Abstract: In this paper, combining the Maxwell equations with the electron balanceequation, we obtain the inverse braking radiation absorption coefficient in a laser fusioncorona plasma. For a fixed plasma temperature, variations of the absorption coefficientversus the penetration depth into the plasma are illustrated numerically for differentvalues of laser wavelength. ...

Pigs were raised on six isotopically controlled diets to examine the dietary macronutrients used in the synthesis of bulk bone biochemical components (apatite, collagen and lipids) and individual compounds (bone fatty acids, cholesterol and amino acids from collagen). δ13C values of apatite and bulk bone lipids reflected those of the whole diet, with Capatite-whole diet = 10.2 ± 1.3‰ and Cbone ...

A total of 40 samples from carbonates and 8 samples from silicate rocks were analyzed from the Sangan iron skarn deposit to examine behavior of the oxygen and carbon isotopes. The higher values of ?18O are from metamorphic calcite and dolomite and lower ones are from granitic rocks. Although the ?18O and ?13C values of calcite and dolomite in marble yield the highest values in the Sangan deposi...

coriandrum sativum l. is one of the most important plants compared to the other herbs and medicinal plants as a planted covered area in kermanshah province. for a suitable irrigation management programming, the awareness of crop coefficient and water requirement in different plant stages is essential. the ratio of actual evapotranspiration to reference crop evapotranspiration is defined as crop...

Renovation and modernization can lead to changes in various fields, including material and immaterial values of the family. The process of cultural modernization has also brought about changes in the socio-cultural context of societies that have led to changes in family values. Therefore, the present study was aimed at the effect of cultural modernization on family values among high school stud...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare the item difficulty degree between the Pediatric Balance Scale and Fullerton Advanced Balance scale for children with cerebral palsy. [Subjects and Methods] Forty children with cerebral palsy (male=17, female=23) voluntarily participated in the study. Item difficulty was expressed in the Rasch analysis using a logit value, with a higher value i...

This study evaluates the standardized strength test in the Constant-Murley shoulder assessment of adults with healthy shoulders in a randomized, single-blind design. The following questions were to be answered: (1) Can the spring balance and a digital dynamometer both yield the same result? (2) What is the intraobserver and interobserver reliability of the strength test? (3) Is the strength tes...

Phosphorus retention (TPacc) was determined in 7 lakes in Ontario, Canada from mass balances and from the direct measurement of phosphorus accumulation in the sediments. Phosphorus retentions determined using the mass balance technique ranged between 20 ± 3.9 and 94 ± 23 mg/m/yr and were slightly lower than those calculated by multiplying sediment total phosphorus (TP) concentrations by sedimen...
