On or about the 10th of October 2000, the plaintiffs submitted a typescript of a scientific paper to the editors of the journal Nascence. Some two weeks later, they received a communication from the editors stating that their paper woul...

nations, including India and China, to make mandatory cuts. The outcome agreed by the US was no specific commitment to the 25–40 per cent cut, only a suggestion in a footnote, and no insistence on a commitment from developing nations. While many welcomed the fact that the US was now on board the climate negotiations, environmental groups and many scientists warned that the agreement was weak an...

mo40 low-alloy steels are mostly used to produce industrial components such as crane wheels whichare exposed to abrasive wear. however, during working conditions, their wear resistance is reduced aftera while due to its low hardness. with increasing abrasive wear, the dimensions of components decreaseand they need to be repaired for surface modification. in this regard, hard overlay coatings ar...

ticks (acari: ixodidae) are obligatory blood feeders and important external parasites of wildlife, domestic animals and humans in tropical and subtropical areas. ticks primarily transmit different pathogenic organisms to livestock and humans, and secondly harm their animal hosts by decreasing blood protein content and nutrients due to partial exsanguinations, induce allergic reaction and someti...

We present a computer simulation study of a binary mixture of hard spherocylinders with different diameters (D1,D2) and the same lengths (L15L25L). We first study a mixture of spherocylinders with lengths L 515D2 and D150, which can be regarded as a mixture of rodlike colloids and ideal needles. We find clearly an entropy-driven isotropic-isotropic (I-I) demixing transition in this mixture. In ...
