Recently data from PAMELA, ATIC, FERMI-LAT and HESS show that there are e excesses in the cosmic ray energy spectrum. PAMELA observed excesses only in e, but not in anti-proton spectrum. ATIC, FERMI-LAT and HESS observed excesses in e + e spectrum, but the detailed shapes are different which requires future experimental observations to pin down the correct data set. Nevertheless a lot of effort...

Radioactive disequilibrium of 23Su nuclides is commonly observed in young lavas and has often been used to infer the rates of melting and melt migration. However, previous calculations do not actually include melt transport. Here we explore the behaviour of short-lived radionuclides in a new calculation that includes the fluid dynamics of melt segregation. We emphasize that series disequilibriu...

Extrapolation procedures are shown to be useful for obtaining kinetic parameters from irreversible enzymic reactions in which there are two intermediates, under both single-turnover and steady-state conditions. Small excesses of one component are treated as if they were large excesses, which is convenient in practice. The method has also been applied to a non-enzymic reversible bimolecular reac...

Rare earth element (REE) concentrations were determined in 32 rainfall events collected in suburban Tokyo. Two or more samples were collected for 13 events out of 32 events. A pre-concentration method was applied using a chelate resin solid phase extraction column. Good and uniform recoveries for REEs (Y to Lu, 99~101% at pH = 3.7~4.0) were obtained. Detection limits reached as low as 0.001 ng ...

data envelopment analysis (dea) has been applied in many studies in the banking industry but deficiency of empirical studies in iranian banking sector that incorporate time factor into the efficiency, have still remained. previous studies measured the efficiency of bank branches in a single period within cross-sectional data. they did not consider the effect of interconnecting activities (links...
