The longitudinal and transverse beam coupling impedance of the first final TOTEM Roman Pot unit has been measured in the laboratory with the wire method. For the evaluation of transverse impedance the wire position has been kept constant, and the insertions of the RP were moved asymmetrically. With the original configuration of the RP, resonances with fairly high Q values were observed. In orde...

Batch cultures of mouse LS cells were grown in suspension at controlled dissolved oxygen partial pressures (pOt). At low pOt (i-6 mmHg) the growth and respiration rates and the final cell population were all limited. At high pOt (320 mmHg), cell division was inhibited after an initial doubling of the cell number. At intermediate values of pOt, the growth rate was constant but the final cell pop...

The success of agricultural development cannot be separated from the readiness and competence human resources, resources are needed who have good capacity in planning, implementing, evaluating monitoring implementation programs that been planned, especially for sector. procurement rice transplanters has become a concern government because it is also one contained National Medium Term Developmen...

The development of an automatic walking-type pepper transplanter could be effective in improving the mechanization rate cultivation, where dibbling mechanism plays a vital role and determines planting performance efficiency. objective this research was to determine suitable working speed for gear-driven appropriate transplanter, while considering agronomic transplanting requirements. proposed c...

Abstract A novel basic ionic liquid based on imidazolium cation is designed, synthesized and successfully used as a catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of 4-Oxo-6-aryl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile derivatives. The remarkable features of this new catalyst are its ethyleneoxy bridge which participates in dissolving organic compound in the ionic liquid and its strong base co...

Due to the limitation of rapid development of specific antiviral drug or vaccine for novel emerging viruses, an accurate and rapid diagnosis is a key to manage the virus spread. We developed an efficient and rapid method with high specificity for the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), based on one-pot reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (one-pot RT...

A new material MIT-1 comprised of delaminated MWW zeolite nanosheets is synthesized in one-pot using a rationally designed organic structure-directing agent (OSDA). The OSDA is comprised of a hydrophilic head segment that resembles the OSDA used to synthesize the zeolite precursor MCM22(P), a hydrophobic tail segment that resembles the swelling agent used to swell MCM22(P), and a di-quaternary ...

BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery is the standard of care for UK patients with locally advanced resectable oesophageal carcinoma (OeC). However, not all patients benefit from multimodal treatment and there is a clinical need for biomarkers which can identify chemotherapy responders. This study investigated whether the proportion of tumour cells per tumour area (PoT) measur...
