To evaluate the effect of acupuncture on the severity of withdrawal reaction during rapid opiate detoxification (ROD), forty adult male subjects addicted to opioids and scheduled for ROD by naloxone were randomly divided into acupuncture and control groups. In the acupuncture group during three consecutive days immediately before induction of ROD, body acupuncture was performed while in the con...

The paper proposes the automatic opening and closing blinds’ structure. There is a bearing support seat located at the bottom of the inner beam to let the link rod set the position. Also, there are a front thread and a reversed thread, and a screw driven device on both sides of the link rod. Moreover, at the lateral end of the front and reversed threads, they are equipped with the holder of the...

In this work, rod-like NiOF-1 is synthesized and converted into hollow NiOF-1-Fe with etching effect. After pyrolysis, FeNi 3 particles within in situ formed carbon nanotubes on nanorods are proposed as an efficient OER electrocatalyst.

It is shown that under the influence of an autosomal meiotic mutant that causes abnormalities in meiotic centromere function (mei-S332), ring-X chromosomes are frequently nonrecoverable. Evidence is presented that this nonrecoverability is caused by a failure of sister ring-chromatids to successfully effect an equational separation with resultant dominant lethality. Because mei-S332 results in ...

Liquid crystal micro-particles are functional materials possessing optical and dielectric anisotropies originating from the arrangement of rod-like molecules within the particles. Although they can be switched by an electric field, particles dispersed in isotropic hosts usually cannot return to their original state, because there is no restoration force acting on the particles. Here, we describ...
