Optical potential for antikaon-nucleus strong interactions are constructed using
elementary antikaon-nucleus potentials determined previously. The optical potentials
are used to determine the existence of a kaon hypernucleus. Modern three
dimensional visualization techniques are used to study model dependences, new
methods for speeding the calculation of the optical potential are developed,...
The objective of this study was to examine the published clinical
literature on the prophylactic therapy of angina pectoris with
the organic nitrates in order to determine the relationship between
experimental design and the conclusion of efficacy reported by the
investigator. A search for articles reporting original clinical investigations
on...
Attempts were made to study the effect of parathion and DDT
on the postnatal development of mice. Parathion, DDT or corn oil
(control) was administered to gravid mice during the first, second,
and third trimesters of pregnancy. Thus, nine groups of offspring
were obtained. Four different techniques, Audiogenic Seizure,
Conditioned...
It is common to characterize adrenergic receptors by placing
them in one of two categories, alpha or beta. The receptors responsible
for adrenergically induced increase in cardiac contractile force
and glycogenolysis are usually classified as beta receptors, but such
a classification is not definitely established. Therefore, an attempt
was made...
Virus contamination in a potato breeding program can seriously
disrupt the variety development process. Experiments were conducted
from 1989 through 1993 to: evaluate the extent to which Potato
Leafroll Virus (PLRV) and Potato Virus Y (PVY) can invade a breeding
program, determine viral spread within hills and within individual
tubers,...
The diversity of traits in varieties of potato outside of its South American birthplace is a small subset of that available in the Andean center of origin. Among the traits that evoke most interest are skin and flesh pigments. Recent studies have pointed to the high antioxidant activity and potential...
There are many different types of automatic data collection technologies that have been used in transportation system applications such as pneumatic tubes, radar, video cameras, inductive loops detectors, wireless toll tags, and global positioning systems (GPS). Nevertheless, there are still multiple examples of important and helpful transportation system data that...
Twenty-three bottom-trawl fish assemblages were identified from the relative biomass of
33 dominant species that occurred in the National Marine Fisheries Services' triennial
trawl surveys over the continental shelf and upper slope off California, Oregon, and
Washington from 1977 to 1992. The assemblages accounted for about 70% of the total...
The last decade has seen a drastic interest in microgrids throughout the world. Even though this trend might seem to be just another technological solution in the energy sector, it is a part of a greater transition from a centralized energy system to a more decentralized one. However, unlike most...
