We present high-precision measurements of the Nusselt number N as a function of the Rayleigh number R for a cylindrical sample of water (Prandtl number sigma=4.4) of height L approximately equal to 50 cm and aspect ratio Gamma identical with D/L approximately equal to 1 (D is the diameter) for 3 x 10(9)< or =R< or =6 x 10(10). For R approximately 3 x 10(9) the data are consistent with existing ...

Abstract Background and Aims Persistent hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is a frequent problem, especially during the first year after Renal transplant (RTx). We aimed to evaluate possible association between parathormone (PTH) levels 1st of RTx long-term graft loss (GL) in patients (RTx-p). Method retrospectively evaluated 871 RTx-p, transplanted our unit from 2004 2020. measured main renal function ...

BACKGROUND As the most abundant renewable resources, lignocellulosic materials are ideal candidates as alternative feedstock for bioethanol production. Cassava residues (CR) are byproducts of the cassava starch industry which can be mixed with lignocellulosic materials for ethanol production. The presence of lignin in lignocellulosic substrates can inhibit saccharification by reducing the cellu...

BACKGROUND Fabry disease (FD) is a genetic disorder resulting from deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A), which leads to globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) accumulation in multiple tissues. We report on the safety and pharmacodynamics of migalastat hydrochloride, an investigational pharmacological chaperone given orally at 150 mg every-other-day. METHODS Two open-label unco...

background: gastric lavage (gl) is one of the most commonly used decontamination method for cholinergic insecticide ingestion in developing countries despite lack of supporting evidence. this study was designed to evaluate the outcome of patients with cholinergic insecticide poisoning treated with gl in regards to timing and frequency of the procedure. methods: in this prospective observational...

1. The objectives of this study were to (1) quantify experimentally in vivo changes in pennation angle, fibre length and muscle thickness in the triceps surae complex in man in response to changes in ankle position and isometric plantarflexion moment and (2) compare changes in the above muscle architectural characteristics occurring in the transition from rest to a given isometric plantarflexio...

Background & Aims: Date syrup is a natural sweetener rich in antioxidants. In addition, fructose is the predominant sugar in date syrup, which elevates blood glucose at a slower pace than the other types of sugar. The objective of this study was to evaluate the glycemic response of healthy persons to dietetic sour cherry jam prepared with date syrup. Methods: In this clinical trial, the glycemi...

A main purpose of this paper is to explain how the theory of higher spin fields in flat D = 4 space and in AdS4 emerges as a result of the quantization of a superparticle propagating in so called tensorial superspaces which have the property of a ‘generalized conformal’ or simply General Linear (GL) flatness.

where tE:R and I is the unit matrix of degree d. Let GL(K, d) denote the group of all nonsingular matrices of degree d with coefficients in K. Any subgroup of GL(K, d) will be called a linear group of degree d. Let 0 be the identity representation of a linear Lie group G with the Lie algebra 8 so that 9(x) =x (*EG). Then dd is a faithful representation of g and exp dd(X) =0(exp X) =exp X for an...

1 Description The Periodicity Theorem was proved by Raoul Bott over fifty years ago (cf. survey [3], [4], [9]) and quickly became one of the strongest tools in homotopy theory, topology of manifolds and global analysis. The original theorem asserted that homotopy groups of the linear groups GL(n,F) where F is the field of real, complex or quaternion numbers are periodic i.e. πi(GL(k,F) ' πi+nF(...
