve stability CINH by formulating lyophilized Nanostructure Lipid Carrier (NLC) into tablet dosage form. Materials Methods: In this research, Glycerylmonostearat...

The tight tolerances in the main linacs of the Next Linear Collider (NLC) result in a large sensitivity of the beam emittance to slow alignment drifts. Once the accelerator is tuned, the optimized emittances must be maintained. Slow alignment drifts will make resteering and reoptimization necessary. The frequency of these linac reoptimizations is an important parameter that determines how well ...

Novel nonlinear-carrier (NLC) controllers are proposed for high-power-factor boost rectifiers. In the NLC controllers, the switch duty ratio is determined by comparing a signal derived from the main switch current with a periodic, nonlinear carrier waveform. As a result, the average input current follows the input line voltage. The technique is suitable for boost converters operating in the con...

Phosphatidylcholines (PCs) and phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs) from urine of patients with breast cancer were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by nanoflow liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (nLC-ESI-MS-MS). Urinary phospholipids (PLs) were extracted from three different categories of patients (non-cancer controls and breast cancer patients before and...

An electron/positron linear collider with a center-of-mass energy between 0.5 and 1 TeV is recognized as an important complement to the physics program of the LHC. The Next Linear Collider (NLC) is being designed by a US collaboration (FNAL, LBNL, LLNL, and SLAC) which is working closely with the Japanese collaboration that is designing the Japanese Linear Collider (JLC). The NLC/JLC main linac...

The Cornell University Portable Radar Interferometer (CUPRI) provided nearly continuous monitoring of the mesosphere above Esrange, Sweden during the noctilucent cloud rocket and radar campaign of the summer of 1991 (NLC-91). CUPRI probed the mesosphere above Esrange from 78 to 91 km altitude with 300-meter resolution and was sensitive to the enhanced Polar Mesospheric Summer Echoes (PMSE) that...
