Within the quark nugget model, dark matter particles may be represented by compact composite objects composed of a large number quarks or antiquarks. Due to strong interaction with visible matter, antiquark nuggets should manifest themselves in form rare atmospheric events on Earth. They produce ionized trails atmosphere similar meteor trails. There are, however, several features which allow on...

Abstract A Cu-rich polymetallic complex concentrate produced at the Garpenberg Mines of Boliden Mineral AB, Sweden is investigated. Roasting 700 °C in N 2 leads to extensive liquid formation. The calcine obtained after cooling down room temperature found be severely sintered, entrapping numerous melt nuggets. This work focuses on analyzing redistribution minor (Ag) and trace elements consequent...

The Pierre Auger Observatory have reported [1-3] observation of several exotic cosmic ray -like events which apparently related to thunderstorms. These are much larger in size than conventional events, and they very distinct timing features. A possible nature the observed phenomenon is still a matter active research debates as many unusual features these hard explain. In particular, frequency a...

Voltage-gated ion channels underlie electrical activity of neurons and are dynamically regulated by diverse cell signaling pathways that alter their phosphorylation state. Recent global mass spectrometric-based analyses of the mouse brain phosphoproteome have yielded a treasure trove of new data as to the extent and nature of phosphorylation of numerous ion channel principal or α subunits in ma...

Mouse models of T helper type 2 (Th2) cell–biased pulmonary inflammation have elucidated mechanisms of sensitization, cell traffic, and induced airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Nonetheless, most mice lack intrinsic AHR, a central property of human asthma, and disparities persist regarding the contributions of eosinophils and mast cells and the sensitivity to induced AHR in the commonly used mo...

However, many text mining applications do not have adequate natural language processing ability beyond simple keyword indexing, and as a result, there are too many textual elements (words) included in the analysis. We argue that noun phrases as textual elements are better suited for text mining and could provide more discriminating power, than single words. Discourse representation theory (Kamp...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of frying temperature, time and different batter formulations on the rheological properties and mass transfer during deep fat frying of kurdish cheese nuggets. the effects of white egg (0, 5, 10%) addition to the batter formulation of cheese nuggets and frying at 150, 170 and 190◦c for 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 min have been investigated. the result...

There has been growing interest in building and optimizing retrieval systems with respect to relevance and novelty of information, which together more realistically reflect the usefulness of a system as perceived by the user. How to combine these criteria into a single metric that can be used to measure as well as optimize retrieval systems is an open challenge that has only received partial so...
