The composition of the essential oils of two African (“white” and “yellow”) olibanums available in the commercial market of Isfahan (Iran) was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectroscopy methods. The main constituents of the “White” olibanum oil were alpha-pinene (34.8%), li...

Children aged 8 through 11 (N = 250) were given a word-by-word sentence task in both the visual and auditory modes. The sentences included an object relative clause, a subject relative clause, or a conjoined verb phrase. Each sentence was followed by a true-false question, testing the subject of either the first or second verb. Participants were also given two memory span measures: digit span a...

Bronchomalacia in adults is rare. A case is reported here of a 65-year-old man with severe cough and mucostasis, caused by a benign bronchomalacia of the ventral wall of the left main bronchus. This was treated successfully with the insertion of a silicone Dumon stent as an alternative to surgical bronchoplasty.

niosomes are non-ionic surfactant vesicles that have potential applications in the delivery of hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. the topical form of n-acetyl glucosamine (nag) recently has been considered in the treatment of hyperpigmentation disorders due to its inhibitory effect on thyrosinase enzymes in melanocytes. to improve nag penetration into the skin we formulated the drug in niosomes...

The block caving mining method has become increasingly popular in the last two decades. Meanwhile, Indonesia several potential ore bodies which have not yet determined suitable methods. references to projects worldwide and potency of metal deposits were reviewed determine requirements for using transformed method. This can be applied on a blocky body with thickness 200–800 m, various rock mass ...

Backfilling hydraulic supports are important devices in solid backfill In order to speed up the design and manufacturing process them, this paper proposes a support reformation evaluation. The mechanical models top-coal caving were established analyze stress characteristics main structure. ABAQUS was used establish 3D numer...

This paper describes a music analyzing system called the automatic time-span tree analyzer (ATTA), which we have developed. The ATTA derives a time-span tree that assigns a hierarchy of 'structural importance' to the notes of a piece of music based on the generative theory of tonal music (GTTM). Although the time-span tree has been applied with music summarization and collaborative music creati...
