M and hashish are widespread drugs of abuse that contain D9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a bioactive ingredient best known for its psychotropic effects. Remarkably, THC also produces multiple nonpsychotropic effects: for example, analgesia, hypotension, modulation of bronchospasm, and reduction of inflammation (1–6). That THC also influences sexual behavior was clearly demonstrated for the first...

Sarah J. Freemantle, Yongli Guo and Ethan Dmitrovsky Successful clinical cancer chemoprevention with retinoids was promised by compelling preclinical and early clinical evidence. Indeed, the concept of cancer chemoprevention came largely from studies showing retinoid suppression of epithelial carcinogenesis (1–4). Yet, randomized phase III intergroup chemoprevention trials with the classic reti...

Background: Improvement of a-tocopherol content is an important breeding aim to increase the nutritional value of crops. Several efforts have been conducted to improve the a-tocopherol content in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] through transgenic technology by overexpressing genes related to a-tocopherol biosynthesis or through changes to crop management practices. Varieties with high a-tocoph...

During the crystallization study of the bulk metallic glass Zr46.8Ti8.2Cu7.5Ni10Be27.5 (Vit4) we have demonstrated that the primary crystals appearing during isothermal annealing in the glass region, above Tg and before Tx, were of quasicrystalline nature and beryllium free. The formula of the quasicrystalline phase so obtained and determined by electron techniques (EDX and EELS) was Zr63Ti14.4...

The purpose of dimensional inspection is to verify the geometry of a manufactured part. A machined part is either accepted or rejected based upon the sensed errors between the object and its specified geometry as defined in a CAD (Computer Aided Design) model or other model database. Various sensors can be used for inspection tasks. The use of multiple sensors is relatively new in this applicat...
