Two different methods which allow to calculate electric current through molecular junctions are compared. The first method is based on the scattering theory and Landauer formula, and the second on the master equation technique. Two models of the junction with different molecular bridges (with and without an internal vibrational degree of freedom) were used to compare and discuss features of bot...

G estational diabetes mellitus (GDM), defined as carbohydrate intolerance first diagnosed during pregnancy (1), is a common medical complication of pregnancy, affecting 1.1–14.3% of pregnant women depending on the ethnic and clinical characteristics of the population and the diagnostic test employed (2). Ever since O’Sullivan and Mahan (3) published their criteria for diagnosis of GDM using a 1...

1206 Journal of Chemical Education • Vol. 81 No. 8 August 2004 • www.JCE.DivCHED.org In 1975 Mahan (1) wrote a very nice article entitled “Microscopic Reversibility and Detailed Balance” that emphasized molecular collisions and the use of partition functions in chemical kinetics. One of the things that has happened since then is the development of computer programs for personal computers that m...

malondialdehyde (MDA), a compound correlated with oxidative damage in plants, did not increase in response Early season temperature stress adversely affects the growth and to water deficits and it was proposed that oxidative development of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seedlings. Oxidative damage was substantially mitigated in the plants under damage resulting from temperature extremes is thou...

The much-anticipated, weather-plagued National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Development Conference on Diagnosing Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, held in Bethesda,Maryland, 4–6 March 2013, led to publication of a consensus panel report (1) that essentially maintains and promotes the status quo regarding gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) diagnosis. The panel report contradicts current Am...

This paper presents a linear programming model that allocates the waters of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers to irrigation, urban consumption, and on-stream hydroelectricity production in the three riparian countries (Turkey, Syria, and Iraq), by maximizing the aggregate net benefits from water uses while accounting for water-conveyance costs. The model represents, in network form, the system ma...

Haemost 2014; 112: 692-699. Historically, hospital-related venous thromboembolism (VTE) has been thought to mainly occur in surgical patients (1). Several phase III randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have investigated benefits and harms of pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis in this setting (1). Subsequently, acutely ill hospitalised medical patients have been recognised to be at increased risk o...

introduction atmosphere health is an important environmental issue and air pollution is not a local problem in a given area of the world. particles produced by either humans or the nature enter the atmosphere and return the earth’s surface at local, regional, or global scales after physico-chemical interactions. according to the reports by who, each year 2.4 million people lose their lives worl...
