In the last decade alpha−stable distributions have become a standard model for impulsive data. Especially the linear symmetric alpha−stable processes have found applications in various fields. When the process parameters are time−invariant, various techniques are available for estimation. However, time−invariance is an important restriction given that in many communications applications channel...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Tumours are now considered as complex tissues including endothelial cells of the tumour vasculature, which can decrease radiotherapy efficacy. It is thus important to better characterise the response of both types of cells to irradiation. This study investigated the effects of X-ray and alpha particle irradiation on cancer and endothelial cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS A5...

Knowledge of the low-lying monopole strength in $\mathrm{^{12}C}$ $-$ Hoyle state particular is crucial for our understanding both astrophysically important $3\alpha$ reaction and $\alpha$-particle clustering. Multiple theoretical models have predicted a breathing mode State at $E_{x} \approx 9$ MeV, corresponding to radial in-phase oscillation underlying $\alpha$ clusters. The $\mathrm{^{12}C}...

The distributions of plasma lipoprotein alpha-tocopherol and lipids were studied in African green monkeys consuming diets enriched in saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated fatty acids. Plasma total alpha-tocopherol concentrations were not different among the animals fed the three diets, whereas plasma total cholesterol concentrations were significantly different among the diet groups. ...

We study structures of the $0^+$ states $^{13}_\Lambda$C within framework $\alpha+\alpha+\alpha+\Lambda$ four-body orthogonality condition model with Gaussian expansion method. obtain five and compare them low-lying four $^{12}$C. find that $0_1^+$, $0_2^+$ $0_4^+$ correspond to $^{12}$C, respectively. also both $0_3^+$ $0_5^+$ have analogous nature state where additional $\Lambda$ particle cou...

Integrin-associated protein (IAP/CD47) is physically associated with the alpha v beta 3 vitronectin (Vn) receptor and a functionally and immunologically related integrin on neutrophils (PMN) and monocytes. Anti-IAP antibodies inhibit multiple phagocyte functions, including Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-initiated activation of phagocytosis, chemotaxis, and respiratory burst; PMN adhesion to entactin; and PM...
