A statistical generalization of disease incidence based on post-mortem findings has its drawbacks as well as its advantages. In India where autopsies among^ the not-too-poor class of patients in the hospitals and the private patients outside are 1 tabooAvhere the subjects are mostly unclaimed bodies of beggars, vagrants and inmates of jails and asylums an adequate cross-section of the populatio...

Since radio sources with Ultra Steep Spectra (USS; α ∼ < −1.30;S ∝ ν) are efficient tracers of high redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs), we have defined three samples of such USS sources using the recently completed WENSS, TEXAS, MRC, NVSS and PMN radiosurveys. Our combined sample contains 669 sources with S1400 > 10 mJy and covers virtually the entire sky outside the Galactic plane (|b| > 15). For...

This work investigates the application of bifurcation diagrams in the chaotic study of nonlinear RLC electrical circuits. The relevant second order differential equations were solved for ranges of appropriate parameters using Runge-Kutta approach. The solutions obtained were employed to produce bifurcation diagrams using Microsoft excel 2007. The mean estimate of 669 . 4   obtained from the b...

We report a simple stepped growth process for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) having excellent field emission properties. CNT growth was interrupted in the process. During the interruption, the catalyst was re-activated in-situ. This resulted in enhanced growth of the CNTs after the interruption and a film of CNTs re-grew on top of an existing CNT film at much higher rates. The enhance...

Top-down and bottom-up mass spectrometry methods can generate gas phase fragments and use these to identify proteins. Top-down methods, in addition, can provide the mass of the protein itself and therefore additional structural information. Despite the conceptual advantage of top-down methods, the market share advantage belongs to bottom-up methods as a result of their more robust sample prepar...
