in this article, theoretical studies on the selective complexation of the halide ions (f¯, cl¯ and br¯) and ion pairs (na+f¯, na+cl¯ and na+br¯) with the cyclic nano-hexapeptide (cp) composed of l-proline have been performed in the gas phase. in order to calculate the dispersion interaction energies of the cp and ions, dft-d3 calculations at the m05-2x-d3/6-31g(d) level was employed. based on t...

background: sellick's maneuver (cricoid pressure) may make laryngoscopic view and tracheal intubation more difficult. this study compared the different techniques of cricoid pressure (cp) regarding to the laryngoscopic view and time to intubation. methods: in142 anesthetized patients, 4 types of cp was randomly applied; a) one-handed cp using thumb, index and middle fingers, b) one-handed cp us...

We compared the cryoprotective ability of glycerol and polyethylene glycol (PEG) during freezing. Isolated rat hearts were flushed with one of three cardioplegic solutions (CP-14, CP-15, and CP-16), frozen at -1.4 degrees C, and reperfused after thawing to assess function. After 3 h freezing, cardiac output (CO) in CP-14-flushed hearts recovered to 58.1% of control. CP-16 (CP-14 with 5% PEG) im...

conclusions it seems that testosterone in low dose, i.e. physiologic dose, protects kidneys against cp-induced nephrotoxicity; however, special care is needed in cp therapy of patients with high levels of ts. results cp increased the serum levels of blood urea nitrogen (bun), creatinine (cr), and malondialdehyde (smda) as well as kidney weight (kw), bodyweight (bw) loss, and kidney tissue damag...

In this work, we adress the phenomenological consequences of explicit CP violation on direct Higgs-boson searches at high energy colliders. Having a restricted parameter space, we concentrate on the recently proposed gluino-axion model, and investigate the CP violation capability of the model subject to the recent experimental data. It is shown that the Higgs masses as well as their CP composit...

We study the problem of constructing an order over a set of elements given noisy samples. We consider two models for generating the noisy samples; in both, the distribution of samples is induced by an unknown state of nature: a permutation ρ. In Mallow’s model, r permutations πi are generated independently from ρ, each with probability proportional to e−βdK(ρ,πi), where dK(ρ, πi) is the Kemeny ...

In this brief note, we suggest that the accumulating neutrino data [1–3], including the recent results from KamLAND [4] and K2K [5], point to a relatively simple neutrino mass matrix. The data can be explained by oscillations between three active neutrinos with the atmospheric neutrino and K2K data explained by oscillation between the muon and the tauon neutrinos, and the solar neutrino and Kam...
