Wikipedia (using the spelling “Bedivere”) mentions that Bedwyr appears inMonty Python and the Holy Grail where he is “portrayed a...

This study investigated the anticonvulsant activity of a new phthalazine tetrazole derivative, QUAN-0808 (6-(4-chlorophenoxy)-tetrazolo[5,1-a]phthalazine), in the mouse maximal electroshock (MES) seizure model. The neurotoxicity of QUAN-0808 was investigated using the rotarod neurotoxicity test in mice. QUAN-0808 exhibited higher activity (median effective dose, ED(50) = 6.8 mg/kg) and lower ne...

Phonons and Electron-Phonon Interactions For the calculation of phonon spectra we used density functional linear response approach implemented using LMTO basis [1, 3], which has successfully produced the lattice dynamics of solids [4] including actinides materials such as plutonium [9] and UO2 [7]. The spin–orbit coupling effect is included in this calculation. A q–grid of 6×6×6 is used to comp...

This thesis deals with an interesting application of mathematics, tear film dynamics. Our goal is to understand and simulate the various observed tear film behaviors, such as film cooling, black line formation and lipid patterns etc. During this process, we build models to describe the fluid dynamics for several blink cycles, experiment on the choices of parameters, compare the simulation with ...

in the view of quran, the standee mountains holding the layers of earth start to move and getting the anxious and exploded and even turn to dust. at the beginning of the doomsday in the researched verses they are simile to tufts of yarn. god in the many verses announced of finality of mountains that they flattened with the earth and scattered about – and like tufts of yarn are pulverized and al...
