We have demonstrated a high-flux source of polarization-entangled photons using a type-II phasematched periodically-poled KTiOPO4 parametric downconverter in a collinearly propagating configuration. We have observed quantum interference between the single-beam downconverted photons with a visibility of 99% together with a measured coincidence flux of 300/s per mW of pump. The Clauser-Horne-Shim...

A general rule determining how extremal branes can intersect in a configuration with zero binding energy is presented. It is derived in a model independent way and without explicit use of supersymmetry, solving a set of classical equations of motion. When specializing to M and type II theories, it is shown that some intersection rules can be consistently interpreted as boundary rules for open b...

Making use of non-perturbative U-duality symmetries of type II strings we construct new 'superstring' vacua in three dimensions with N=1 supersymmetry. This has an interpretation as compactifying formally from 13 dimensions (S-theory) on Calabi-Yau 5-folds possessing a T 3 × T 2 fibration. We describe some part of the massless multiplets, given by the Hodge spectrum, and point to a correspondin...

We introduce a new Bose-Fermi framework for studying spectral properties and quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in odd-mass nuclei, the presence of configuration mixing. A detailed analysis Nb isotopes discloses effects an abrupt crossing states normal intruder configurations (Type II QPT), accompanied by gradual evolution from spherical- to deformed-core shapes within I QPT). The pronounced both...

In the title compound, [Ni(C(8)H(7)O(4))(2){(CH(3))(2)SO}(2)], the Ni(II) atom is located on a crystallographic centre of symmetry and has a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry of type MO(6). The bidentate dehydro-acetic acid (DHA) ligands occupy the equatorial plane of the complex in a trans configuration, and the dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) ligands are weakly coordinated through their O...

Few data are available concerning single Ca channel properties in inner ear hair cells, and particularly none in vestibular type I hair cells. By using the cell-attached configuration of the patch-clamp technique in combination with the semicircular canal crista slice preparation, we determined the elementary properties of voltage-dependent Ca channels in chicken embryo type I and type II hair ...

Derivatives of bile acids with substituents in Ring C have been described in the preceding papers of this series (l-6). It is the purpose of this paper to assign the probable stereochemical configurations for these compounds. As desoxycholic acid (I)l is a convenient reference compound, it will first be necessary to discuss briefly the spatial arrangement of certain portions of this bile acid. ...

introduction: type ii diabetes is one of the most prevalent endocrine diseases in the world that results from a combination of insulin resistance and ß-cell failure. regarding importance of nutritional factors in management of diabetes, this study was designed to explore the effect of sesame oil on blood glucose and lipid profile in type ii diabetic patients at yazd diabetes research center in ...

background: telenursing includes every nursing and care-giving services conducted remotely. in telenursing, telephone as a device, which is available for most of the people, is being used increasingly. in a telephone-based system, patients are being contacted by health care providers on regular bases and they would be provided with some information about their illness and their treatment method...

background: skin flap grafting is a popular approach for reconstruction of critical skin and underlying soft tissue injuries. in a previous study, we demonstrated the beneficial effects of two 5α-reductase inhibitors, azelaic acid and finasteride, on tissue survival in a rat model of skin flap grafting. in the current study, we investigated the involvement of nitric oxide and inducible nitric o...
