Ocular infections may be bacterial, viral, fungal or parasitic in aetiology. Pharmacological preparations are available to treat infections that are caused by these groups of organisms. The majority of these preparations are intended for topical administration, although some systemically administered agents may be needed to treat or prevent specific ocular infections. This article discusses the...

The Xl;, Es mass difference, Dm —= (Mz-Ms)c /h, has been redetermined in a highstatistics experiment performed at the zero-gradient synchrotron of Argonne National Laboratory, using the "gap method" originally developed at Princeton. Two independent measurements, using B4C and Cu, respectively, as regenerators, were performed and gave consistent results. Their mean is Am = (0.542+0.006) x 10 0 ...

This work presents emissive Cr(0), Mo(0) and W(0) complexes that contain a bidentate pyridyl-mesoionic carbene ligand CO coligands. These systems exhibit dual visible NIRII emission at room temperature represent milestone in the design of noble-metal-free NIR luminophores. The excited states were characterized by luminescence lifetime investigations step-scan FTIR spectroscopy, supported densit...

a number of complexes in the series (cu ll'),, where l = [(ch,),c-co-ch-coc( ch,),]-i and l'= 3-(me) c6h,0-, 2,6-(di-me)c6h30-, 4-(oh)c6h?o-, 3- (f) c6h,0-, 4-(br)c6h40-a, nd 3,s-(dl-me)c6h30h- ave been prepared and theu magnetic and optical properties determined. in chloroform, the complexes exhibit two bands in the visible and near uv regions. all complexes show room temperature mag...

A 12-week growth experiment was conducted to evaluate the suitability of Azolla cristata as a fish meal (FM) substitute in diets for Cyprinus carpio var. communis fingerlings. Six iso-nitrogenous and isocaloric (16.17 kJ/g GE) were formulated contain 42% crude protein each treatment had three replicates. The mean initial weight 3.4 ± 0.2 g. Graded levels A. 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50% fed triplicate...

We analyse the SU(2) k WZNW models beyond the integrable representations and in particular the case of SU(2) 0. We find that these are good examples of logarithmic conformal field theories as indecomposable representations are naturally produced in the fusion of discrete irreducible representations. We also find extra, chiral and non-chiral, multiplet structure in the theory. The chiral fields,...

To study the short-term effects of theophylline on sleep and wakefulness, 24 healthy men and women, aged 21 to 35 years, received each of three doses, 0, 3, and 6 mg/kg, of theophylline double-blind in a Latin Square design, administered to 12 subjects at 9 AM and to the other 12 at 11 PM. After the daytime administration, sleep latency was tested at 10 AM, 12 Noon, 2 PM, and 4 PM and divided a...

Evaluation of the effects of Arthrospira maxima (AM) was made, otherwise known as Spirulina, on the teratogenicity, genotoxicity, and DNA oxidation processes induced by cadmium (Cd). Pregnant ICR mice were divided into groups and administered water, Cd only, AM only, or AM plus Cd. AM was administered orally at doses of 200, 400, and 800 mg/kg from gestational day 0 (GD0) to GD17, and at GD7 th...
