Coated conductors with magnetic substrates are thin multilayer structures; their high aspect ratio and nonlinear material properties present significant difficulties for numerical simulation. Using the width-to-thickness of coated we derive an integral formulation a model based on infinitely approximation superconducting layer quasistatic shell substrate. The proposed describes electromagnetic ...

It is hypothesized that the immediate-early (IE) gene products of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) and the transactivator (TAT) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) regulate HIV-1 gene expression through mechanisms involving host cell factors. By using transient transfection assays with the gene for chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) under the transcriptional control of the HIV-1 long...

purpose: to determine the distribution of intraocular pressure (iop), central corneal thickness (cct), and vertical cup-to-disc ratio (vcdr) in a healthy iranian population. methods: this cross-sectional, epidemiologic study (yazd eye study, yes) was performed on iranian adults, aged 40 to 80 years, residing in yazd, iran between 2010 and 2011. eligible subjects were selected using cluster rand...

Blood pressure readings were collected from 1042 adult females of rural and urban Jat Sikh community of Punjab, a north Indian State. Anthropometric measurements like height, weight and skinfold thickness were also collected. The difference between rural and urban females in systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure was found to be statistically significant. All anthropometric variab...

This is the first study on the free vibrational behavior of sandwich panels with flexible core in the presence of smart sheets of oil which is capable of the excitation of magnetic field. In order to model the core, the improved high order theory of sandwich sheets was used by a polynomial with unknown coefficients first degree shear theory was used for the sheets. The derived equations based o...

PURPOSE To report the findings in three cases in which the average foveal thickness was increased after a thin epiretinal membrane (ERM) was removed by vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. METHODS The foveal contour was normal preoperatively in all eyes. All cases underwent successful phacovitrectomy with ILM peeling for a thin ERM. The optical coherence tomography (OCT) ...

A first-principles account of the observed limiting thickness of oxide films formed on aluminum during oxidizing conditions is presented. The results uncover enhanced bonding of oxygen to thin alumina films in contact with metallic aluminum that stems from charge transfer between a reconstructed oxide-metal interface and the adsorbed molecules. The first-principles results are compared with the...

BACKGROUND Mixed effects logistic models have become a popular method for analyzing multicenter clinical trials with binomial data. However, the statistical properties of these models for testing homogeneity of odds ratios under various conditions, such as within-center and among-centers inequality, are still unknown and not yet compared with those of commonly used tests of homogeneity. METHO...

thin film phthalocyanines(pc), incloding zinc, iron, and magnesium phthalocyani-nes, were prepared by vacuum deposition method. chronocoulometry was used to study the charge transfer reaction mechanism of ionic species through the thin films. the results obtained in chronocoulometric studies shows that the thin film phthalocyanines could operate via two mechanisms.the first mechanism metal pc t...

OBJECTIVES Our aim was to analyse the evolution of HIV-1 2-long terminal repeat (2-LTR) circular DNA in vitro and ex vivo in the presence of raltegravir. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-five patients starting a raltegravir-based regimen were included. Total HIV-1 DNA and 2-LTR DNA were quantified at baseline and in follow-up samples up to month 12. The effect of raltegravir on the formation of 2-...
