The mutual relation between quantum Micro and classical Macro is clarified by a unified formulation of instruments describing measurement processes and the associated amplification processes, from which some perspective towards a description of emergence processes of spacetime structure is suggested. 1 Sectors as Quantum-Classical Boundary To fix the setting of my discussion, let me start from ...

OBJECTIVE Insulin lispro (Humalog), a human insulin analog, has a more rapid onset, earlier peak, and shorter duration of glucose lowering activity than regular human insulin. However, it is not known whether insulin lispro crosses the human placenta and reaches the fetus. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to examine whether insulin lispro crosses the placenta using the techniqu...

background: the use of nanotechnology has led to rapid growth in various areas. thus, health and safety issues of nanoparticles (nps) should be promptly addressed. manganese oxide (mno2) nanoparticles (nps) are typically used for biomedical and industrial applications. however, characterizing the potential human health effects of mno2 nps is required before fully exploiting these materials. the...

Strong gravitational lensing and stellar dynamics provide two complementary and orthogonal constraints on the density profiles of galaxies. Based on spherically symmetric, scale-free, mass models, it is shown that the combination of both techniques is powerful in breaking the mass-sheet and mass-anisotropy degeneracies. Second, observational results are presented from the Lenses Structure & Dyn...

The accelerating expansion of the universe suggests that an unknown component with strongly negative pressure, called dark energy, currently dominates the dynamics of the universe. Such a component makes up ∼ 70% of the energy density of the universe yet has not been predicted by the standard model of particle physics. The best method for exploring the nature of this dark energy is to map the r...

We extract, from a quark model potential that reproduces the number and ordering of nonstrange baryonic resonances up to 2.3 GeV, the quantum numbers for the dominant configurations in the ground and first non-radial excited states. From the pattern of quantum numbers we identify, from data, spectral regularities that allow us to predict the expected high spin low-lying spectrum from 2.3 to 3.0...

BACKGROUND Despite the improved success rate of sperm retrieval by microdissection testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE), methods to stimulate spermatogenesis in men with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) remain unexplored. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of hCG-based hormonal stimulation in men with NOA on the success of sperm retrieval by micro-TESE. METHODS Forty-eight...

ADVANCES IN LIFE SCIENCE RESEARCH Throughout the history of medicine, many advances have been driven by important technological innovations. For example, the invention of the X-ray machine, more than a century ago, revolutionized medicine and pioneered the use of noninvasive imaging in the diagnosis and detection of diseases. The invention of the microscope essentially redefined the fields of p...

After 100 years of effort, the classification of all the finite subgroups of SU(3) is yet incomplete. The most recently updated list can be found in [3], where the structure of the series (C) and (D) of SU(3)-subgroups is studied. We provide a minimal set of generators for one of these groups which has order 162. These generators appear up to phase as the image of an irreducible unitary braid g...
