Intercalation of polyatomic molecules into a superconductor can drastically affect the properties of the compound. A mechanism responsible for a large increase in Tc for such systems is proposed. It explains the recent remarkable observation of high Tc superconductivity in the hole-doped C60/CHX3 (X≡Cl,Br) compounds and the large shift in their Tc upon Cl→Br substitution. The increase in Tc is ...

Pertechnetate, (99)Tc(VII)O(4)(-), is a highly mobile radionuclide contaminant at US Department of Energy sites that can be enzymatically reduced by a range of anaerobic and facultatively anaerobic microorganisms, including Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, to poorly soluble Tc(IV)O(2(s)). In other microorganisms, Tc(VII)O(4)(-) reduction is generally considered to be catalysed by hydrogenase. Here, ...

We introduce the design of a set of code sequences tC n : n ě 1,m ě 1u, with memory order m and code-length N “ Opφq, where φ P p1, 2s is the largest real root of the polynomial equation F pm, ρq “ ρm ́ρm ́1 ́1 and φ is decreasing in m. tC n u is based on the channel polarization idea, where tC n u coincides with the polar codes presented by Arıkan in [1] and can be encoded and decoded with comple...

Background: We evaluated whether measurement of vitamin B12-saturated transcobalamin (holo-TC) concentrations or TC saturation (holo-TC:total TC) reflects active vitamin B12 absorption in healthy individuals and patients after vitamin B12 intake. Methods: We obtained blood samples from 31 healthy individuals (age range, 25–57 years) before (days 1 and 0) and after (days 1, 2, and 6) oral admini...

Technetium metal and Tc-Ru alloys were characterised to build a database of the Tc metal target for transmutation. The lattice parameters of Tc-Ru alloys including Tc and Ru metals measured by X-ray diffraction decrease with increasing Ru concentration. The thermal conductivity of Tc-Ru alloys including Tc and Ru metals was determined by the thermal diffusivity measured by the laser flash metho...

An adherent cell line, termed TC-1, has been isolated from long-term liquid culture of murine marrow cells by repeated exposure of the adherent cells to 0.1% trypsin. This is an alkaline phosphatase-positive cell line showing variable staining with acid phosphatase and alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase. On electron microscopy, the cells have moderate amounts of rough endoplasmic reticulum and var...

We have studied the field at which superconductivity nucleates in grain-aligned samples of Y1Ba2Cu3O7-δ very close to the transition temperature Tc. For the field parallel to the c axis and for temperatures within 2 K of Tc, the nucleation field is found to vary as (1-T/Tc)1/2. The data suggest that superconductivity localized near twin boundaries may exist at temperatures close to Tc. .AE

BACKGROUND We evaluated whether measurement of vitamin B(12)-saturated transcobalamin (holo-TC) concentrations or TC saturation (holo-TC:total TC) reflects active vitamin B(12) absorption in healthy individuals and patients after vitamin B(12) intake. METHODS We obtained blood samples from 31 healthy individuals (age range, 25-57 years) before (days -1 and 0) and after (days 1, 2, and 6) oral...

Objective. The objective of this study was to describe the efficacy of sodium thiosulphate (STS) in tumoral calcinosis (TC). Methods. The methodology involved the reporting of four retrospective case reports of TC complicating end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Results. We investigated STS treatment in four patients (two men; ages 46 70 years) with TC. ESRD was secondary to nephronophthisis (n = 1...

The distinction between tubular carcinomas (TC) and invasive well-differentiated (grade 1) ductal carcinoma (IDC) is important given treatment and prognostic differences. Studies have described a strong association between flat epithelial atypia (FEA) and TC. The incidence of FEA associated with grade 1 IDC is not well established. The aim of the present study was to assess morphology and intra...
