We consider a few topics in E11 approach to superstring/M-theory: even subgroups (Z2 orbifolds) of En, n=11,10,9 and their connection to Kac-Moody algebras; EE11 subgroup of E11 and coincidence of one of its weights with the l1 weight of E11, known to contain brane charges; possible form of supersymmetry relation in E11; decomposition of l1 w.r.t. the SO(10, 10) and its square root at first few...

Evidence for temperature-dependent electron band dispersion in a pentacene thin film polymorph on graphite is provided by angle- and energy-dependent ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. The bands derived from the highest occupied molecular orbital exhibit dispersion of approximately 190 meV at room temperature, and approximately 240 meV at 120 K. Intermolecular electronic coupling in pentac...

Graphite-like carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is considered as a promising candidate for energy materials. In this work, the biaxial strain (?4%–4%) effects on piezoelectric properties of g-C3N4 monolayer are studied by density functional theory (DFT). It found that increasing can reduce elastic coefficient C11-C12, and increases stress e11, which lead to enhanced d11. Compared unstrained one, 4% raise...

We have analyzed the effect of triiodothyronine and the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate on expression of the transformed phenotype, as monitored by agar clonigenicity, in a single cell clone of type 5 adenovirus-transformed Sprague-Dawley rat embryo cells, E11, and a nude mouse tumor-derived E11 subclone, E11-NMT. When grown in medium devoid of thyroid hormone, the cloning e...

AB S T R A C T : The Fourier transform Raman spectra of the kaolinite minerals have been measured in the 50-3800 cm -1 region using near infrared spectroscopy. Kaolinites are characterized by remarkably intense bands in the 120-145 cm -I region. These bands, attributed to the O-Si--O and O-A1-O symmetric bending modes, are both polymorph and orientation dependent. The 200-1200 cm -I spectral ra...

INTRODUCTION Diagnoses and medical procedures collected under the French system of information are recorded in a nationwide database, the "PMSI national database", which is accessible for exploitation. Quality of the data in this database is directly related to the quality of coding, which can be of poor quality. Among the proposed methods for the exploitation of health databases, data mining t...

Sex steroids are known to have an influence on the distribution, metabolism and accretion of adipose tissue. These steroids carry out their function via specific receptors. We have previously reported the presence of oestrogen and progesterone receptors in sheep adipose tissues. In this study, we have tested the subcellular distribution of androgen receptor (AR) in sheep omental adipose tissue....

Chicken meat is a valuable source of protein and consumption of it continues to rise day to day. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the genetic homogeneity of Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) isolates obtained from chicken carcasses and human. Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) PCR with three different primers were used to analyze the 31 L. monocytogenes isolates ...
