The interfacial behavior of salt-type minerals such as calcite and apatite is governed to a large extent by their electrochemical properties which in turn are governed by pH and concentration of dissolved mineral species. In mixed mineral systems, the interfacial behavior of various minerals is often quite different from what might be expected on the basis of their individual properties. Predic...

Þjóðsögur geta sagt okkur margt um þau samfélög sem þær tilheyra og endurspegla á vissan hátt þann hugmyndaheim spretta úr. Í greininni eru íslenskar þjóðsögur, frá nítjándu fyrri hluta tuttugustu aldar, segja konum fara gegn ríkjandi hugmyndum barneignir móðurhlutverkið teknar til skoðunar. Annars vegar er fjallað giftar konur kjósa að eignast ekki börn hins ógiftar en bera út laun strax eftir...

A novel concept for the assay of viral antigens is described. The methodological approach is based on a membrane-engineering process involving the electroinsertion of virus-specific antibodies in the membranes of fibroblast cells. As a representative example, Vero fibroblasts were engineered with antibodies against Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and used for the construction of an ultra-sensitive ...

The higher field strength magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) such as 3 Tesla (T) and above generates noise that has potential detrimental effects on the hearing. Temporary threshold shifts following MRI examination have been reported for MRI with lower field strength. Such effect, however, have not been reported so far for a 3T MRI. We report a case that exemplifies the possible detrimental effec...

We developed a novel artificial neural network (ANN) system able to detect and classify pesticide residues. The novel ANN is coupled, in a customized way, to a cellular biosensor operation based on the bioelectric recognition assay (BERA) and able to simultaneously assay eight samples in three minutes. The novel system was developed using the data (time series) of the electrophysiological respo...

The Indian poultry sector has become a major contributor to the national economy as a result of the revolutionary and scientific approaches in avian health care management. Indian poultry industry contributes nearly Rs. 9.9 billion annually to the national economy (Mohana Subramanian et al., 2010). In India, broiler chicks are reared in deep litter system under farm condition which leads to fre...

In this paper, we consider economies in which agents are privately informed about their skills, which evolve stochastically over time. We require agents’preferences to be weakly separable between the lifetime paths of consumption and labor. However, we allow for intertemporal nonseparabilities in preferences like habit formation. We show that such nonseparabilities imply that optimal asset inco...

The fallow system is a of restoring soil fertility by leaving the uncultivated. Almost all traditional farming systems practice system. This study aims to determine chemical properties and level on Bera land in Wolokelo Village. Research with this exploratory method, sampling vegetable field without using period, period 5 years 10 years. was conducted from July October 2020. variables observed ...
