Angular momentum changing collisions can be suppressed in atoms whose valence electrons are submerged beneath filled shells of higher principle quantum number. To determine whether spin-exchange collisions are suppressed in these "submerged shell" atoms, we measured collisional rates for six hyperfine states of Mn at T < 1 K. Although the 3d valence electrons in Mn are submerged beneath a fille...

Submerged macrophytes respond to changes in the nutrient concentrations in their environment. In contrast to diatoms e.g., submerged macrophytes are capable of taking up nutrients from both the sediment pore water and the overlying water. Therefore, macrophytes can provide a more comprehensive assessment of river ecosystems. Two methods using submerged macrophytes to assess and monitor changes ...

Submerged tooth is the one that is depressed below the occlusal plane. Dental ankylosis is thought to be a major cause of submergence. Submerged deciduous teeth have the potential to cause malocclusion not only by prevention of their exfoliation and subsequent replacement by permanent teeth but also by causing tilting of proximal teeth and extrusion of opposing tooth. The purpose of this report...

T. IIZUKA and K. IKEDA Tochigi Works Hitachi, Ltd. Shimotsuga-gun, Tochigi-ken, Japan, 329-44 Since applications of rotary compressors driven by inverter motors have become more widespread, l~bricating problems with the sliding parts have been appearing. The sliding parts require sufficient antiseizure and wear-resistant properties under the boundary lubricating conditions. The authors have dev...

The mixing of oil and gas forms the foundation deep-sea extraction transportation. However, traditional conveying equipment has low efficiency high failure rates. In this study, a spiral axial flow liquid multiphase pump was used as base model. Eulerian model RNG turbulence were for numerical simulations to analyze internal field pump. A modification scheme proposed twist airfoil shape create t...

Due to machining techniques and dust deposition, gas turbine upstream slots vane roots are always filleted, significantly affecting the cooling performance of endwall. The effects slot fillet root on endwall were investigated by solving three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations with shear stress transport (SST) k–ω turbulence model. results indicate that velocity distri...

what he calls a string of coincidences. A physiologist colleague in Guatemala who happened to have worked with John Vane, then at the Royal College of Surgeons, recommended Moncada to Vane. Once in England, Moncada joined Vane's team, which was then working on the mechanism of action of aspirin and its relationship with prostaglandin synthesis. In 1974, he returned to Honduras to pursue a resea...

The amphibious leafless sedge Eleocharis vivipara develops C4-like traits as well as Kranz anatomy under terrestrial conditions, but it develops C3-like traits without Kranz anatomy under submerged conditions. When submerged plants are exposed to aerial conditions, they rapidly produce new photosynthetic tissues with C4-like traits. In this study, experiments were performed to determine whether...
