Lamellar neutron diffraction from oriented multilayers of hydrated dipalmitoyl lecithin was phased by isomorphous H(2)O-D(2)O exchange and swelling techniques. Bound water sites were located in the polar head group region of the bilayer profile. A 6-A resolution structure based on the neutron scattering density profile is proposed for the bilayer. It is consistent with the electron density prof...

We explore the dynamical restrictions on the structure of dark matter halos through a study of cosmological self-similar gravitational collapse solutions. A fluid approach to the collisionless dynamics of dark matter is developed and the resulting closed set of moment equations are solved numerically including the effect of halo velocity dispersions (both radial and tangential), for a range of ...

the concentration of adiponectin, a hormone which is secreted from adipose tissue, is inversely correlated with body fat mass. this hormone has anti inflammatory and anti atherogenic properties. its concentration reduces in metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. this study reviews the evidence on the relationship between serum adiponectin concentration and lipid profile. in this study ...

The lithium beam diagnostic at COMPASS is designed for measurements of the edge plasma density profile and fluctuations and edge plasma current fluctuations. The principle of the diagnostic is detection of light coming from collisionally excited Li atoms — beam emission spectroscopy (BES) and a direct detection of the ionized part of the beam (atomic beam probe — ABP). For slow density measurem...

Wereview thephysics of charged impurities in the vicinity of graphene. The long-range nature of Coulomb impurities affects both the nature of the ground state density profile and graphene’s transport properties. We discuss the screening of a single Coulomb impurity and the ensemble averaged density profile of graphene in the presence of many randomly distributed impurities. Finally, we discuss ...

N-body simulations find a universal structure for the halos which result from the nonlinear growth of Gaussian-random-noise density fluctuations in the CDM universe. This talk summarized our attempts to derive and explain this universal structure by analytical approximation and simplified models. As an example, we show here that a 1D spherical infall model involving a fluid approximation derive...

Background: The purpose of this randomized study was to examine the effects of a supervised aerobic training program on anthropometry, lipid profile and body composition of obese adult leukemia survivors. Methods: Fifty-four obese adult leukemia survivors were allocated randomly into two groups of equal number. The intervention group underwent a supervised aerobic training program for 30-40 mi...

The density collapse was observed in the improved confinement mode sustained by the hot cathode biasing in Tohoku University Heliac (TU-Heliac). The density profiles showed the steep gradient around the core plasma region before the collapse. The steep density profile collapsed accompanied with the bursting high frequency fluctuation (100 < f < 500 kHz), which had m = 2 ~ 3 poloidal mode number...

Two versions of the fundamental measure density functionals together with a new interfacial density profile parametrization were used to study the hard-sphere crystal-melt interface in the framework of the fundamental measure density functional theory. The equilibrium interfacial density profiles and interfacial free energies were found as a result of minimization of grand canonical potential o...
