background: the spread of urbanization in floodplains as well as increase of industrial and agricultural activities in river discharges may lead to water pollution by physical, chemical and biological pollutants. one of the major concerns in monitoring the water resources system is indentifying major quality parameters and determining a relationship between physical and chemical parameters. thi...

We study the evolution of a neutral K meson prepared as an incoherent equal mixture of K and K̄. Denoting the density matrix by ρ(t) = 1 2 N(t) [1+ ~ ζ(t) · ~σ], the norm of the state N(t) is found to decrease monotonically from one to zero, while the magnitude of the Stokes vector |~ ζ(t)| increases monotonically from zero to one. This property qualifies these observables as arrows of time. Req...

We report mid–IR observations of two young stars found in the Taurus dark cloud spatially resolving for the first time their 10 μm emission. The weak–emission T Tauri star DI Tau, tentatively identified by Skrutskie et al. (1990) on the basis of 12 μm IRAS data as an object in the process of dissipating its circumstellar disk, is found to have no infrared excess at a wavelength of 10 μm. The ne...

These lectures deal with the description of hadronic scattering at high energies, and more specifically with the evolution of the scattering matrix with energy[1],[2]. It has been a very lively and active field for the last 10 years[3],[4],[5],[6] and especially lately there has been a new burst of activity. The latest developments are related to what is sometimes called Pomeron loops[7], or Fl...

Evaluation of skeletal muscle tolerance during development of new drug formulations for i.m. use is most often based on terminal methods performed in the target species after slaughtering. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of muscle damage on the pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug delivered into the muscle using an alternative, noninvasive method. Phenylbutazone (PBZ) w...

Magnetoinductive waves propagating along a set of resonant metamaterial elements are studied under the condition when the wave travels round a closed circular path and the total phase shift is an integral multiple of 2 . The resonant frequency of the circulating wave is shown to be related to the resonant frequency of the element via the known dispersion relationship. The currents in the elemen...

To clarify the correspondence between Shielding Effectiveness (SE) of shielding materials and their physical property, we propose an equivalent circuit for a shielding effectiveness test apparatus using a dual TEM cell, and show its validity. By considering the structure of dual TEM cell that consists of a pair of cells coupled via an aperture in their common wall, we defined the capacitance C ...
