nanocomposites based on polyamide 6/polypropylene  )pa6/pp 67/33) blend containing 2.5 to 10 phr of nano-caco3  and 5 phr of maleated polypropylene )pp-g-mah) as compatibilizer were prepared by melt compounding followed by injection molding. the mechanical properties, water absorption, as well as shrinkage behavior were characterized and the morphology was studied using scanning electron micros...

Education of Defectives in the Public Schools. By Meta L. Anderson. Yonkers, N. Y.: World Book Company, 1917. Pp. xvii+104. Miss Anderson has set forth, in a thoroughly practical way, the methods used by teachers of defectives in the more progressive American cities. A serious weakness in her book, is that she ignores nearly everything that has been accomplished outside of Newark, N. J., Vinela...

Dexrazoxane (ICRF-187) is a catalytic inhibitor of the nuclear enzyme DNA topoisomerase II (topo II). It protects cells against topo II poisons, such as etoposide and teniposide, by hindering the DNA cleavage reaction of the target enzyme. We have previously shown that this antagonism also extends to an in vivo model. Thus, ICRF-187 protected mice against supralethal doses of etoposide and amsa...

We show that uniform families of ACC circuits of subexponential size cannot compute the permanent function. This also implies similar lower bounds for certain sets in PP. This is one of the very few examples of a lower bound in circuit complexity where the uniformity condition is essential; it is still unknown if there is any set in Ntime (2 n O(1) ) that does not have nonuniform ACC circuits.
