Our original method for the determination of the total aminoacid nitrogen’ (free plus conjugated), although it gave accurate results and has been used successfully by ourselves and others, required a somewhat cumbersome manipulation before the urines were ready for the final amino determination. After being acidified and heated in the autoclave to hydrolyze the urea, the ammonia was boiled off ...

We study the coherence trapping of a qubit correlated initially with a non-Markovian bath in a pure dephasing channel. By considering the initial qubit-bath correlation and the bath spectral density, we find that the initial qubit-bath correlation can lead to a more efficient coherence trapping than that of the initially separable qubit-bath state. The stationary coherence in the long time limi...

The relationship between microstructures and ductility parameters, including reduction of area, elongation to failure, occurrence delamination, number turns failure in torsion, hypereutectoid pearlitic steel wires was investigated. transformed at 620 °C were successively dry-drawn drawing strains from 0.40 2.38. To examine the effects hot-dip galvanizing conditions, post-deformation annealing p...
