Objective: To study the protective effect of polyprenols on acute liver injury induced by CCl4 and D-Gal. Method: The acute liver injury model induced by 0.5% CCl4 in olive oil (10ml/kg) and D-Gal (800mg/kg, i.p.) in mice and rats respectively. 10, 40 and 160 mg/kg polyprenols was administered i.g., to study the protective effect for different doses of polyprenols, the therapeutic effect of eac...

A good understanding of the thermal hydraulic conditions resulting from steam-hydrogen releases in nuclear reactor containments is required for all aspects of accident management and for the design of mitigation measures. The GASFLOW II code has been developed at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (FZK) for analysis of such scenarios. It solves the three dimensional compressible transient Navier Stoke...

This article describes an accurate subPico flowmeter bifurcatedin to liquid and gas flowrates less than 1mol/s for both MEMS/NEMS and cryogenic technology applications. The MEMS/NEMS are described as either two Gauges (instrument), or quartz fluctuating forks, even if the liquid or gas flows through an element, as well as cryogenic technology consisting of arrays of e...

Let A be a Coxeter arrangement of rank ℓ. In 1987 Orlik, Solomon and Terao conjectured that for every 1≤d≤ℓ, the first d exponents – when listed in increasing order are realized as free restriction to some intersection reflecting hyperplanes dimension d. This conjecture does follow from rather extensive case-by-case studies by Orlik 1992 1993, where they show all restrictions arrangements free....

this article describes an accurate subpico flowmeter bifurcatedin to liquid and gas flowrates less than 1mol/s for both mems/nems and cryogenic technology applications. the mems/nems are described as either two gauges (instrument), or quartz fluctuating forks, even if the liquid or gas flows through an element, as well as cryogenic technology consisting of arrays of either parallel photonic cry...

We comment on a recent paper by Weiser et al. [Phys. Rev. C 54, 1930 (1996)]. The authors have neglected the effect of systematic errors when making comparisons with the Karlsruhe-Helsinki (KH) partial-wave analysis. This exaggerates the discrepancy between the KH analysis and the new analyzing power data. The S31 phase shift implied by this new data depends on the type of analysis. Different r...

1 Abstract We present the results of several surveys for supernovae (SNe) in galaxy clusters. SNe discovered in deep, archival HST images were used to measure the cluster SN Ia rate to z = 1. A search for SNe in nearby (0.06 ≤ z ≤ 0.2) Abell galaxy clusters yielded 15 SNe, 12 of which were spectroscopically confirmed. Of these, 7 are cluster SNe Ia, which we will use to measure the SN Ia rate i...
