Teratogenic activity of methadone HC1 (Physeptone, Burroughs Wellcome and Co.) was tested on inbred JBT/Jd and outbred Q strain mouse embryos and on chick embryos. 22-24 mg/kg injected subcutaneously on the 9th day of pregnancy caused by the 13th day exencephaly in 56 out of 479 JBT/Jd embryos but after 32 mg/kg only in 1 out of 220 of the Q strain. Some affected JBT/Jd embryos showed also rach...

We propose a Multi-user Detection (MUD) receiver that combines Linear Sequence Estimation (LSE) and Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC). It is based on the symbol-response model commonly employed in the context of Joint Detectors (JD). It mitigates Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) by LSE and Multiple Access Interference (MAI) via SIC. We provide numerical results that compare its performa...

The effect of pediocin JD, a bacteriocin produced by Pediococcus acidilactici JD1-23, on the proton motive force and proton permeability of resting whole cells of Listeria monocytogenes Scott A was determined. Control cells, treated with trypsin-inactivated bacteriocin at a pH of 5.3 to 6.1, maintained a pH gradient and a membrane potential of approximately 0.65 pH unit and 75 mV, respectively....

This paper proposes an ICA-based MIMO-OFDM system which efficiently overcomes problems inherent to ICA by using a precise and robust signal reconstruction method. It exploits the predetermined characteristics introduced to transmitted signals by a convolutional encoder at the transmitter to solve permutation indeterminacy, amplitude scaling ambiguity and phase distortion. Since, the introduced ...

We consider the alignment torque between a spinning black hole and an accretion disc whose angular momenta are misaligned. This situation must hold initially in almost all gas accretion events on to supermassive black holes, and may occur in binaries where the black hole receives a natal supernova kick. We show that the torque always acts to align the hole’s spin with the total angular momentum...

To reduce the high decoding complexity of q-ary LDPC codes, a joint-demodulation and extended min-sum (JD-EMS) decoding algorithm is presented in this paper. By utilizing the squares of the distances between signal and constellation points over constellation graph as the decoder input soft messages, the proposed algorithm not only facilitates the computations of the decoder initial messages, bu...

A bstract Our knowledge on the active 3 ν mixing angles ( θ 12 , 13 and 23 ) CP phase δ is becoming accurate day-by-day enabling us to test unitarity of leptonic matrix with utmost precision. Future high-precision long-baseline experiments are going play an important role in this direction. In work, we study impact possible non-unitary neutrino (NUNM) context next-generation DUNE T2HKK/JD+KD ha...

Calcium-dependent protein kinases are key proteins involved in plant and protozoal Ca signaling. These unique molecules include a calcium regulatory calmodulin-like domain (CLD), which binds to another small regulatory domain named the junction domain (JD). Both CLD and JD are part of the same polypeptide as the protein kinase domain. The CLD consists of Nand C-terminal lobes, each having two h...
