The photoelectron spectra of the structural isomers of the three- and four-carbon enolate anions, n-C3H5O(-), i-C3H5O(-), n-C4H7O(-), s-C4H7O(-), and i-C4H7O(-) have been measured at 355 nm. Both the X(2A' ') ground and A(2A') first excited states of the corresponding radicals were accessed from the X(1A') ground state of the enolate anions. The separation energies of the ground and first excit...

We show that within conformal gravity an assumption regarding only the sign of the cosmological constant, namely that Λ be negative, is sufficient, no matter what its magnitude, to not only make its contribution to current era cosmology naturally be of order one today, but to even do so in a way which is fully compatible with the recent high z supernovae cosmology data. The recent discovery [1,...

and Applied Analysis 3 where m ∈ N, α is the quotient of odd positive integers, t0 ∈ T, the time scale interval t0,∞ T {t ∈ T : t ≥ t0}, a ∈ Crd t0,∞ T, 0,∞ , p ∈ C t0,∞ T,R , τ, δ ∈ C T,T with limt→∞τ t limt→∞δ t ∞ and f ∈ C t0,∞ T×R,R satisfying the following conditions: i uf t, u > 0 for any t ∈ t0,∞ T and u/ 0. ii f t, u is nondecreasing in u for any t ∈ t0,∞ T. Since we are interested in t...

AIM To assess the microbial level of Streptococcus Mutans and Lactobacillus spp. during rapid palatal expansion, and compare the data with untreated control patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS STUDY DESIGN Thirty patients aged between 6-9 years were enrolled in this study (15 males and 15 females). The patients were divided into three groups: 10 patients were treated with rapid palatal expande...

This study was aimed at identifying, in 203 patients with Alzheimer's disease followed during long-term treatment with Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs), the predictive factors of the clinical response among cognition (MMSE), functioning (BADL and IADL) measures and age and gender at the baseline (T0). The ANCOVA test showed a significant association between MMSE scores at time T0 and T3,...

The prognosis of T0 stage differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the prognosis of T0 stage DTC patients to provide a new perspective on treatment guidelines for these patients. We investigated a large cohort of DTC patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2004 and 2013. Patient survival curves were examin...

We propose a security price data cleaning technique based on Reynold’s decomposition that uses T0 (the time period of integration) to determine the de-noise level of the price data. The goal of this study is to find the optimal T0 that reveals an underlying price trend, possibly indicating the intrinsic value of the security. The DJIA (Dow Jones Industrial Average) Index and the thirty companie...

A recently proposed normalization condition for the imaginary part of the selfenergy of an unstable particle is shown to lead to a closed expression for the field renormalization constant Z. In turn, the exact expression for Z is necessary, in some important cases, in order to avoid power-like infrared divergences in high orders of perturbation theory. In the same examples, the width plays the ...
