craniospinal irradiation plus posterior fossa boost (cs1) is the standard modality of post-operative treatment of patient with medulloblastoma, but considering the technical difficulties and limited facilities, often whole- brain irradiation plus posterior fossa boost (wbi) had been used in our institution until 1991. tust a retrospective study was undertaken to compare the patients treated by ...

A series of liquid crystals have been synthesized and studied based upon mononuclear orthoplatinated rod-like heteroaromatic and 1,3-diketonate ligands. The liquid crystalline properties of these molecules were investigated using polarized light optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and powder X-ray diffraction. Increasing the number of alkyl c...

We carried out a search for companions to B stars using the adaptive optics system of the Advanced ElectroOptical System 3.6 m telescope. We observed 70 B stars in the I band, finding 16 companions, 10 of which are newly discovered companions. For each system with a detected companion we give its measured astrometry and differential magnitude. We then put the observation in context of the syste...

Photo-aligned ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) display reveals a perfect alignment in case of asymmetric boundary conditions, when the competition in aligning action of two solid surfaces is avoided. In this case a stable uniform photo-alignment on one of the cell substrates spreads out to the other, which is prepared to sustain planar alignment with a degenerate azimuthal direction. In the p...

Heterojunction and doping superlattices are widely used in many advanced semiconductor devices such as resonant tunnelling diodes, optical modulators, cascade lasers, tunable light emitting diodes and photodetectors. These structures exhibit nonlinear electrooptical properties. Nonlinear processes are governed by the Franz–Keldysh effect and the band-filling effect in the n-i-p-i superlattices ...

The temperature dependence of the rotational viscosities of several physically markedly different binary mixtures belonging to ten different liquid crystal classes is measured. An attempt is made to correlate the results with class-specific structural properties such as hydrogenated rings, molecular polarity and structure of flexible side-chains. It is show that the measured smallscale dynamic ...
