Aspartame (SC-18862, 3-amino-N-(a-carboxyphenethyl)succinarnic acid, methyl ester; the methyl ester of aspartyl-phenylalanine ) is a sweetening agent that organoleptically has about 180 times the sweetness of sugar. Because it so closely resembles naturally occurring dipeptides, it was believed that it would be digested in a similar manner. To show this, the metabolism of [14C]aspartame labeled...

Aims. The identification of other basaltic objects in the asteroid belt is mandatory to explain the diversity in the collection of basaltic meteorites. This diversity requires more than one differentiated parent body, a fact that is consistent with the diversity of differentiated parent bodies implied by the iron meteorites. Methods. Based on a list of previously identified candidate basaltic (...

This paper deals with a novel single-point strategy for the detection of prevailing harmonic sources downstream or upstream the metering section in three-phase power systems. It is an enhancement of a previous strategy, already developed by the authors and it is based on the comparison of three non-active power quantities which are based on the IEEE Std. 1459-2000 approach. The method does not ...

2014 We report measurements of the resistive superconducting transitions of NbSe3 as a function of magnetic field for sufficient pressures to destroy the lower CDW. These indicate that NbSe3 is a bulk anisotropic superconductor with a total Meissner effect. The critical field anisotropies are well described by an effective mass model and the values obtained are in good agreement with those obta...
