New calculations are presented for Gamow-Teller beta decay of nuclei near 100 Sn. Essentially all of the 100 Sn Gamow-Teller decay strength is predicted to go to a single state at an excitation energy of 1.8 MeV in 100 In. The first calculations are presented for the decays of neighboring odd-even and odd-odd nuclei which show, in contrast to 100 Sn, surprisingly complex and broad Gamow-Teller ...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of Zataria multiflora and Eucalyptus globolus essential oils on some haematological parameters and respiratory burst activity in common carp (Cyprinus carpio). 260 fish (30±5g) were randomly distributed in 13 treatment groups each one in three replicates and different doses of essential oils in 16-17ºC were administrated. The fish were...

We sought to investigate arterial baroreflex (ABR) control of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) in the transition from rest to steady-state dynamic exercise. This was accomplished by assessing the relationship between spontaneous variations in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and MSNA at rest and during the time course of reaching steady-state arm cycling at 50% peak oxygen uptake (VO(2pea...

We examined 22 pairs of neurons in Area 17 of cats that were paralyzed and anesthetized with Propofol and N2O. We studied changes in ensemble responses for small (<10deg, 0.1c/deg) and large (>10deg, 0.1c/deg) differences in orientation (OR) and spatial frequency (SF). Examination of temporal resolution and discharge history revealed advantages in discrimination from both dependent (connectivit...

came on spontaneously ; it progressed slowly with weak pains and profuse bleeding; the membranes burst with the cervical canal yet undilated ; the quantity of water was enormously large. After 10 grains of ergot in powder had been given, the pains increased in strength and the head and upper part of the body were born ; but the termination of the labour was delayed, and the cause of this was fo...

We have observed an object having strong Balmer absorption lines and blue continuum. The inference about the nuclear stellar population drawn from the line ratios is basically coincident with that drawn from the continuum color, both indicating the dominant fraction of early A type population in the nucleus. This might be expected only if there has been a very massive starburst, burst strength ...

Porcine ureters were anastomosed using an albumin stent and diode laser in vitro. The albumin stent provided precise apposition for an end to end anastomosis and enhanced welding strength. The anastomosis seam was lasered with an 810 nm diode laser using continuous wave and pulse light through a hand-held 600 μm noncontact optical fiber. Tensile strength, burst pressures, operative times, total...

We present experimental and numerical evidence of synchronization of burst events in two different modulated CO2 lasers. Bursts appear randomly in each laser as trains of large amplitude spikes intercalated by a small amplitude chaotic regime. Experimental data and model show the frequency locking of bursts in a suitable interval of coupling strength. We explain the mechanism of this phenomenon...

A method for the production of paper with high strength and grease resistance was developed. Filter paper was impregnated by an aqueous solution of zinc chloride at a fixed temperature for several seconds. Swelling and partial dissolution of the cellulose fibers resulted in strong and compact paper. Various influencing factors were investigated in an attempt to improve the grease resistance of ...

Teucrium polium, a medicinal plant that belongs to the family Labiatae is widely used in folk medicine as antidiabetic, antibactrial and anti-inflammatory agent. In this study, we evaluated the effect of Teucrium polium on the mouse polymorphonuclear neutrophils. The animals were divided into five groups including four test and one control group, which orally received 50 and 100 mg/kg of aqueou...
