Some basic algebraic features of quasiparticle transformations are reviewed. Special nonlinear quasiparticle transformations are introduced leading to the second quantized counterparts of gerninal-type (correlated) wave functions. Algebraic representa-' tions of strong and weak orthogonality are discussed, and these issues are generalized to the case of non-orthogonal basis sets leading to the ...

Slovenia with its diverse environment is home to more than 2400 fungal species out of which especially many macromycetes have for millennia been used worldwide as natural remedies. These species of mushrooms were in the past picked from the nature, but today can be cultivated as fruiting bodies or fungal biomass on different substrates. They possess immunomodulating, antiviral, antibacterial an...

Bioethics is the use of dialog for formulating and solving moral dilemmas posed by the progress of science and technology. Concerns about the survival of life on Earth and of the relations between medicine and the humanities were the origins of bioethical thinking. From a conceptual point of view it constitutes a social process governed by emotions, a technical procedure aimed at correct decisi...

The two-step reduction of Zn ions at the dropping mercury electrode in 2, 3, and 4 mol dm NaClO4 with the addition of tert-butanol, using the impedance method in wide potential and frequency ranges was examined. An inhibiting influence of tert-butanol is shown in the used experimental systems, which increases with the rise of the base electrolytes concentration. This effect caused by NaClO4 con...

Force field calculations on conjugated molecules are discussed. The discussion is based on the experience of a series of overlay calculations, recently carried out, where the transferability of force constants was thoroughly studied. Successful applications as well as limitations of the constructed force field are described. The effects of nonbonded interactions are recognized as the most serio...

Acta Myologica is the oldest international myology journal, with its first issue published in June 1982 with the name of Cardiomyology. At present, it is the official journal of the AIM (Associazione Italiana di Miologia) and of the Mediterranean Society of Myology. Starting from the next issue (October 2016), Acta Myologica will become fully online with an electronic submission process and a c...

A new method, involving the use of paper electrophoresis is described for the study of the equilibria in mixed ligand complex systems in solution. This technique is based on the movement ef a spot of metal ion under an electric field with the complexants added in the background electrolyte at p'H = 8.5. Concentration of the primary Iigand (NTA) was kept constant while that of the secondary Iiga...
