organophosphate (op) poisoning is one of the most common causes of poisoning in developing countries especially in southeastern asia. poisoning with phosphorus-containing organic chemicals or op compounds can be managed with antidotes like oximes which are potential reactivators of acetylcholinesterase (ache). the efficacy of oxime therapy in op poisoned patients mainly depends upon various fac...

Commonly used conventional antiepileptic drugs for pharmacotherapy in epilepsy are phenytoin, carbamazepine and valproic acid. These drugs have complex pharmacokinetic properties leading to fluctuation in their plasma level at given same therapeutic dose. The present study was done to monitor their plasma levels. A prospective observational study was conducted at National Public Health Laborato...

Plasma poloidal curvature can significantly extend microwave reflectometry responses to high k⊥ poloidal fluctuations. Reflectometry responses can be several orders of magnitude larger at high k⊥ than that predicted by analysis based on two dimensional (2-D) slab geometry. As a result, the responses may approach the 1-D geometrical optics limit. This super resolution leads to a major modificati...

Because of the fractional baryon number of quarks, baryon and antibaryon number fluctuations in the quark-gluon plasma is less than those in the hadronic matter, making them plausible signatures for the quark-gluon plasma expected to be formed in relativistic heavy ion collisions. To illustrate this possibility, we have introduced a kinetic model that takes into account both production and anni...

This paper considers small-amplitude fluctuations in the Hall-effect thruster. To predict which fluctuations could be important to transport, the growth of a disturbance is determined as a function of real frequency and propagation angle. In the simple case, strong growth is predicted for disturbances that are azimuthal. In the general case, strong growth is predicted for various propagation an...

Particle transport and its effect on the plasma density distribution remains an important, unresolved issue in magnetic fusion plasmas [1]. Fluctuating magnetic fields can arise from global tearing instabilities that often underlie the sawtooth oscillation [2] and lead to plasma relaxation [3]. Furthermore, magnetic fluctuations are also generated by energetic particles associated with non-indu...

Poisoning with phosphorus-containing organic chemicals or OP compounds can be managed with antidotes like oximes which are potential reactivators of acetylcholinesterase (AChE).

A unique parabolic relation is observed to link skewness and kurtosis of density fluctuation signals, measured over the whole cross-section of the simple toroidal device TORPEX for a broad range of experimental conditions. This relationship is also valid for density fluctuation signals measured in the scrape-off layer of the TCV tokamak. All the probability density functions (PDFs) of the measu...
