We establish the exact solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a delta–function impurity, representing a point–like defect which reflects and transmits. We solve the problem both at the classical and the second quantized levels. In the quantum case the Zamolodchikov-Faddeev algebra, familiar from the case without impurities, is substituted by the recently discovered reflection–trans...

We report a new kindred with systemic amyloidosis presenting as peripheral neuropathy in the sixth and seventh decades of life. Polymorphism in exon 2 of the transthyretin (TTR) gene was suggested by single strand conformation polymorphism analysis and determined by direct DNA sequencing. We also developed restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis by polymerase chain reaction using a pr...

The dark scintillating dots occurring on a gray-on-black, modified Hermann grid [Schrauf, M., Lingelbach, B., & Wist, E. R. (1997). The scintillating grid illusion. Vision Research, 37, 1033-1038] were studied in stereo-depth by assigning various degrees of disparity to the white inducing disks. Dependent on the sign of disparity, the disks and the dark illusory spots within them appeared to li...

The title compound, Rb2O2·2NH3, has been obtained as a reaction product of rubidium metal dissolved in liquid ammonia and glucuronic acid. As a result of the low-temperature crystallization, a disolvate was formed. To our knowledge, only one other solvate of an alkali metal peroxide is known: Na2O2·8H2O has been reported by Grehl et al. [Acta Cryst. (1995), C51, 1038-1040]. We determined the pe...

IT HAS previously been demonstrated that the monoamine oxidase inhibitor, RO 41038 (DL-serine-N2-isopropylhydrazide) is a clinically useful drug in the treatment of arterial hypertension." 2 Furthermore, all the compounds that inhibit monoamine oxidase in vivo are hypotensive in man to a greater or lesser degree.3 Although the precise manner in which the disturbances of catecholamine metabolism...

We report on the multiphase absorption-line system detected at a redshift z abs =3.021 in the spectrum of the quasi-stellar object CTQ 325 (zem = 3.212). The system is displaced by ≃ 14, 000 km s −1 to the blue of the systemic velocity defined by the center of the symmetric O i quasar emission line. It consists of shallow and broad (∼ 700 km s −1 FWHM) absorption lines of H i λ1215, C iv λλ1548...

We report the structural and magnetic phase transitions of triclinic Ca10(FeAs)10(Pt3As8), which is the parent compound of the 1038-type iron-arsenide superconductors. High-resolution x-ray diffraction reveals splitting of the in-plane (a,b) lattice parameters at T(s) ≈ 120 K. Platinum-doping weakens the distortion and shifts the transition temperature to 80 K in Ca10(Fe(1-x)Pt(x)As)10(Pt3As8) ...
