Natural soils have been polluted by variety of human activity such as urbanization, industrialization and excessive fertilizer pesticide usage. However, the agricultural alongside highways, especially those international ones, are relatively at higher risk heavy metal pollution depending on intensive track traffic. Therefore, total 72 soil samples from 24 sampling sites were taken 5 km interval...

For the quadruple gravitational lens PG 1115+080, we combine recent measurements of the time delays with new lens models to determine the Hubble constant H 0. We explore the effects of systematic uncertainties in the lens models on the estimates of H 0 , and we discuss how the uncertainties can be reduced by future observations. We find that the lens cannot be fit by an isolated lens galaxy, bu...

A new architecture is presented for a Networked Signal Processing System (NSPS) suitable for handling the real-time signal processing of multi-element radio telescopes. In this system, a multi-element radio telescope is viewed as an application of a multi-sensor, data fusion problem which can be decomposed into a general set of computing and network components for which a practical and scalable...

The M1 muscarine agonist, 5-(2-ethyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-1-methyl-1,2, 3,6-tetrahydropyridine (Lu 25-109), is extensively metabolized in mice, rats, dogs, and humans. The metabolite profile after an oral dose of [(14)C]Lu 25-109 was determined in plasma and in urine. Lu 25-109 was metabolized by N-demethylation (Lu 25-077), N-oxidation (Lu 32-181), and N-deethylation (Lu 31-126). In addition, com...
