The non-anthocyanin phenolic compounds in wines from five grape cultivars (Zuo Shan Yi, Zuo Shan Er, Shuang Hong, Shuang You and Shuang Feng) of Vitis amurensis and two hybrid cultivars (Zuo Hong Yi and Zuo You Hong) were examined by high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI-MS/MS) technique in this study. The non-anthocyanin phenolic comp...

Entropy generation due to viscous incompressible MHD forced convective dissipative fluid flow through a horizontal channel of finite depth in the existence of an inclined magnetic field and heat source effect has been examined. The governing non-linear partial differential equations for momentum, energy and entropy generation are derived and solved by using the analytical method. In addition; t...

The Longmen Shan is the steepest topographic front at the India-Asia collision zone and the site of the Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake. Here to explain the interseismic GPS velocities across the greater Longmen Shan region, we develop a boundary element model including earthquake cycle effects, topography, the westward dipping Beichuan Fault and a ∼20 km deep, shallowly dipping, detachment, inferre...

Based on an early diagnosis and reversal of the underlying predisposing condition, this patient with subacute presentation of mediastinal zygomycosis was treated successfully with AMB and L-AMB. Along with histoplasmosis and tuberculosis, zygomycosis should be considered in patients with clinical manifestations of chronic mediastinitis and bronchial perforations. H-C. Liu*, M-S. Jan, Y-C. Lin, ...

We report a magnetostratigraphic and rock magnetic study of the Yaha section, located on the southern flank of the central Tian Shan mountains, Asia. Our results show a twofold increase in sedimentation rate as well as marked changes in rock magnetic characteristics ca. 11 Ma. After 11 Ma, sedimentation rate remained remarkably constant until at least 5.2 Ma. These findings are consistent with ...

New SHRIMP and TIMS zircon ages, Ar=Ar ages, and eclogite locations contribute significantly to our understanding of the ultrahigh-pressure Dabie Shan. (1) The geographic extent of the Yangtze craton that was subducted to ultrahigh pressure extends to the northern edge of the Dabie Shan. (2) The northern half of the Dabie Shan is a magmatic complex, intruded over a 10-Myr interval between 137 a...

We present a new approach to Automated Deduction based on the concept of Shan-non graphs, which are also known as Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs). A Skolemized formula is rst transformed into a Shannon graph, then the latter is compiled into a set of Horn clauses. These can nally be run as a Prolog program trying to refute the initial formula. It is also possible to precompile axiomatizations i...
