The Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS) and Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) techniques can be used to obtain complementary information about the characteristics of a sample but, traditionally, a gap has separated the available computer codes for analyzing data from each technique, being hard to simultaneously analyze data from the same sample. The recent development of a free an...

One of the first challenges that language learners face is discovering which sounds make up their language. Evidence suggests that infants learn about the phonetic categories of their language between six and twelve months, as demonstrated by reduced discrimination of non-native contrasts and enhanced discrimination of native language phonetic contrasts (Werker & Tees, 1984; Narayan, Werker, & ...

Cd1−xZnxS thins films have been fabricated from ZnS/CdS/ZnS multilayer thin film systems, by using the vacuum deposition method; the Rutherford backscattering (RBS) technique have been applied in order to determine the: structure, composition, depth profile, and stoichiometric of these films. The influence of the chemical and heat treatments on the produced films also have been investigated; th...

The Response Bias Scale (RBS) and the Henry-Heilbronner Index (HHI) are two recently developed Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) validity scales empirically derived for the purpose of detecting feigned symptom report. Utilizing a veteran sample, the present study examined the utility of these and other MMPI-2 validity scales in predicting Word Memory Test (WMT) failure and ...

To order the complete compilation report, use: ADA398590 The component part is provided here to allow users access to individually authored sections f proceedings, annals, symposia, etc. However, the component should be considered within [he context of the overall compilation report and not as a stand-alone technical report. Multilayered structures of a-Si/SiO 2 sequences were deposited using a...

p After the Second World War, the so-called pharmacological explosion took place, leading to major advances in the treatment of diseases that were once inevitably fatal or disabling. This pharmacological expansion contributed to the occurrence of catastrophic incidents, such as the phocomelia epidemic attributed to thalidomide. Since then, concerns about drug safety have contributed to the deve...

Baller-Gerold syndrome (BGS) is a rare autosomal recessive condition with radial aplasia/hypoplasia and craniosynostosis (OMIM 218600). Of >20 cases reported so far, a few appear atypical and have been reassigned to other nosologic entities, including Fanconi anaemia, Roberts SC phocomelia, and Pfeiffer syndromes after demonstration of corresponding cytogenetic or molecular abnormalities. Clini...

The development of form and morphology of cartilage in limbs from control and retinoic acid-treated DBA/2J mice were studied in organ culture. Somite number at explantation (SE) ranged from 29 to 56. All cartilage segments except digits developed in cultures of 29somite control limb-buds; digits developed well only from limb-buds of SE45 and older stages. Maternal treatment with retinoic acid s...
