The Wilson-Wilson Experiment

An example of unipolar induction is a slab of material with (relative) permittivity and (relative) permeability μ that is immersed in a uniform external magnetic field H0 parallel to the plane of the slab, such that if the slab has velocity v perpendicular to H0 but also in the plane of the slab, a nonzero voltage difference V is detected between sliding contacts (fixed in the laboratory) on op...

of macrolide antibiotics into patients with chronic airway inflammatory diseases could favorably modify their clinical conditions. However, the therapeutic mode of action of macrolides is not well understood. Free oxygen radicals, including nitric oxide (NO), are well recognized as the important final effector molecules in the development and the maintenance of inflammatory diseases. Purpose: T...

Background: Inflammation and oxidative stress are both involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease and have been shown to be reciprocally linked. One group of molecules that have been directly associated with inflammation and the production of free radicals are the prostaglandin 13,14-dihydro 15-keto PGF2α and the isoprostane 8-iso-PGF2α. Results: To further delineate the role of inflamma...

Casoratian identities for the Wilson and Askey-Wilson polynomials

Infinitely many Casoratian identities are derived for the Wilson and Askey-Wilson polynomials in parallel to the Wronskian identities for the Hermite, Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials, which were reported recently by the present authors. These identities form the basis of the equivalence between eigenstate adding and deleting Darboux transformations for solvable (discrete) quantum mechanical sys...
