Pikular (1955) determined the cholesterol content of compact bone after demineralization with hydrochloric acid. By the digitonide method, the cholesterol content of the organic matter (osseocollagen) was found to be 0-0028-0-0040 g. of cholesterol/100 g. of dry ash-free protein. He also prepared procollagen by the method of Orekhovich, Tustanorskii, Orekhovich & Plotinkora (1948) and showed ch...

Differential regularization is applied to a field theory of a non-relativistic charged boson field φ with λ(φ∗φ)2 self-interaction and coupling to a statistics-changing U(1) Chern-Simons gauge field. Renormalized configuration-space amplitudes for all diagrams contributing to the φφφφ 4-point function, which is the only primitively divergent Green’s function, are obtained up to 3-loop order. Th...

Departing from Mulder's semi-coarsening technique for rst-order PDEs, the notion of a grid of grids is introduced and a multi-level nite-volume technique for second order elliptic PDEs is developed. Various grid-transfer operators are investigated, in combination with damped Jacobi-relaxation. Convergence rates as they are predicted by Fourier local mode analysis are compared with practical mea...

We describe a language and protocol intended to support interoperability among intelligent agents in a distributed application. Examples of applications envisioned include intelligent multi-agent design systems as well as intelligent planning, scheduling and replanning agents supporting distributed transportation planning and scheduling applications. The language, KQML for Knowledge Query and M...

The present work estimated the genetic variability and relatedness index of the fifth stock of Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, imported into Cuba for farming purposes from the US Shrimp Improvement System (SIS). Genetic variability was estimated by genotyping 33 samples for four microsatellite loci: M1, Pvan 1815, Pvan 0040 and Pvan 1758. This stock had average expected and observed...

A variety of benzyl halides were converted to the corresponding aldehydes/ketones in respectable yields by IBX in DMSO at 65 C. The bromohydrin reaction of olefins using NBS–H2O in DMSO can be nicely adapted to IBX-mediated oxidation of benzyl halides in such a way that olefins are converted to the corresponding 1,2-diketones in good isolated yields in one-pot. 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

Most of CERN’s industrial installations rely on PLC-based (Programmable Logic Controller) control systems developed using the UNICOS framework. This framework contains common, reusable program modules and their correctness is a high priority. Testing is already applied to find errors, but this method has limitations. In this work an approach is proposed to transform automatically PLC programs i...

We investigate the question of whether an additional light neutral scalar can explain the llγγ events with high invariant mass photon pairs recently observed by the L3 collaboration. We parameterize the low energy effects of the unknown dynamics in terms of higher dimensional effective operators. We show that operators which allow for the scalar to be produced and decay into photon pairs will a...
