For the first time, center vortices are identified on SU(3) lattice ensembles that include dynamical fermions. Using a variational method, static quark potential is calculated untouched, vortex-removed, and vortex-only fields. Two one pure gauge ensemble studied, allowing for an exploration of impact fermions center-vortex vacuum. Novel modifications to standard Coulomb term introduced describe...

Determining the identity of cells of the immune system usually involves destructive fixation and chemical staining, or labeling with fluorescently labeled antibodies recognising specific cell surface markers. Completely label-free identification would be a significant advantage in conditions where untouched cells are a priority. We demonstrate here the use of Wavelength Modulated Raman Spectros...

the effect of soil and phanerogam characteristics on bryophytes composition, richness, abundance and functional groups were investigated in order to understand the factors responsible for bryophytes distribution patterns. three different sand dunes were selected: untouched, artificial sod-covered and planted by ammophila. along 10 transects perpendicular to the shore, a total of 142 permanent r...

we studied 11 gaps covered with beech saplings (< 1.30 m tall) in a reserve compartment (compartment 139, district one, langa forest, watershed 36: kazemrood) of the caspian beech forest in n iran. two transects, each 2 m wide, were laid along the longest (n-s) and shortest (e-w) axis of each gap. five micro sample plots, each 4 m2, were established: one at the center, and one at each corner. q...

We introduce a new concept of modeling timed behavior in pi-calculus by representing timed actions (or timers) as interactions between application processes and clock processes. This approach extends the original calculus in a manner such that bisimulation arrangements in pi-calculus remain untouched.

BACKGROUND We have previously shown that TNFα and IL-1β differentially regulate the inflammatory phenotype of human brain endothelial cells (hCMVECs). In this regard, IL-1β treatment was considerably more potent than TNFα at increasing expression of inflammatory chemokines and leukocyte adhesion molecules. We therefore hypothesised that interaction of the hCMVECs with human monocytes would also...

I should like to make it clear from the outset of this discussion that I am not an advocate of compulsory notification and treatment, because I do not believe that such a system could do more than touch the fringe of these problems. It would bring under treatment those persons who submitted themselves for examination and those who were " found out ", leaving untouched the bulk of those who fear...

In the paper, we show that lineage data collected during the processing and analysis of datasets can be reused to perform selective reprocessing (at sub-image level) on datasets while the remainder of the dataset is untouched, a rather difficult process to automate without lineage.

Finely-tuned ruthenium-catalyzed highly chemoselective and enantioselective hydrogenation of γ-halo-γ,δ-unsaturated-β-keto esters at the carbonyl group was achieved under neutral reaction conditions (ee up to 97%). Both olefin and alkenyl halogen moieties, which are labile under hydrogenation conditions, remained untouched during the reaction.
