Generalized 1Hz, burst-and-slow-wave complexes were observed in a comatosed patient with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) when she showed extremely intractable, generalized convulsions and fragmented myoclonus in the whole body. Two types of short-latency SEPs were obtained separately during the burst and slow phase of the EEG (SEP-burst and SEP-slow, respectively), which showed a tw...

Pulse Radiolysis, y-Radiolysis, 2-Deoxy-D-ribose, G-values, Radical Reactions In the photolysis of 5-bromouracil containing DNA Br atoms are expected inter mediates. In order to evaluate the possible site of attack of the Br atom at the sugar moiety of DNA the reaction of 2-deoxy-D-ribose with the Br atom (complexed with two bromide ions) was investigated. Hydroxyl radicals generated by the rad...

Global environmental issues are one of the most urgent problems in the present day world, not only in the field of sciences but also in the international social and political juncture. CFCs were found to deplete the ozone layer in the stratosphere, which covers the whole earth and protects the biosphere. The leakage of CFCs at any place in the world, therefore, is responsible for the biosphere....

We report a new method for measurement of the isotopic composition of nitrate (NO3-) at the natural-abundance level in both seawater and freshwater. The method is based on the isotopic analysis of nitrous oxide (N20) generated from nitrate by denitrifying bacteria that lack N2O-reductase activity. The isotopic composition of both nitrogen and oxygen from nitrate are accessible in this way. In t...

Normalized values of cross sections for the production of ions by electron impact on N20 and NO have been obtained by utilizing the relative flow technique. The accurately known values of cross sections for the production of singly charged ions of rare gases from the parent atoms have been used for the normalization. Cross sections for the generation of fragment ions have been measured for the ...

BACKGROUND Bilaterally absent N20 components of the sensory evoked potentials (SEP) from the median nerve are regarded as accurately predicting poor outcome after cardiac arrest. CASE PRESENTATION We are reporting on a patient, who regained consciousness despite this ominous finding. Early after cardiac arrest, MRI showed signal alterations in diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) bilaterally in t...

Solvent fractionation of high oleic-high stearic (HOHS) sunflower oil was studied to determine the best solvent to use (hexane or acetone) in terms of the operational parameters and properties of the final stearins. Acetone fractionation on two types of HOHS sunflower oils (N17 and N20) was carried out at temperatures from 5 to 10 °C using micelles with different oil/solvent ratios. Acetone was...

Cover crops have been introduced in European agricultural systems due to their multiple agro-ecological services and environmental benefits, which do not necessarily affect profitability. Our paper follows a systematic literature review approach highlight the results of 51 studies on effects adopting cover crops. We used list 41 agri-environmental sustainability indicators present different imp...

Natural discontinuities as well mechanical properties are the difficult-to-control parameters that significantly influence fragmentation of marble after blasting. In Central Africa, Bidzar quarry is only one producing marble, plagued for decades by block problems, requiring multiple blasts cause huge costs and environmental problems. The objective this study to predict rock improve its geologic...
