We present the results of a Keck spectroscopic study of globular clusters associated with the Virgo Cluster dwarf elliptical VCC 1386. We analyze blue spectroscopic absorption lines from 3500-5500 Å for 13 globular cluster candidates and confirm that five are associated with VCC 1386. By comparing metal and Balmer line indices of these globular clusters with α-enhanced single stellar population...

Two of the intriguing questions in immunology, which in many instances may be related, are the mechanisms by which the vast array of immunoglobulin diversity is generated and the structure of antigenic determinants associated with these molecules. It is now clear that several processes contribute to immunoglobulin diversity. First, there are an apparently large number of both light (L) ~ and he...

The objective of the present study was to determine the effects of exercise continued until the anaerobic threshold on balance performance in basketball players. Twelve male basketball players (age = 20.92 ± 2.81 years, body height = 192.72 ± 7.61 cm, body mass = 88.09 ± 8.41 kg, training experience = 7.17 ± 3.10 years) volunteered to participate in this study. A Kinesthetic Ability Trainer (KA...

Recent CLEO results on the search for CP violation in decays of B and D mesons and τ lepton are reviewed. New data on “wrong-sign” D decays and B → K(∗)l+l− FCNC transitions are presented. As possible Standard Model contribution to many of studied processes is tiny, described efforts constitute the search for physics beyond the Standard Model. Future CLEO-c efforts on the subject are outlined.

background: threatened abortion is a common complication of pregnancy. in order to prevent miscarriage in the cases with threatened abortion, this study was conducted to determine whether progesterone suppository is effective in allowing pregnancy to proceed beyond week 20 in women with threatened abortion. methods: this single-blind clinical trial study was done on 60 pregnant women with threa...
