Polymer nanocomposites are a promising concept to improve energy storage density of capacitors, but realizing their hypothetical gains has proved challenging. The introduction of high permittivity fillers often leads to reduction in breakdown strength due to field exclusion, which intensifies the applied electric field within the polymer matrix near nanoparticle interfaces. This has prompted re...

Problem statement: Morphing of images has evolved and become a challenging field in information hiding and data security. The objective of this study is to secure the image data over internet while transmitting using the concept of image morphing Approach: To address this issue, the study proposed the new approach for image data security using the concept of image morphing. The morphing algorit...

In a recent, discussion of approach-avoidance conflict theory, Miller (1959) assumed that the strength or excitatory potential of the approach response should vary with factors which have been found to affect performance in nonconflict situations, namely: (1) the number of reinforced trials, (2) the strength of drive motivating the approach response, (3) the delay of reward, and (4) the amount ...

SER virus is closely related to the paramyxovirus simian virus 5 (SV5) but is defective in syncytium formation. The SER virus F protein has a long cytoplasmic tail (CT) domain that has been shown to inhibit membrane fusion, and this inhibitory effect could be eliminated by truncation of the C-terminal sequence (S. Tong, M. Li, A. Vincent, R. W. Compans, E. Fritsch, R. Beier, C. Klenk, M. Ohuchi...

Is Retest Bias Biased? An Examination of Race, Sex, and Ability Differences in Retest Performance on the Wonderlic Personnel Test by Jason Gilbert Randall Research suggests there may be race, sex, and ability differences in score improvement on different selection tests and methods when retested (Schleicher, Van Iddekinge, Morgeson, & Campion, 2010). However, it is uncertain what individual dif...

The article by Beier et al1 makes an important contribution to the understanding of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) bone marrow failure syndrome. We are concerned about application of the statistical technique, which was potentially a consequence of a misconception about the study design. We argue that the unit of analysis should have been cell populations rather than patients. In the...

Reports of simple pulmonary function tests in cystic fibrosis first appeared in 1954, when West, Levin, and Di Sant' Agnese showed a characteristic finding in 6 patients, aged 12-16 years, of difficulty in moving air rapidly in or out of the lungs. Cook et al. (1957) studied the lung volume in 53 patients, aged 1-31 years, and found that 810% of those diagnosed as having cystic fibrosis were fo...
