Neutrophil (PMNL) function is influenced by factors released by other immune cells during the course of the immune response. We investigated the effect of neutrophil cell density and the effect of supernatant of the phagocytosis assay on the phagocytosis activity of PMNLs. The measurements were carried out with naive (control) PMNLs of healthy donors and with PMNLs obtained from patients with s...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of mast cell count and angiogenesis on the prognosis of renal cell carcinoma. METHODS The retrospective study was conducted at the Harran University, Sanliurfa, Turkey, and included 64 cases with diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma between 2002 and 2012. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed on paraffin sections using the standard streptavidin-biotin immun...

In this paper we give a selective review of our work on the role of electron correlation in the theory of high temperature superconductivity. The question of how electronic repulsions might give rise to off-diagonal long range order (ODLRO) in high temperature superconductors is currently one of the key questions in the theory of condensed matter. This paper argues that the key to understanding...

Periodogram is an important tool to reveal hidden periodicities in a given time series but does not tell whether the resulting spectral lines are associated with constant or random amplitude harmonics. Applications dealing with random amplitude models include Doppler spread targets and detection in the presence of fading. We propose to estimate the variance of the harmonic amplitude and then ma...

This paper proposes a new nonparametric method for estimation of spectral moments of a zero-mean Gaussian process immersed in additive white Gaussian noise. Although the technique is valid for any order moment, particular attention is given to the mean Doppler (first moment) and to the spectral width (square root of the centered second-spectral moment). By assuming that the power spectral densi...

Abstract. We present a novel experiment with the capacity to independently measure both the electron density and the magnetic field of the solar corona. We achieve this through measurement of the excess Faraday rotation due to propagation of the polarised emission from a number of pulsars through the magnetic field of the solar corona. This method yields independent measures of the integrated e...

A simple one-dimensional model of Maxwellian injection into a cylindrical Penning–Malmberg trap is presented. This model is used to predict the radial density profile of an electron column produced by a biased cathode with an r potential variation. The column density n(r) is assumed to depend upon the cathode potential voltage Vk(r) and the self-consistent space-charge potential f(r) as n(r)}ex...

Observations from the WHISPER (Waves of High frequency and Sounder for Probing of Electron density by Relaxation) instrument on board Cluster, for the interval spanning 2001–2012, are utilized to determine an empirical model describing the total electron density along closed geomagnetic field lines. The model, representing field lines in the region of 4.5≤ L<9.5, includes dependences on L and m...

Nuclear spins are polarized electrically in a breakdown regime of an odd-integer quantum Hall effect (QHE). Electron excitation to the upper Landau subband with the opposite spin polarity flips nuclear spins through the hyperfine interaction. The polarized nuclear spins reduce the spin-splitting energy and accelerate the QHE breakdown. The Knight shift of the nuclear spins is also measured by t...

jimsonweed (datura stramonium l.) is an important weed in bean fields in iran. in order to investigate the effect of density and relative time of emergence of jimsonweed on yield and yield components of chitti bean, a field study based on factorial experiment was conducted at farm bean research national station in khomein in 2006. treatments were chosen to provide four different weed densities ...
