The present work describes the construction of a new modified electrode by casting the appropriate mixture of a metallocene, which has been introduced in the experimental part, as a mediator at the surface of glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The proposed modified GC electrode was used for the determination of ascorbic acid (AA) in phosphate buffer (PB) solution (pH = 4.0). When compared to bare GC...

Purpose Stachybotrys atra has achieved great notoriety recently as a mould capable of producing mycotoxin, a potentially quite harmful substance. Because of news reports, patients have become quite concerned about “mould allergy” as the cause of an increasing number of symptoms. We set out to discover what percentage of patients referred to regional Allergy clinics have become sensitized to mou...

This study presents data on some phasic EEG phenomena regulary recorded during sleep - wakefulness cycle and heterogeneity of EEG sleep stages forming consecutive human sleep macrocycles. These short-term EEG changes quite often tend to periodization, especially during initial sleep-stages and transitive states (sleep microcycles). An attempt was made to reveal EEG microstructures in sleep - wa...

Thirty years have passed since a small group of theorists began applying concepts and tools from industrial organization to the analysis of international trade. The new models of trade that emerged from that work didn’t supplant traditional trade theory so much as supplement it, creating an integrated view that made sense of aspects of world trade that had previously posed major puzzles. The “n...

The interrelation between changes in the economic structure, i.e., industrial distribution of income and labor force, and the size distribution of income i s studied in this paper in a case study of India (1951-1980). The change in the size distribution of income i s the sum of changes due to ( 1 ) inter-sectoral factors and ( 2 ) intra-sectoral factors. The need for this distinction i s emphas...

Network merges and partitions occur quite often in MANET wherein address auto-configuration is a critical requirement. There are various approaches for address auto-configuration in MANETs which allocate address to the nodes in a dynamic and distributed manner in which HOST ID and MANET ID are assigned on the basis of their Base value. MANET merges and partitions employing Cluster Based Routing...

The multichannel exact blind image deconvolution theory tells us that exact recovery of unknown blur kernels is possible from multiple measurements of an identical scene through distinct blur channels. However, in many biological applications, there often exist technical difficulties in obtaining multiple distinct blur measurements, since the image content may vary for various reasons, includin...

Despite the fact that disabling, age related hearing loss or presbycusis affects around 360 million people globally World Health Organisation, there is quite often a lengthy delay between the time an individual first notices that they are having hearing difficulties and when they actually seek help from a hearing professional [1]. So why is it that people take so long to accept that their heari...

We maintain that the intelligence of the physician and particularly of the physician engaged in clinical research is above the average of that of the community from which he comes; quite often, nevertheless, when he is presented with the simplest statistical problem, his brain appears to become completely paralysed and he is so self-conscious of the limitations of his knowledge that not only do...
