Scrum of hypercholesterolemic rabbits, when pulsated for 72 hours at pressures of 300 mm. Hg/0 mm. Hg with a pulse rate of 80 produced a birefringent deposit in excised pieces of rabbit aortae. Scrum from normal rabbits did not produce this deposit. The active component or components responsible for this deposit are in the |8-lipoprotein fraction of serum. The birefringent material is detectabl...

MELIBEA is a directory of institutional open-access policies for research output that uses a composite formula with eight weighted conditions to estimate the “strength” of Open Access mandates (registered in ROARMAP). We analyzed total Web of Science-(WoS)-indexed publication output in years 20112013 for 67 institutions where OA was mandated in order to estimate the mandates’ effectiveness: How...

The Sungun copper deposit is located in about 40km north west of Ahar city in the east Azarbaigan province of Iran. The total geological ore deposit is estimated to be 740 million tons. In this study using all information from exploration and geotechnical studies of the area, final pit limits of Sungun copper deposit is designed by the 2-D Lerchs & Grossmann Algorithm. By this method, from 740 ...
