Using muons as a source of neutrinos can be traced back to 25 years ago but it is with the recent studies on muon colliders that this idea came back to the front of the stage. It was specifically discussed in a FNAL workshop (1997), a BNL workshop (1998) and a study group dedicated to that topic was set up at CERN in 1998. νFact99 appears as the conclusion of this preparatory work and is the fi...

OBJECTIVE To compare the traditional two injections dorsal digital block with volar block in terms of effectiveness of anaesthesia and pain of initial pinprick. STUDY DESIGN Quasi-experimental. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY AVH and casualty operation theatres, Mayo Hospital, KEMU, Lahore, from January to June 2007. METHODOLOGY Thirty patients requiring surgical procedure distal to proximal ...

hydatid disease, caused by larval stage of echinococcus granulosus, is a common parasitic infection of human and animal. although liver and lung are the most commonly affected area, hydatid cyst may develop any part of the body. primary subcutaneous hydatid cyst is extremely rare. we report a case of 54 years old man who presented with palpable mass in scapular region from 3 years ago. present ...

Sequence selective ring-opening terpolymerisation (ROTERP) allows the design of block polymerisation cascades with three distinct mechanistic cycles. Ring-opening (ROP), copolymerisation (ROCOP) and ROTERP can be combined in where onset most complex process supresses occurrence simpler ones. The furthermore enable incorporation different heteroallenes between blocks.

Amphiphilic polypeptide-containing hybrid dual brush block copolymers with controlled molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions were synthesized in one pot via ring-opening metathesis polymerization of sequentially added norbornyl-PEG and N-(2-((trimethylsilyl)amino)ethyl)-5-norbornene-endo-2,3-dicarboximide (M1) followed by ring-opening polymerization of amino acid N-carboxya...

Convolutional codes over rings behave quite differently from convolutional codes over fields, but they are the ones best suited for phase modulation. This behavior depends strongly on the structure of the underlying ring. Some basic concepts about ring convolutional codes, in particular over Zpr , and their structural properties such as basicity, systematicity, non-catastrophicity and minimalit...

We have studied the ability of nonionic detergents and hydrophilic polymers to seal permeabilized membranes of damaged cells, rescuing them from progressive dissolution, degeneration, and death. We report that a single subcutaneous injection of the tri-block copolymer, Poloxamer 188 (P188) 6 hr after a severe compression of the adult guinea pig spinal cord is able to: (1). preserve the anatomic...

Leydig cells isolated from the testes of rats treated with intravenous exogenous gonadotropin (hCG) or subcutaneous gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) show markedly decreased luteinizing hormone (LH) receptors and a partial block in testicular 17,20 desmolase activity. In contrast, Leydig cells from animals with equivalent degrees of LH receptor loss induced by subcutaneous hCG treatment sho...
