Vibronic coupling within the excited electronic manifold of the solute all-trans-β-carotene through the vibrational motions of the solvent cyclohexane is shown to manifest as the "molecular near-field effect," in which the solvent hyper-Raman bands are subject to marked intensity enhancements under the presence of all-trans-β-carotene. The resonance hyper-Raman excitation profiles of the enhanc...

Recent advances in semiconductor manufacturing and engineering technologies have led to the inclusion of more than one CPU core in a single physical processor package. This, popularly known as Chip Multi Processing (CMP), allows multiple instruction streams to execute at the same time. CMP is in addition to today’s Simultaneous Multi Threading (SMT) capabilities, like Intel R © Hyper-Threading ...

We present a case of Stargardt disease in a 66-year-old man. Fundus examination revealed atrophic macula in both eyes. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging showed clearly defined hypo-autofluorescent lesions corresponding to the atrophic lesion. In addition, numerous hyper-autofluorescent dots corresponding to the retinal flecks were observed around the atrophic area. Near-infrared FAF imaging...

We present a case of adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy (AFMVD) in a 62-year-old man. Fundus examination revealed subretinal depositions of yellowish material within themacula. During the 4-year follow-up period, the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the right eye did not change; the BCVA in the left eye gradually deteriorated from 0.5 to 0.08. Ophthalmoscopic findings showed n...

Prevalence of chronic disorder like asthma has dramatically increased in recent decades. These are mainly disorder of immune system, the results of complex interactions among various genetic and environmental factors. Interleukin 4 and 13, a Th2type cytokine play key role in inflammatory pathway, emerged in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma. Both are act as central regulator in IgE synthesis...

Let S be a bipartite semigraph with |NXa(y)| ≥ 1 for every y ∈ Y . A vertex x ∈ X hyper dominates y ∈ Y if y ∈ Na(x) or y ∈ Na(NY a(x)). A subsetD ⊆ X is a hyper dominating set of S if every y ∈ Y is hyper dominated by a vertex ofD. A subsetD ⊆ X is called a minimal hyper dominating set of S if no proper subset of D is a hyper dominating set of S. The minimum cardinality of a minimal hyper domi...

In R/qtl version 1.04, the functions summary.scantwo and plot.scantwo have been changed quite substantially. Also, the permutations with scantwo have been changed to match the new format for summary.scantwo. In this document, I describe the revisions and how to use the new functions. We'll look at the hyper data as an example. First we need to load the package and the data. > library(qtl) > dat...

T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) is a rare form of aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The standard approach for management of T-LBL involves intensive multiagent chemotherapy regimens for induction and consolidation phases with central nervous system prophylaxis and a maintenance phase lasting 12-18 months. We report on a case of long-term survival after one cycle of hyperfractionated cyclophos...

One of the annual issues that has to be addressed in English football is producing a fixture schedule for the holiday periods that reduces the travel distance for the fans and players. This problem can be seen as a minimisation problem which must abide to the constraints set by the Football Association. In this study, the performance of selection hyper-heuristics is investigated as a solution m...
