The isovector M1 transitions between low-lying T=1 and T=0 states in oddodd N=Z nuclei are analyzed. Simple analytical expressions for M1 transition strengths are derived within a single-j-shell approximation for both j = l+1/2 and j = l − 1/2 cases. The large B(M1) values for the j = l + 1/2 case are attributed to quasi-deuteron configurations. The B(M1) values for the j = l − 1/2 case are fou...

We prove that for positive k, n and m, the set { 1,3, . ,2n 1) of odd integers contains k disjoint subsets having a constant odd sum m if and only if 9(k-1)Cm <2n-1, or 9k<m<n2/k and n2-mk#2.

Following from the prediction by Hilton and Mang [1] of “giant backbending” in 180Hf, caused by a collective oblate rotational band crossing the prolate ground-state band, there has been further theoretical investigation of this phenomenon [2–5]. The calculated shape change is understood to be induced by the effects of rotation alignment. It is related to the prediction of a ground-state shape ...

Background: Bacterial sepsis is highly prevalent among premature infants. Amikacin is an antibiotic widely recommended for the treatment of neonatal sepsis, one of the consequences of which might be nephrotoxicity. The present study aimed to compare the efficacy and nephrotoxicity of multiple daily dosing (MDD) and once-daily dosing (ODD) of amikacin in preterm infants suspected of sepsis. Met...

drought is common across the south of iran, especially in darab district. accordingly, studying the economic aspects of deficit irrigation technique – that is one of the basic strategies in water saving for reducing water use of cotton as one of the main agricultural products in darab district is essential. in order to investigate the deficit irrigation technique and to determine its economic t...

An ultra-wide band band-pass filter using novel spiral stub-loaded triple-mode resonator (SSLTMR) is presented. New spiral stub loaded resonator is analyzed with odd and even modes analysis for this class of BPF, achieving higher band wide and size reduction. In order to have a good response characterized, two (SSL-TMRs) and two quarter wavelength digital coupled lines are used. This new design...
