Noise pollution is a growing problem across the world and one which many people may not be aware of impacts on their health. The environmental noise, in particular road traffic remains major affecting health well-being millions people. With this background, comprehensive ‘noise assessment study’ was undertaken for busy corridor Ahmedabad city India. spans around 22.25 km passes through mix diff...

Green Perovskite Light-Emitting Diodes (PeLEDs) have attracted wide attention for full spectrum displays. However, the inferior film morphology and luminescence property of quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) perovskite layers limit photoelectric PeLEDs. In this paper, effect strontium (Sr) doped in quasi-2D is investigated to obtain a high-quality active layer. The morphologies optical properties...

This study was designed to gain additional insight into the mechanism of the slow force response (SFR) to stretch of cardiac muscle. SFR and changes in intracellular Na concentration ([Na]i) were assessed in cat papillary muscles stretched from 92% to '98% of Lmax. The SFR was 12060.6% (n55) of the rapid initial phase and coincided with an increase in [Na]i. The SFR was markedly depressed by Na...

The photo-, thermoand solvatochromic properties of 2,3-dihydro-1 0,30,30-trimethyl-6nitrospiro[1-benzopyran-2,2 0-1H-indole] (BSP) and its photo-induced merocyanine isomer (MC) were investigated in phosphonium based ILs by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. It was found that the kinetics and thermodynamics of the BSP 2 MC equilibrium were sensitive to the nature of the anion. The MC lmax shifted f...

The so-called Colombo-Nyquist (Colombo, The global mapping of gravity with two satellites, 1984) rule in satellite geodesy has been revisited. This rule predicts that for a gravimetric satellite flying in a (near-)polar circular repeat orbit, the maximum resolvable geopotential spherical harmonic degree (lmax) is equal to half the number of orbital revolutions (nr) the satellite completes in on...

recently, it has been shown that a number of hydroxypyridinones such as 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one (l1) are useful for the treatment of iron overload in place of desferrioxamine in thalassaemic patients. in this study, the intestinal absorption (i.a.) of l1 and one of its analogues namely 2-methy-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one (l2), which possesses a higher partition coefficient (kpart) than l...

Risk for insomnia by nighttime road traffic noise invading into dwellings was investigated for 19 pairs of case and control women in 2 areas with major road passing in Tokyo. A good correlation was observed between simultaneously measured indoor and outdoor sound levels in LAeq (1 min) during sleeping time (n=14645: 7,241 for cases and 7,404 for controls: r=0.863; p<0.001), whose difference was...

We consider the two-parallel machines scheduling problem, with the aim of minimizing the maximum lateness and the makespan. Formally, the problem is defined as follows. We have to schedule a set J of n jobs on two identical machines. Each job i ∈ J has a processing time pi and a delivery time qi. Each machine can only perform one job at a given time. The machines are available at time t = 0 and...

The plateau phase of prolonged Sr-mediated contractions of preparations of cat and frog heart muscle was used to study the transient response to abrupt changes in load or length. An oscillatory response (total amplitude equal to or less than 5% Lmax) was obtained. Isotonic oscillations were less damped than their isometric counterparts, implying positive feedback and thus a causal role of the p...
