We give a perturbation theory of neutrino oscillation in the Earth. The perturbation theory is valid for neutrinos with energy E > ∼ 0.5 GeV. It is formulated using trajectory dependent average potential. Non-adiabatic contributions are included as the first order effects in the perturbation theory. We analyze neutrino oscillation with standard matter effect and with non-standard matter effect....

Acute paraquat (PQ) poisoning is one of the most common forms of pesticide poisoning. Oxidative stress and inflammation are thought to be important mechanisms in PQ-induced acute lung injury (ALI). Selenium (Se) can scavenge intracellular free radicals directly or indirectly. In this study, we investigated whether porous Se@SiO2 nanospheres could alleviate oxidative stress and inflammation in P...

Bitonic columns are an extension of the consecutive ones property for a matrix. For some optimization problems, if the constraint matrix has the proper bitonic column property then a fast algorithm can nd an optimal solution. This paper shows how the PQ-tree reduction algorithm of Booth and Lueker can be extended into an eecient algorithm to test for a bitonic column property.

This paper considers the problem of computing the weak visibility polygon (WVP) of any query line segment pq (or WVP(pq)) inside a given simple polygon P. We present an algorithm that preprocesses P and creates a data structure from which WVP(pq) is efficiently reported in an output sensitive manner. Our algorithm needs O(n log n) time and O(n) space in the preprocessing phase to report WVP(pq)...

Routine power quality (PQ) monitoring is limited to a statistical sample of sites that are hopefully representative of the overall PQ performance of the network. It would be helpful if the PQ performance of un-monitored sites could be inferred from the results of a PQ survey from a site having similar physical characteristics. This is only possible if it is known which physical characteristics ...

Objective: This study aimed to adapt the Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory of Personality Questionnaire (RST PQ) Turkish language and measure its factor structure psychometric properties. Method: In total, 418 volunteers (301 women) participated in study. Participants were undergraduate students at Adnan Menderes University, Aydin, Turkey, aged between 18 26 years (M=21.53). They completed versi...

Prodromal Questionnaire (PQ) and Structured Interview for Prodromal Syndromes (SIPS) have been used as a two-stage process for identifying subjects at clinical high risk (CHR) of psychosis. The Prodromal Questionnaire-Brief version (PQ-B) contains 21 items derived from the PQ. The present study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of PQ-B in a Chinese help-seeking outpatient sample and ...

ABSTRACT In this paper, we apply the PQ theory with shunt active power filter in an unbalanced and distorted power system voltage to compensate the perturbations generated by non linear load. The power factor is also improved in the current source. The PLL system is used to extract the fundamental component of the even sequence under conditions mentioned of the power system voltage.

The main purpose of the present paper is the heuristic study of the structure, properties and consequences of new class of potential functions results from the concept of pq-Radial functions which are fundamental family of solutions of second order pq-PDE. Keyword: Potential functions, Laplace equation, pq-Radial function, pq-PDE, Legendre polynomials
