Muon colliders are a possible future tool for the exploration of physics at the TeV scale and beyond. The current status of the developent of the muon collider concept is described in Ref. [1], which includes a description of a 3 TeV center-ofmass (COM) machine. One of the major challenges to realizing a highluminosity muon collider is to cool the diffuse bunches of muons produced in pion decay...

The incidence of malignant melanoma has increased steadily over the past 30 years and this type of malignancy is the leading cause of death from cutaneous malignant disease. Cutaneous malignancies, including melanoma, can be detected at a very early stage and a cure is possible with prompt detection and treatment. In recent years, and mainly because of increased awareness of the early detection...

TOP Objective: To compare the vowel and consonant identification ability of cochlear implant patients using a 6-channel continuous interleaved sampling (CIS) processor and of normal-hearing subjects using simulations of processors with two to nine channels. Design: Subjects, 10 normal-hearing listeners and seven cochlear implant patients, were presented synthetic vowels in /bVt/ context, natura...

Oxygen delivery to the tissues is crucial to survival but our understanding of the processes involved in the transport of oxygen from blood to tissue is incomplete. The aim of the present work is to illustrate a long-standing paradox regarding such transport by reporting new state-of-the-art measurements and by analyzing the results in several ways, thereby exploring possible resolutions of the...

Diskhaler (FP-DH), developed for inhalation of corticosteroids, is widely used for the treatment of asthma. A dry powder inhaler (DPI) is a breath controlled drug delivery system, in which a turbulent airstream is created by exploiting the patient’s own inspiratory flow rate and is required to aerosolize particles for inhalation at a satisfactory peak inspiratory flow rate, which can achieve su...

Rotational band structures in Dy were studied by projectile inelastic excitation on a Sn target at near-barrier energies. States with spin up to 24(22) of the ground-state band and 18(18) of the g-vibrational band in Dy(Dy) were populated in these reactions. States with spin spanning from 8 to 20 of the rotationally aligned S band in Dy were populated by way of its band-crossing point with the ...

to evaluate the effect of different application methods of different strains of pgpr on sorghum forage production, a field experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture of university of tehran in karaj during 2009. the treatments were arranged factorially and the data was analyzed based on a complete block design with three replications. the treatments comprised of three p...
