Subcellular fractionation of human brain cortex obtained at autopsy yielded microsomal and synaptosome-rich fractions from the gray matter and microsomal and purified myelin fractions from the white matter. The phospholipids of myelin were high in plasmalogens, and the molar ratio of alkenyl acyl sn-glycero-3-phosphorylethanolamine to diacyl sn-glycero-3-phosphorylethanolamine was 4. The acyl g...

Individual subjects' performance was examined for cross-modality matching (CMM) of loudness to visual area, as well as for magnitude estimation (ME) of the component continua. Average exponents of power functions relating response magnitude to stimulus intensity were .73 for area, .20 for loudness, and 2.44 for CMM. Predictions of the CMM exponent based on ME were higher than the empirical valu...

Tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) films with Sn/In atomic ratios in the range 0-0.1 were synthesized by electrochemically assisted deposition (EAD). The process involves a fast one-step cathodic deposition of a highly crystalline In-Sn hydroxide (InSnOH) film followed by thermal conversion into ITO at 300 C. The cathodic precipitation of InSnOH is preceded by formation of an In-Sn complex in solutio...

   High transparent conductive indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide (ITO/TiO2) nanostructured thin film is prepared by sol-gel dip-coating technique. This method yielded monodisperse ITO nanoparticles with mean diameter of 12 nm. The atomic composition of the Sn within the ITO structure changed from 0-20 wt.%. Through controlled annealing temperature at 550 oC, the result...

The Sn(IV) atom in the title compound, [Sn(C(4)H(9))(2)(C(9)H(16)NS(2))(2)], is chelated by the two dithio-carbamate ions in a six-coordinate skew-trapezoidal-bipyramidal geometry. The two butyl groups are disordered over two positions in a 1:1 ratio.

Background: Liver is an important organ that responsible for biological detoxification. There are few studies about the effect of co-exposure to organic solvents and noise on hepatic system enzymes. The study aim was to assess the effects of short-term exposure to noise and styrene on rat liver enzymes. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, we studied the liver enzymes of male r...

When compared to suffixes, prefixes possess several distinctive but largely unexplained properties. This paper explores the idea that these properties might arise from a common source, namely discontinuous recognition of spoken prefixed words, in which listeners ‘skip’ to that portion of the speech stream which contains the root. If this occurs, listeners could potentially perceive prefixes ver...

Security of quantum key distribution of existing quantum cryptographic protocols -basically pure state protocols is yet to be unconditionally, unquestionably and realistically proved. We observe that this task, in an alternative way, can reliably be fulfilled if security is guaranteed within the raw protocol. But in presence of noise, raw protocols can not ensure that security since decoherence...

The title compound was synthesized by a reactive salt reaction at 773 K over a period of 5 d. It has a one-dimensional chain structure consisting of K(+) cations and one-dimensional [Ag(2)Sn(2)Se(6)](2-) anions. The chain is constructed by edge-sharing bitetrahedral [Sn(2)Se(6)] units connected in a 1:2 ratio via linear Ag(+) ions.
