Introduction: Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a chemical often used as a solvent for waterinsoluble drugs. In this study, we evaluated the effect of intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of DMSO on neural response characteristics (in 1200–1500 μm depth) of the rat barrel cortex. Methods: DMSO solution was prepared in 10% v/v concentration and injected into the later...

Atomic bomb/Leukemia/Threshold/FAB classification/Chromosome Characteristic features of leukemia among atomic bomb survivors were studied. The ratio of a single leukemia type to all leukemias was highest for CML in Hiroshima, and the occurrence of CML was thought to be most characteristic for atomic bomb radiation induced leukemia. In the distribution of AML subtypes of FAB classification, ther...

However, there has been little discussion on such questions as why Hiroshima is regarded as a symbol of peace or how should we interpret the historical meaning of the drop of the atomic bomb. When the Smithsonian Institute cancelled an exhibit on the atomic bomb scheduled in 1995, many Japanese citizens were surprised to know that there is still a huge gap between the interpretation of the drop...

Cancer Therapy In article number 2007778, Lin Li, Shao Q. Yao, Wei Huang, and co-workers review the different mitochondria-targeting functional units (Mito-Bomb), various cancer treatment strategies that target mitochondria. picture, commander (scientist or doctor) controls “Mito-Bomb”, which indicates accurate destruction of mitochondria in tumor cells to achieve precise tumors.

Performance studies of the CMS barrel muon system carried out at INFN Bologna are described in detail. The expected muon momentum resolution and trigger efficiency are calculated for different configurations of the measuring superlayers. The emphasis here is not on the absolute response, but rather on the comparison of the various configurations. ) On leave from INRNE, Sofia, Bulgaria

We consider the interaction of two enemy nations. Nation 1 wants to develop a nuclear bomb (or other weapons of mass destruction). Nation 2 wants to prevent such a development through the deterrence of a threatened attack, or an actual attack if it thought the bomb was produced. 2 has an intelligence system that imperfectly indicates the presence of a bomb. 1, if lacking the bomb, can open its ...

The Navy has identified the need for a system capable of simultaneously breaching obstacles and clearing mines, in-stride, from over the horizon, during an amphibious assault. In response to the obstacle-breaching concern, the Enhanced Bomb Effects for Obstacle Clearance program was started. The purpose of the NSWCDD/CSS Bomb Effects program is to study and identify the damage mechanisms of obs...

In this paper, a simulation is used to examine the sensitivity of enhanced laser-guided bombs to errors in the navigation system of the delivery aircraft. Three possible weapon configurations are considered: a laser-guided bomb with an autonomous inertial navigation system, a laserguided bomb with a loosely-coupled inertial navigation system and global positioning system, and a standard laser-g...

After the combustions, the phosphoric acid was, in fact, in aqueous solution, so that a correction for the heat of solution was necessary. These combustions were made in a static bomb, and as a result the concentration of phosphoric acid probably varied considerably in different parts of the bomb, leading to the comparatively large error of ±O·l per cent, associated with the heats of combustion...
