structural analysis of remotely sensed data provides a method of assessing the structural significance of large-magnitude regional metallogenesis in the kerman porphyry cu belt in the southern part of the central iranian volcanic belt. the role of large-magnitude ring structures in the distribution of hydrothermal alteration zones and porphyry copper deposits in the southern part of the kerman ...

Abstract: Alteration of a geometry parameter in the cross section of a dielectric waveguide with piecewise constant permittivity profile can be regarded as a refractive index perturbation in a layer along a dielectric discontinuity line. Starting from these thin layer perturbations, we derive explicit expressions for partial derivatives of propagation constants with respect to the transverse wa...

Through alteration of the structure of a colorimetric resonant optical biosensor, the relative contribution of surface-binding effects to bulk refractive index effects can be influenced to favor detection of material in direct proximity to the sensor surface structure. The sequential buildup of polyelectrolyte monolayers has been used as a characterization method for determining the sensitivity...

A benzhydryl tropinone oxime that is potently toxic to Trypanosoma cruzi has been previously identified. An SAR investigation determined that no part of the original compound was superfluous and all early SAR probes led to significant drops in activity. The only alteration that could be achieved without loss of activity was replacement of the aryl chloride substituent with chloro homologues. Th...

northwest of shir-kuh batholith, a number of leucocratic granitic and granodioritic plutons have intruded sedimentary hosts including shale-sandstone (triassic-jurassic) and sandstone-conglomerate (lower cretaceous). contact metamorphism and hydrothermal alterations are widespread. late alteration assemblage mainly occurs in arkosic sandstones of sangestan formation and includes propylitic, qua...

Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy employs light at red and near-infrared wavelengths to modulate biological activity. The therapeutic effect of PBM for the treatment or management several diseases injuries has gained significant popularity among researchers clinicians, especially oral complications cancer therapy. This entry focuses on current evidence use a frequent complication due therapy—tas...

In order to elucidate the relationship between bile acid pool size and cholesterol saturation index of fasting state gall bladder bile, we artificially depleted the bile acid pool in 12 healthy volunteers. Bile acid pool size decreased from 7.6 +/- 0.9 to 5.8 +/- 0.7 mmol (mean +/- SEM, p less than 0.01), and saturation index of fasting state gall bladder bile increased from 0.93 +/- 0.07 to 1....
