A novel method was developed to determine carbon atom density as a function of depth by analyzing the postedge signal in near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectra. We show that the common assumption in the analysis of NEXAFS data from polymer films, namely, that the carbon atom density is constant as a function of depth, is not valid. This analysis method is then used to calcul...

Due to existence of uncertainties in input geometrical properties of fractures, there is not any unique solution for assessing the stability of slopes in jointed rock masses. Therefore, the necessity of applying probabilistic analysis in these cases is inevitable. In this study a probabilistic analysis procedure together with relevant algorithms are developed using Discrete Fracture Network-Dis...

The M-transcript of human choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) produces an 82-kDa protein (82-kDa ChAT) that concentrates in nuclei of cholinergic neurons. We assessed the effects of acute exposure to oligomeric amyloid-β1-42 (Aβ1-42) on 82-kDa ChAT disposition in SH-SY5Y neural cells, finding that acute exposure to Aβ1-42 results in increased association of 82-kDa ChAT with chromatin and formation...

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and let $M$ be an $R$-module. A proper submodule $P$ of $M$ is called strongly prime submodule if $(P + Rx : M)ysubseteq P$ for $x, yin M$, implies that $xin P$ or $yin P$. In this paper, we study more properties of strongly prime submodules. It is shown that a finitely generated $R$-module $M$ is Artinian if and only if $M$ is Noetherian and every st...

the research carried out the length-length relationships (llr), length-weight relationship (lwr) and condition factor of nine freshwater small indigenous species viz. g. giuris, e . danricus, m . pancalus , l . guntea, c. fasciatus, p. sophore, h .  fossilis, c .   punctatus and m. cavasius from the waterbodies of nageshwari, bangladesh. relationships among different body lenght parameters of e...

in the present study, hydraulic properties of low pressure drip irrigation systems in lateral pipes were evaluated by mathematical model with the aid of experimental data resulting from testing of tubes available in iran. in this regard, emitters discharge were measured in different initial heads from 0.45 to 1.8 m for laterals with outside diameter of 32 mm with different lengths of 89, 60, 30...

A unitary quantum gas is a gas of quantum particles with a binary interaction of infinite scattering length and negligible range. It has been produced in recent experiments with gases of fermionic atoms by means of a Feshbach resonance. Using the Fermi pseudo-potential model for the atomic interaction, we show that the time evolution of such a gas in an isotropic three-dimensional time dependen...
