nuclear level densities and spin cut-off factors have been deduced for nuclei in the mass region 24‹a‹63,from a microscopic theory, which includes nuclear pairing interaction. single particle levels for both seeger and nilsson potentials were used in the calcdations. level densities extracted from the theory are compared with their conesponding experimental values, it is found that the overall ...

BACKGROUND The brief Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) is commonly used to screen for depression with 10 often recommended as the cut-off score. We summarized the psychometric properties of the PHQ-9 across a range of studies and cut-off scores to select the optimal cut-off for detecting depression. METHODS We searched Embase, MEDLINE and PsycINFO from 1999 to August 2010 for studies that ...

Self-replicating loops presented to date are usually worlds unto themselves, inaccessible to observer once the replication process is launched. In this paper we present a self-replicating loop which allows for user interaction. Specifically, the user can control the loop’s replication as well as the size of the replica. After presenting the design of this novel loop, we delineate its physical i...

Background: Introduction: Searching for an ideal marker for diagnosing neonatal infection is still an important concern in every country. There are many biomarkers reported for neonatal sepsis. Haptoglobin is an acute phase reactants which rise in response to infection and injuries. In this report we discussed the efficacy of serum haptoglobin level in different cut off levels in early onset ne...
