Abstract In this paper, a controlled-laboratory experiment is carried out to evaluate the lidar depolarization ratio of freshly emitted soot aggregates in exact backward scattering direction at 180.0°. The performed two wavelengths simultaneously, namely 355 and 532 nm, often used polarimetric remote sensing. are generated from kerosene JET A-1 pool fire laboratory ambient air microscopic image...

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is one of the consequences impaired functioning acetylcholine which can be hydrolyzed by enzyme acetylcholinesterase. treatment carried out using two approaches, namely compounds (acetylcholinesterase inhibitors) and noncholinergics (antioxidants). There are commercial drugs that slow progression Alzheimer's, but their use cause excessive side effects. The herbal plants...

The clotting cascade plays an essential role in hemostasis but also contributes to many pathological processes, such as thrombosis. The cascade can be divided into 2 major phases: initiation and amplification (Figure). The initiation phase is triggered by the tissue factor/factor VIIa complex (known as the extrinsic pathway) and generates small amounts of thrombin that activates cofactors (FVII...

This paper tries to analyze effects of trade and financial liberalizations on the Iran’s government size during both long-run and short- run. Accordingly, a specification of the auto regression with distributed lag (ARDL) has been used for investigating the long run relationships between variables, and a vector correction model (VECM) has examined dynamically the short-run relationships betwe...

This paper evaluates the impact of global external rebalancing on Developing Asia and the rest of the world using a multi-country multi-sector quantitative model of production and trade. Developing Asia countries currently running a trade surplus (such as People’s Republic of China or Malaysia) see a substantial rise in relative wages and an appreciation in the real exchange rate. They also see...

Venous thrombosis (VT) is a common multifactorial disease with a genetic component that was first suspected nearly 60 years ago. In this review, we document the genetic determinants of the disease, and update recent findings delivered by the application of high-throughput genotyping and sequencing technologies. To date, 17 genes have been robustly demonstrated to harbour genetic variations asso...

5 Using novel estimates of sectoral total factor productivities for 72 countries across 5 6 decades we provide evidence of relative productivity convergence: productivity grew 7 systematically faster in initially relatively less productive sectors. These changes have 8 had a significant impact on trade volumes and patterns, and a non-negligible welfare 9 impact. Had productivity in each country...

UNLABELLED The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Proteome Comparison Database (MTB-PCDB) is an online database providing integrated access to proteome sequence comparison data for five strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv, H37Ra, CDC 1551, F11 and KZN 1435) sequenced completely so far. MTB-PCDB currently hosts 40252 protein sequence comparison data obtained through inter-strain proteome compar...

The lifetime of 1.3 lm emission from Dy-doped Ge–As–S glass containing very small amount of Ga and CsBr reveals interesting temperature dependence; with the addition of Ga/CsBr up to 0.2 mol% the lifetime decreases with increasing temperature. When the concentration of Ga/CsBr reaches 0.3 mol%, however, the lifetime remains relatively constant regardless of temperature change. For further addit...
