150 specimens from suspected herpes simplex genital and skin lesions were received in virus transport medium. They were inoculated into Hep-2 cell monolayers, examined for the presence of virus by cytopathic effect (CPE), direct immunoperoxidase (DIP) and direct immunofluorescence (DIF). Of 39 (26.0%) virus-positive specimens by CPE, 37 (24.7%) were HSV-positive by DIP and 36 (24.0%) by DIF sta...

Millisecond dips in the RXTE/PCA archival data of Sco X-1 taken from 1996 to 2002 were reported recently. Those dips were found to be most likely caused by instrumental dead time but may also contain some true astronomical events, which were interpreted as the occultation of X-rays from Sco X-1 by Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNO) of 100m size. Here we report the results of search for millisecond d...

We report fluorescence-dip as well as ion-dip spectra of single rovibronic one-photon states of benzene with a linewidth as narrow as 0.14 cm'1. The selective excitation of the rovibronic states was achieved through the combination of a frequency-doubled pulsed amplified cw dye laser (Avuv 100 MHz) and a collimated molecular beam. The detailed analysis of the dip spectra shows that the observed...

This paper presents a software tool for a three-phase voltage dip signal generator, which can be used to generate waveforms similar to those recorded. The voltage dip signal generator is designed to shape the voltage waveforms for the three phases, using random functions for almost all possible parameters. The advantage of using the generated waveforms instead of real data measurements is that ...

RP-HPLC chromatographic method was developed for determination of Hyoscine Butyl Bromide (HBB) and Dipyrone ( DIP). In this method, HBB and DIP were separated by using C18 (25 cm×4.6 mm i.d. 5μm particle size) column as a stationary phase and using water: methanol (50:50) v/v pH adjusted to 7.0 with triflouroacetic acid and triethylamine) as a mobile phase, maintaining the flow rate at 1.0 mL m...

The appearance of a convex dip in the microcanonical entropy of finite systems usually signals a first order transition. However, a convex dip also shows up in some systems with a continuous transition as, for example, in the Baxter-Wu model and in the four-state Potts model in two dimensions. We demonstrate that the appearance of a convex dip in those cases can be traced back to a finite-size ...

Desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) is an uncommon form of interstitial lung disease demonstrating good response to corticosteroid therapy and favorable prognosis. In rare cases, patients with DIP fail to respond to corticosteroid therapy, and may progress to end-stage fibrotic lung disease with respiratory failure. For such patients, well defined treatment regimen does not exist until no...
