In this paper we will study the dynamics of a non-BPS Dp-brane in the background of N BPS Dk-branes.

numerous problems encountered in real life cannot be actually formulated as a single objective problem; hence the requirement of multi-objective optimization (moo) had arisen several years ago. due to the complexities in such type of problems powerful heuristic techniques were needed, which has been strongly satisfied by swarm intelligence (si) techniques. particle swarm optimization (pso) has ...

Neotropical species of the genus Idiops Perty, 1833 are reviewed, and four new described from Brazil: I. duocordibus Fonseca-Ferreira, Guadanucci & Brescovit sp. nov., guri mocambo nov. sertania The majority redescribed based on examination types extensive material. Males petiti (Guérin, 1838), rastratus (Pickard-Cambrige, 1889), rohdei Karsch, 1886 nilopolensis Mello-Leitão, 1923, females ...

The major hydraulic phase in all the calcium aluminate cements including ciment fondue is CA (CaAl2O4). Once hydrated, it starts to form the hexagonal crystals of CAH10 and C2AH8 that depending on the time and temperature of hydration convert to the cubic crystals of C3AH6 and AH3. The nature, sequence, ...

Species of the genus Dercetina Gressitt & Kimoto, 1963 in Taiwan are revised. Dercetina azumai Gressitt and Kimoto, 1966, Dercetina itoi Kimoto, 1969, and Dercetina shirozui Kimoto, 1969 are redescribed. Dercetina chinensis (Weise, 1889), Dercetina taiwana (Chûjô, 1938), and Dercetina unifasciata (Allard, 1889) are removed from synonymy with Dercetina flavocincta (Hope, 1831). Dercetina flavoci...

Physiol. 277 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 46): R94–R103, 1999.—Plasma plateletactivating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) hydrolyzes PAF and oxidized phospholipids and is associated with lip...

Let φ(x1, . . . , xh, y) = u1x1 + · · · + uhxh + vy be a linear form with nonzero integer coefficients u1, . . . , uh, v. Let A = (A1, . . . , Ah) be an h-tuple of finite sets of integers and let B be an infinite set of integers. Define the representation function associated to the form φ and the sets A and B as follows: R (φ) A,B (n) = card ({(a1, . . . , ah, b) ∈ A1 × · · · × Ah × B : φ(a1, ....

Aim: The purpose of the study was to compare the apical seal produced by Zinc oxide eugenol sealer, calcium hydroxide based sealer (Metapex), Glass ionomer root canal sealer (Ketac Endo) and epoxy resin root canal sealer (AH Plus). Materials and methods: Biomechanical preparation using step back technique and irrigation with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite was done on 120 extracted, single rooted, no...

Abstract Background The negative effect of arterial hypertension on renal function is well known. Until present, the detrimental resistant (RAH) kidneys was not clearly defined. Purpose To assess deterioration in patients with RAH comparison to non-resistant (AH) during a long term follow-up. Methods We retrospectively reviewed records 307 followed between May 2007 and January 2019 an Hypertens...
