In this paper we report magnetic field models and basic physical parameters for the slowly rotating Ap/Bp stars HD 12288 and HD 14437. Using new and previously published mean longitudinal magnetic field, mean magnetic field modulus, and hipparcos photometric measurements, we have inferred the rotational periods of both stars (HD 12288: Prot = 34. d9 ± 0. d2; HD 14437: Prot = 26. d87 ± 0. d02). ...

An infrasonic observatory collocated with the Colorado State University CHILL radar during the summer of 1995 permitted unique comparisons between severe storm kinematics and detected acoustic energy at subaudible frequencies near 1 Hz. Radar observations of a velocity couplet aloft (evolving into a tornado) showed a circulation maximum descending for about 30 min while moving to the east. The ...

The intercultural dialogue that has been developing since the beginning of the 21st century as a cultural and political priority should have an inter-philosophical global dialogue as its epistemological and ontological foundation. However, given the asymmetric relation between the Global North and the Global South, it is necessary that this global dialogue begin with an interphilosophical dialo...

The paper studies the breathing patterns for four types of Chinese metrical poems, namely, fivecharacter quatrain, five-character octave, sevencharacter quatrain and seven-character octave. A breathing belt was tied to the chest and the respiratory signal was acquired by EMG. Respiratory parameters were defined regarding the dynamical properties of the signal, and were automatically extracted b...

The interaction between cis- and trans- RuCl(2)(DMSO)(4) and human serum albumin have been investigated through UV-Vis, circular dichroism, fluorescence spectroscopy and inductively couplet plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP(AES)) method Albumin can specifically bind 1 mole of cis-isomer and 2 moles of the trans-isomer RuCl(2)(DMSO)(4) complex. The interaction of RuCl(2)(DMSO)(4) with HSA...

Bilobetin and 4'''-O-methylamentoflavone were isolated and identified in the needles of Taxus baccata, for the first time in this species. The antifungal activity of biflavones from T. baccata and Ginkgo biloba, namely amentoflavone, 7-O-methylamentoflavone, bilobetin, ginkgetin, sciadopitysin and 2,3-dihydrosciadopitysin towards the fungi Alternaria alternata, Fusarium culmorum, Cladosporium o...

Preparations of isolated liver cells, either freshly prepared or in culture, have been available for many years; however, because they lack the polarization of the cell in the tissue, their application to the study of processes involved in bile formation has been very limited. The hepatocyte couplet model offers a unique opportunity to study in vitro the intracellular processes involved: not on...

without TCA, compared with 6/10 patients during treatment. Minor arrhythmias, such as occasional atrial premature beats (APBs) and occasional unifocal ventricular premature beats (VPBs), occurred in 2/10 patients without treatment and in 3/10 patients with treatment in groups 1 and 2. More significant arrhythmias, such as multifocal or frequent VPBs; VPBs in a row; paroxysmal atrial tachycardia...
