The high-temperature/high-pressure treatment of the K-Te-U oxo-family at 1100 °C and 3.5 GPa results in the crystallization of a series of novel uranyl tellurium compounds, K2[(UO2)3(TeIVO3)4], K2[(UO2)TeO14], α-K2[(UO2)TeVIO5] and β-K2[(UO2)TeVIO5]. In contrast to most of the reported uranyl compounds which are favorable in layered structures, we found that under extreme conditions, the potass...

Discovering hidden features in a representation without being fixated to a single perspective of viewing it is one of the crucial acts in creative activities. The process of designing through conceptual sketches is no exception; designers should be able to discover in an unexpected way visual/spatial features of sketched elements which were not intended when the elements were being sketched. Ho...

Currently, ‘dark tourism’ is gaining popularity as a new tourism concept. Dark tourism is different from simple leisure, and its purpose is based on the succession of local grief or praying for dead people. ICT can be made more effective by optimising the potential of dark tourism. In this study, dark tourism will be analysed in terms of ICT.

Background: In order to improve the evaluation of possible rectal toxicity based on the rectal normal tissue complication probability (NTCP), we consider the fractional dependence of the NTCP on the wall thickness (tW) and rectal displacement (RM). Materials and Methods: The two-dimensional NTCP model (NTCP2D) was developed using radiotherapy plans of ten randomly selected patients with prostat...

The curse of ancient Egyptian DNA was lifted by a recent study which sequenced the mitochondrial genomes (mtGenome) of 90 ancient Egyptians from the archaeological site of Abusir el-Meleq. Surprisingly, these ancient inhabitants were more closely related to those from the Near East than to contemporary Egyptians. It has been accepted that the timeless highway of the Nile River seeded Egypt with...

2. Definition of the join (Ki, K2) of Ki and K2. To define the join of two complexes we first define the join (o-, r) of a ^-dimensional simplex a and a g-dimensional simplex r, p, <7 = 0, 1, • • • . This join is a (£+<Z + l)-dimensional simplex with a ^-dimensional side associated with a and the opposite side, which is ^-dimensional, associated with r. These sides will not be distinguished fro...

Objective: The primary aim of this study was measure and compare the axial length (AXL), keratometric indices (K1, K2) anterior chamber depth (ACD) by biometric devices; IOL Master OB 820, to seek evidence on level agreement for these parameters between two devices.&#x0D; Study Design: Quasi-experimental study.&#x0D; Place Duration Study: Armed Forces Institute Ophthalmology, Rawalpindi Pakista...

A vertex irregular total k-labeling of a graph G with vertex set V and edge set E is an assignment of positive integer labels {1, 2, ..., k} to both vertices and edges so that the weights calculated at vertices are distinct. The total vertex irregularity strength of G, denoted by tvs(G)is the minimum value of the largest label k over all such irregular assignment. In this paper, we study the to...

A binary sequence satisfies a one-dimensional (d; k) run length constraint if every run of zeros has length at least d and at most k. A two-dimensional binary pattern is (d1; k1; d2; k2)-constrained if it satisfies the one-dimensional (d1; k1) run length constraint horizontally and the one-dimensional (d2; k2) run length constraint vertically. For given d1; k1; d2, and k2, the asymmetric two-di...
