By matching boundary layer hydrodynamics with slippage to the force-free flow at larger distances, we obtain the thermophoretic mobility of charged particles as a function of the Navier slip length b. A moderate value of b augments Ruckenstein's result by a term 2b/λ, where λ is the Debye length. If b exceeds the particle size a, the enhancement coefficient a/λ is independent of b but proportio...

accurate and nondestructive methods to determine individual leaf areas of plants are useful tools in physiological and agronomic research. a determination of the individual leaf area (la) of such species in brassicaceae family as red cabbage (brassica oleracea var. cappitata l. f. rabra), cabbage (brassica oleracea var. cappitata l. f. alba) and broccoli (brassica oleracea var. italica l.) ...

In this study, B12N12 Nano ring has been selected because it consist of four 6-side rings and polar bonds B-N which in comparison with non-polar bonds C-C, is more suitable for the study of the absorption of other compounds. So reactivity and stability of Benzene alone and in the presence B12N12 nano ring field checked. To determine the non-bonded interaction energies between Benzene and B12N12...

We show that squeezed state solutions for solitonic lumps in Vacuum String Field Theory still exist in the presence of a constant B field. We show that, just as in the B = 0 case, we can write down a compact explicit form for such solutions.

In this paper, we study open-closed string field theory in the background B-field in the so-called α = p formulation. The string field theory in the infrared gives noncommutative gauge theory in the open string sector. Since this theory includes closed string fields as dynamical variables, we can obtain another string field theory in the same background through the condensation of closed string...

In this paper we consider Witten’s bosonic open string field theory in the presence of a constant background of the second-rank antisymmetric tensor field Bij. We extend the operator formulation of Gross and Jevicki in this situation and construct the overlap vertices explicitly. As a result we find a noncommutative structure of the Moyal type only in the zero-mode sector, which is consistent w...

This issue of the JABFP marks the start of its 9th year of publication and is noteworthy on several counts. WIth the specialty now 26 years, or about one generation, old, this journal's readership now totals almost 55,000 Diplomates of the American Board of Family Practice and family practice residents. That number is projected to grow by at least 3000 each year as new residency-trained graduat...

(Fam Med 2005;37(7):461-3.) Editor’s Note: In this month’s column, Sweety Jain, MD, of the Sacred Heart Hospital Family Practice Residency in Allentown, Pa, discusses important items that should be discussed with residents and students when orienting them to office practice. I welcome your comments about this feature, which is also published on the STFM Web site at www.stfm.org. I also encourag...

BACKGROUND The economic impact of a family physician practicing family medicine in rural Alabama is $1,000,000 a year in economic benefit to the community. The economic benefit of those rural family physicians practicing obstetrics has not been studied. This study was designed to determine whether there was any added economic benefit of rural family physicians practicing obstetrics in rural, un...
