We have investigated excited-state electron transfer in a donor-bridge-acceptor complex containing phenothiazine (PTZ) linked via tris(meta-phenylene-ethynylene) to a tricarbonyl(bipyridine)(pyridine)Re(I) unit. Time-resolved luminescence experiments reveal two excited-state (*Re) decay regimes, a multiexponential component with a mean lifetime of 2.7 ns and a longer monoexponential component o...

Motivated by the recent PAMELA and ATIC results, we calculate the electron and positron fluxes from the decay of lightest-superparticle (LSP) dark matter. We assume that the LSP is the dominant component of dark matter, and consider the case that the R-parity is very weakly violated so that the lifetime of the LSP becomes of the order of 1026 sec. We will see that, with such a choice of the lif...

background: the brown-banded cockroach, supella longipalpa , is not as common as the german cockroach in iran. this species seeks out areas that are very warm most of the time, and prefer warmer area than what german cock­roaches pre­fer. there is relationship between development of instars and diet of cockroaches. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of different diets on biology,...

It is generally considered as self evident that the lifetime of our vacuum in the landscape of string theory cannot be much shorter than the current age of the universe. Here I show why this lower limit is invalid. A certain type of " parallel universes " is a necessary consequence of the string-landscape dynamics and might well allow us to " survive " vacuum decay. As a consequence our stringy...

In this paper the performance of the proposed DLMT and CLMT algorithms are compared. These proposed algorithms tend to extend the node lifetime. Decentralized lifetime maximizing tree(DLMT) features in nodes with higher energy to be chosen as data aggregating parents while Centralized Lifetime Maximizing Tree(CLMT) features with the identification of the bottleneck node to collect data in a cen...

In October 2011, we had our 7th General Meeting of the Society in San Diego organized by Guy Salvesen, Matt Bogyo and their colleagues. I would like to thank Matt and Guy on the behalf of the Society for all the hard work it took to organize an excellent meeting and for the great hospitality. You can read more about it in the complete meeting report in this issue. At the Meeting we welcomed Chr...

i We present single photon annihilation results from the MARK II detector at PEP based on 100 pb-l of integrated luminosity taken at a center of mass energy fi = 29 GeV. A study of inclusive leptons for momenta 2 2 GeV/c yield the average semileptonic branching ratios of bottom (b) and charm (c) quarks and information about the b fragmentation function. A measurement of the bottom hadron lifeti...

Temporal events are typically visualized on a time line indicating the date they occurred. This perspective is useful when the questions one wishes to answer are related to the date of occurrence. This view, however, makes it difficult to identify patterns related to the relative duration between events or the sequential order. We demonstrate how the simple notion of temporal alignment by some ...

BACKGROUND TO THE DEBATE Schizophrenia affects an estimated 25 million people in low- and middle-income countries, with an average lifetime risk of about 1%. The illness is associated with excess mortality from a variety of causes. A 2001 Institute of Medicine report on mental illness in developing countries found that in 1990, over two-thirds of people with schizophrenia in these countries wer...
