Neutrons study a number of hot topics from the field of particle physics and cosmology: Recent measurements of various mixed American-British-French-GermanHungarian-Japan-Russian groups of researchers determine the strength of the weak interaction of the neutron, which gives us unique information on quark-mixing and the question of unitarity. Much to our surprise, with neutron-decay we find a d...

Cholinergic urticaria (CU) can be defined as itching and whealing associated with exercise, hot showers, sweating, anxiety, or any other condition that increases the body’s core temperature. Cholinergic urticaria might present in a local or generalized form. The latter is characterized by the abrupt appearance of small wheals surrounded by a pronounced erythematous flare reaction beginning over...

In patients with long-standing, poorly controlled diabetes and peripheral neuropathy, a red, hot, swollen foot without open ulceration should raise the suspicion of Charcot neuroarthropathy, an often-overlooked diabetic foot complication. The authors discuss key diagnostic features and how to differentiate this condition from cellulitis, osteomyelitis, and other conditions. They review key elem...

vasomotor hot flash is the most common and distressful complication of menopausal women. its treatment is the most frequent clinical challenge. as a result, an effective and harmless therapy is needed. this double-blind controlled clinical trial was conducted to determine the effects of licorice roots on the relief and recurrence of hot flash in menopausal women referring to the healthcare cent...

Based on model and ab initio calculations we discuss the effect of resonant interface states on the conductance of epitaxial tunnel junctions. In particular we show that the ‘‘hot spots’’ found by several groups in ab initio calculations of symmetrical barriers of the ki-resolved conductance can be explained by the formation of bonding and antibonding hybrids between the interface states on bot...

The central objective of this study was to investigate the role of social appraisal in sex differences in anger expression. Anger expression was inferred from the amount of hot sauce given to the person who induced anger. Participants were randomly assigned to a social condition, in which they expected to meet this person, or to a nonsocial condition, in which they had no such expectation. Men ...

The performance of hot-forging dies, in which the die cavity is weld-deposited with a layer of modified H12 hot-work tool steel, has been studied, using a continuous monitoring of the die condition as well as macroscopic and microscopic examination. It was observed that the thickness of the hard upper ‘capping layer’ and that of an intermediate ‘buffer layer’ have a pronounced effect on the lif...

In this study, the global texture evolution in a 2 mm gauge hot band of continuous casting AA5052 aluminum alloy, annealed at 449 °C for 4 hours, was investigated. Samples were deformed to three different strain values under a near equi-biaxial stretching condition. Their textures were. The major and minor strains of these samples were measured using an automatic strain analysis system. The tex...
