This study explores the effect of Ag+ ions on transient photoconductivity of thin films of Se75Te20Ag5. The thin films of Se75Te20Ag5 chalcogenide alloys were made by evaporation method using a vacuum chamber at HBTI Kanpur, India. This amorphous system showed the presence of negative photocurrent when white light was stopped showing on the sample. The rise and decay of photoconductivity was ob...

In this contribution the matrix element generator AMEGIC++ will be presented. It automatically generates Feynman diagrams, helicity amplitudes, and suitable phase space mappings for processes involving multi-particle final states within the Standard Model and some of its popular extensions. Due to the rising energy frontier in high-energy collider experiments, potential signals and their backgr...

In view of the advances in neuroimaging, it is very important for health providers involved in caring for subjects with cognitive disorders to have a basic knowledge of imaging in their curriculum. Today, neuroimaging is an essential part of the complementary investigation in cognitive and behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry. Imaging allows inferences to be drawn on which brain regions or ...

We are launching a new section of Cortex, dedicated to Cognitive and Behavioural Neurology (BN). BN has always been one of the key components of Cortex. Cubelli and Della Sala (2010) in their editorial conceptualized BN as the “descriptive” component of the term “neuro” in neuropsychology (as contrasted with the “object” of cognitive neuroscience and the “method” of cognitive neuropsychology). ...

Based on phylogenetic analysis of sequence data, Aspergillus section Usti includes 21 species, inclucing two teleomorphic species Aspergillus heterothallicus (= Emericella heterothallica) and Fennellia monodii. Aspergillus germanicus sp. nov. was isolated from indoor air in Germany. This species has identical ITS sequences with A. insuetusCBS 119.27, but is clearly distinct from that species ba...

Section Terrei of Aspergillus was studied using a polyphasic approach including sequence analysis of parts of the β-tubulin and calmodulin genes and the ITS region, macro- and micromorphological analyses and examination of extrolite profiles to describe three new species in this section. Based on phylogenetic analysis of calmodulin and β-tubulin sequences seven lineages were observed among isol...

People have always been infatuated with abdominal exercises. Not only amongst the fitness elite, but even sedentary people want a flatter tummy! Whether it is for cosmetic purposes or to protect against back pain abdominal exercises have probably drawn more attention than any other exercises. One abdominal exercise in particular, the sit-up, has become the most famous. Unfortunately, with all t...
