We have performed quantum-chemical ab initio in various basis sets at the Hartree-Fock andB3LYP levels for Adenine and Thymine with the program GAUSSIAN98. The Dipole,Quadrupole, Octapole and Hexadecapole moments and primitive in nine basis sets for thesemolecules are presented. The most stabilized forms of these molecules are observed in 6-311++G** basis set. We have evaluated coefficient hybr...

Simulations and field experiments in previous works suggest that a freeway’s general purpose lanes (those not dedicated to high occupancy vehicles) discharge vehicles from bottlenecks at an equal or higher average rate when one of the lanes is devoted to high occupancy vehicles than when it is not. This result was used in these previous works to develop formulae for the total discharge rate of ...

One commonsense view of women’s employment is that working-class women have always been more likely to work for pay than other women because of their families’ need for their paycheck. But in fact, recent evidence shows higher levels of employment for highly educated women than for the less educated, despite the fact that well-educated women typically have higher earning husbands. This article ...

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to describe overcrowding in regional emergency departments in Seoul, Korea and evaluate the effect of crowdedness on ambulance turnaround time. METHODS This study was conducted between January 2010 and December 2010. Patients who were transported by 119-responding ambulances to 28 emergency centers within Seoul were eligible for enrollment. Overcrowding w...

OBJECTIVE Determine the effect that increased medical surgical (med/surg) bed occupancy has on the time interval from admission order to arrival in the bed for the patients admitted from the emergency department (ED). METHODS This retrospective observational study compares the total hospital bed occupancy rate and the medical surgical inpatient bed occupancy rate to daily averages for the tim...

After cardiac catheterisation, haemostasis is usually achieved by manual compression of the puncture site. The patient is then laid flat, allowed to sit up and then to mobilise—a process taking considerably longer than the procedure itself, and possibly involving more prolonged bed occupancy than is necessary. Well conducted, randomised, controlled trials of patient position (supine or upright)...

buildings play an important role in the energy demand sector. due to the increase of environmentalconcerns and renewable energy sources restriction, lighting control systems will play an important role in the reductionof energy consumption of the lighting without impeding comfort goals. lighting control systems can control lightingconsumption according to the type of building, adequate luminanc...

Our group recently reported that smoking a regular cigarette (1.2-1.4 mg nicotine) resulted in 88% occupancy of brain alpha4beta2* nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). However, this study did not determine whether nicotine inhalation or the many other pharmacological and behavioural factors that occur during smoking resulted in this receptor occupancy. If nicotine is solely responsible f...

Nucleosomes can block access to transcription factors. Thus the precise localization of nucleosomes relative to transcription start sites and other factor binding sites is expected to be a critical component of transcriptional regulation. Recently developed microarray approaches have allowed the rapid mapping of nucleosome positions over hundreds of kilobases (kb) of human genomic DNA, although...
