sulphosalts in the system agsbs2-agass2 have been experimentally investigated using dry methods. the solid solutions which form between ?-miargyrite and smithite have different structures. the epma data for the solid solution series show that there is an inverse relation between sb and as. the cell parameters of the solid solution between ?-miargyrite and smithite increase up to about 50% of ag...

hypertonic saline solution can absorb part of the intracellular fluid volume into the extracellular space. the effects of this solution on the cardiovascular system are increased coronary flow and increased left ventricular contraction, without sympathetic system activation. this study was designed to assess the effects of hypertonic saline solution in open heart surgery and to compare it with ...

ammonium carbonate and ammonium sulfate have been proposed and used as two new fuels for synthesizing gamma alumina nanoparticles. the prepared samples have been characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), 2 n  adsorption (bet) and transmission electron microscopy (tem). a comparison has been made between the properties of the nanoparticles synthesized by these two fuels and other conventional fu...

Existence and uniqueness of solutions for Hele-shaw moving boundary problem for power-law fluid is established in the framework of viscosity solutions.

In this paper we provide generalizations of Zubov’s equation to differential games without Isaacs’ condition. We show that both generalizations of Zubov’s equation (which we call min-max and max-min Zubov equation, respectively) possess unique viscosity solutions which characterize the respective controllability domains. As a consequence, we show that under the usual Isaacs condition the respec...

In this paper we study the generalized mean curvature flow of sets in the sub-Riemannian geometry of Carnot groups. We extend to our context the level sets method and the weak (viscosity) solutions introduced in the Euclidean setting in [29] and [14]. We establish two special cases of the comparison principle, existence, uniqueness and basic geometric properties of the flow.

The presence of systematic noise in images in high-throughput microscopy experiments can significantly impact the accuracy of downstream results. Among the most common sources of systematic noise is non-homogeneous illumination across the image field. This often adds an unacceptable level of noise, obscures true quantitative differences and precludes biological experiments that rely on accurate...

We evaluated the in vitro and in vivo activity of a novel topical myeloperoxidase-mediated antimicrobial, E-101 solution, against 5 multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates recovered from wounded American soldiers. Time-kill studies demonstrated rapid bactericidal activity against all A. baumannii strains tested in the presence of 3% blood. The in vitro bactericidal activity of E-10...
