Traditionally, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been evaluated as a unique entity in genotyping studies. However, recent biological data suggest that different NSCLC subtypes, specifically adenocarcinomas (AC) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), differentially alter cancer behavior. Several studies have associated a p53 polymorphism at codon 72 with NSCLC susceptibility. This study invest...

OBJECTIVE This study assesses the epidemiological pattern of lung cancer cell-types in Ireland, with identification of any underlying gender variations. METHODS Lung cancer incidence data, including the major cell-types: squamous-cell-carcinoma (SCC), adenocarcinoma (AC), small-cell-lung-carcinoma (SCLC) and large-cell-carcinoma (LCC) were obtained from the national cancer registry (1994-2000...

A novel two-dimensional coordination polymer of the formula [Co(dca)2(atz)2]n () resulted from assembling trans-bis(2-amino-1,3,5-triazine)cobalt(ii) motifs by dicyanamide spacers. Variable-temperature dc and ac magnetic susceptibility measurements of show that the high-spin cobalt(ii) ions act as single ion magnets (SIMs).

A new macrocyclic complex DyCl3(LN5)·4H2O (1) has been prepared in which the Dy(III) ion is equatorially bound by an N5-donor macrocycle (LN5). Ac susceptibility data reveal slow relaxation of the magnetisation in zero field below 15 K with a distribution of relaxation rates.

The synthesis and structural and magnetic characterization of an S = 6 cyanide-bridged octanuclear FeIII4NiII4 (1) complex is described. Ac susceptibility and mu-SQUID measurements suggest that fast magnetization relaxation is present in zero-field due to quantum tunneling of the ground spin state (QTM) while application of small magnetic fields induces slow relaxation of the magnetization.

People usually research modulation mode 3 of SVM for matrix converter discussed in this paper. Actually, other different modulation modes of SVM for matrix converter are worth studying. Two novel modulation modes are put forward for matrix converter for the first time in this paper, expanding its modulation modes of SVM. First, SVM for matrix converter is described. Then the 3 modulation modes ...

The matrix converter system is competitive solution to replace the conventional two stage ac to ac converter. In this paper, a matrix converter driving a speed-controlled induction machine is examined under open-switch fault. First, a-predictive direct torque method is proposed using only the motor torque and current. Second, a motor speed control is presented. The proposed techniques do not re...

We carried out ac magnetic susceptibility measurements and muon spin relaxation spectroscopy on the cubic double perovskite Ba2YMoO6, down to 50mK. Below∼1K the muon relaxation is typical of a magnetic insulator with a spin-liquid type ground state, i.e. without broken symmetries or frozen moments. However, the ac susceptibility revealed a dilute-spin-glass-like transition below ∼1K. Antiferrom...

Delocalized π electrons in aromatic ring structures generally induce diamagnetism. In graphite oxide, however, π electrons develop ferromagnetism due to the unique structure of the material. The π electrons are only mobile in the graphitic regions of graphite oxide, which are dispersed and surrounded by sp3-hybridized carbon atoms. The spin-glass behavior of graphite oxide is corroborated by th...
