We show that the solid-solid friction between bulk chiral molecular solids can depend on the relative chirality of the two materials. In menthol and 1-phenyl-1-butanol, heterochiral friction is smaller than homochiral friction, while in ibuprofen, heterochiral friction is larger. Chiral asymmetries in the coefficient of sliding friction vary with temperature and can be as large as 30%. In the t...

OBJECTIVES We examined the contextual effect of workplace social capital on systolic blood pressure (SBP). DESIGN Cross-sectional. SETTING A conglomerate from 58 workplaces in Japan. PARTICIPANTS Of the 5844 workers at a Japanese conglomerate from 58 workplaces, 5368 were recruited. Individuals who received drugs for hypertension (n=531) and who lacked information on any variable (n=167) ...

In recent years enterprise integration has become an important theme in information systems research and practice. Enterprise integration pervades enterprise resource planning (ERP), supply chain management (SCM), and customer resource management (CRM) systems and applications. However, much IS research in this area seems to assume that enterprise integration is inevitable and that enterprise i...

Voltage-dependent sodium channels were studied in dissociated cerebellar Purkinje neurons from rats. In whole-cell recordings, a tetrodotoxin (TTX)-sensitive inward current was elicited when the membrane was repolarized to voltages between -60 and -20 mV after depolarizations to +30 mV long enough to produce maximal inactivation. At -40 mV, this "resurgent" current peaked in 8 msec and decayed ...

The European Commission (EC) declared in July 2001 the merger between General Electric (GE) and Honeywell “incompatible with the common market”. The EC argument supposed that dominant position created or strengthened by horizontal overlaps and vertical and conglomerate integration, as a result of which effective competition would be significantly impeded, would end in the monopolization of some...

The granularity distribution of mine dump materials has received extensive attention as an essential research basis for stability and land reclamation. Image analysis is widely used the fastest most efficient method to obtain materials. This article proposes a deep learning-based approach detection identification material, conglomerate, clay. Firstly, Conglomerate Clay Dataset (CCD) proposed st...

STM brings to light chirality aspects of the self-assembly of a functionalized helicene at the interface between a liquid and the solid substrates, gold and graphite. This reveals conditions for conglomerate formation.
