Magnetization measurements have been carried out on a series of carefully prepared single-phase Mn(1+x)Ga (0<x<1) alloys. The saturation magnetization Ms, measured at 5 K, has a value of 92.0 emu/g for x=0.15. This is the highest value reported in these alloys and is close to the calculated value of 116 emu/g for the stoichiometric compound (x=0). Ms decreases gradually with x and has a value o...

The present study was conducted to analyze the physico-chemical and colour properties of emu meat. The leg, back and breast portion along with a uniform mix of these three cuts were taken for evaluation of emu meat quality in respect to various physico-chemical parameters. The pH of breast meat was found significantly (P<0.05) lower than meat from leg and back portion. Water holding capacity of...

In this paper, the relationship between objective knowledge of EU and people’s attitudes towards the proposed European Monetary Union (EMU) is analysed. As a data base, survey data from Eurobarometer 39 (1993) has been employed. First it is displayed in a cross-country comparison, how the presented knowledge indicator varies between the original 12 EUmembers. Then the bivariate relationship of ...

State-of-the-art wireless sensor systems are typically performanceconstrained, battery-based devices which can, at most, reach selfsustainability using energy harvesting and aggressive duty-cycling. In certain scenarios, however, the energy availability is such that no large scale storage device is necessary to fulfill application requirements. Transient systems, which operate in an energy prop...

In this paper, we propose a cluster-based synchronization algorithm for underwater acoustic sensor networks based on MU-Sync, called EMU-Sync. Time synchronization is an important part of many services. Although many time synchronization protocols for terrestrial wireless sensor networks have been well-developed, none of them can be applied directly in underwater wireless sensor networks. The c...

The Long Life (Lithium Ion) Battery (LLB/LIB) is designed to replace the current Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) Silver/Zinc (Ag/Zn) Increased Capacity Battery (ICB), which is used to provide power to the Primary Life Support Subsystem (PLSS) during Extravehicular Activities (EVAs). The LLB (a battery based on commercial lithium ion cell technology) is designed to have the same electrical an...

In this paper we study macroeconomic stabilization in the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) using a dynamic game approach. With the aid of a stylized macroeconomic model, this paper analyzes the transmission and interaction of national fiscal policies and monetary policy of the European Central Bank (ECB) in the EMU. A special focus is on the effects of labor market institutions in the particip...

A locus that we name SubA was discovered during large-scale sequencing and characterization of a bacterial artificial chromosome library from an emu, Dromaius novaehollandiae. This locus yields a significantly negative Tajima's D in emus and is conserved across emu, chicken, mouse, and human. Expression of SubA orthologs has been reported in human ovaries and in mouse testes, but remains unknow...
