Introduction Abstract. Recordings were made from the pheromone-sensitive receptor cells within antennal hairs of normal and mutant male cabbage loopers, Trichoplusia ni (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), using a cut-sensillum technique. From sampling 136 sensilla on normal males and 123 on mutant males, cells excited by pairs of behaviour ally redundant minor pheromone components were discovere...

The aim of this study was to analyse the variance of training load between male and female football and futsal players. The statistical analysis tested the variance between gender and type of sport during training sessions. Fifty-nine male and female amateur football and futsal amateur players were monitored during 48 training sessions. The heart rate (HR) responses and the percentage of time s...

In this paper, we present a comprehensive study on long-term reliability of CVD HA), gate stacks with n+-poly-Si gate electrodes. The area dependence and temperature acceleration (Z5-150°C) of TDDB, defect generation rate, and critical defect density of CVD HA), gate stacks are studied. Results show that IO year lifetime of Hm,/ n+-poly-Si gate stack (EOT=14.5.&) is projected for Vg=-Z.OV @25"C...

We develop a theory of electric-field-induced magnetization of a medium. The relevant polarizability, βCP , simultaneously violates the inversion symmetry (parity), the time-reversal symmetry, and the combined CP symmetry. We focus on two fundamental mechanisms mediating the appearance of βCP — the electric dipole moment of the electron (eEDM) and the electron-nucleus pseudo-scalar weak neutral...

Both the anterior surface of the cornea and the internal optics (the posterior cornea, crystalline lens) contribute to the aberration of a wavefront passing through the eye. Artal, Guirao, Berrio, and Williams (2001) reported that the wavefront aberrations produced by the internal optics offset, or compensate for, the aberrations produced by the cornea to reduce ocular wavefront aberrations. We...
