The perturbative QCD provides a good overall description of both the jet and hadron multiplicities in the e + e ? annihilation reaction. In this description the hadrons are considered as dual to partons at a small resolution parameter Q 0 characteristic of a hadronic scale of few hundred MeV. Abstract. The perturbative QCD provides a good overall description of both the jet and hadron multiplic...

AS CORE SKELETONS OF LAMELLARINS: 5,6-Dihydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines are one of the important alkaloids that exhibit significant biological activities, in this study, an efficient synthetic route was described for two novel compounds, 5,6-dihydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines I and II. Compound I was synthesized from isovanillin with 28.3% overall yield by a six-step reaction while II from 2-(...

the feasibility of extractive reaction of methacrylic acid from aqueous solution using a quaternary amine, tri–octyl methyl ammonium chloride (tomac) as an extractant, was studied. the diluents chosen in the present work belong to different chemical classes, n–butyl acetate, carbon tetrachloride, isoamyl alcohol, methyl isobutyl ketone, and toluene. the effect of initial acid concentration in t...

reaction constants and heat release during thermophilic aerobic digestion of typical secondary and mixed sludges were determined. maximum reaction constant, determined by measuring the amounts of biodegradable volatile suspended solids (bvss) removed, occurred in the temperature range of 55-60 ºc. measurement of heat releases were carried out, at the same range, by the aid of a temperature prog...

ONSM is a rare tumour. It is usually separated into the primary ONSM (pONSM) (intraorbital or intracanalicular) and secondary (sONSM) (intra­ cranial). The tumour can also originate within the optic nerve sheath in the orbit or optic canal and may grow intracranially to involve various struc­ tures there. ONSM can also present in a bilateral form. pONSM represent approximately 96% of all intrao...

Forward Error Correction (FEC) is very efficient for off-line streaming with large buffering time, but real-time streaming puts hard restrictions on the buffer size making FEC inefficient for combating long link failures on single path routes. Multi-path routing, orthogonal to buffering, can however make FEC effective also for real-time streaming. For this purpose we introduce a capillary routi...

Initiation of Intercourse: Overall Influences At the follow-up interview, 28% of young men reported having initiated intercourse within a year of the first survey. In general, involvement in risky behaviors and precoital sexual activity increased the likelihood of first sex (odds ratios, 1.4 and 1.3, respectively—Table 3). The more approving that young men were of premarital sex, the more likel...

data envelopment analysis (dea) measures the relative efficiency of decision making units (dmus) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. dea-based malmquist productivity index measures the productivity change over time. we propose a dynamic dea model involving network structure in each period within the framework a dea. we have previously published the network dea (ndea) and the dynamic dea ...

the  non-classical mhc  class-i mainly involves in the  regulation of  innate  immune responses where hla-e  plays a significant role in the cell identification by natural killer cells. hla-e is a main regulatory ligand for natural killer cells and given the importance of these effector cells in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, we investigated the effect of hla-e polymorphisms on post-h...

FunTree is a resource that brings together protein sequence, structure and functional information, including overall chemical reaction and mechanistic data, for structurally defined domain superfamilies. Developed in tandem with the CATH database, the original FunTree contained just 276 superfamilies focused on enzymes. Here, we present an update of FunTree that has expanded to include 2340 sup...
