A [0, m]-space is a linear space with the following property: For any point-line pair (x, G) there are at most m lines through x which are coplanar with G and which have no point in common with G. For every [0, m]-space (M, 90l) we define an order o r d M in a natural way. For dimM~>3 and o r d M ~ > 3 m + 2 , every [0, m]-space (M, 991) can be embedded in a projective space (P, £) with dim P =...

Whtle many people report interruptions from problem-solking to be beneficial for the creative process (‘incubation’). experimental demonstration of the phenomenon has been difficult. Factors that might lead to incubation effects are discussed and implemented in a study in which SO university students solved u-ord-association problems under continuous work or interrupted condttions. The interrup...

Background Anthracyclines are important components of many chemotherapeutic protocols. The present study aimed to evaluate the repolarization changes in electrocardiography (ECG) which may predict drug induced arrhythmia. Materials and Methods In this cross-sectional study, the recorded ECGs were assessed for QT dispersion (QTd), QT corrected dispersion (QTcd), T peak to Tend dispersion (TPe...

In this study, a novel mesoporous silica nanoparticles drug carrier contributes to improving the solubility, dissolution, and the oral bioavailability of apigenin (AP). The apigenin of solid dispersion of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (AP-MSN) was prepared by physical absorption method and also, in-vitro drug release and in-vivo bioavailability performance were evaluated. Based on its solubil...

introductionair pollution is the introduction of particulates, biological molecules, or other harmful materials into the earth's atmosphere, possibly causing disease, death to humans, damage to other living organisms such as food crops, or the natural or built environment. the atmosphere is a complex natural gaseous system that is essential to support life on planet earth. stratospheric oz...

This article presents the approach and current findings of the EO2HEAVEN project, in particular from the Saxony Case Study. The aim of the Case Study is the conceptual design of a Spatial Information Infrastructure for better understanding the complex relationship between ambient air quality and its influence on the human health. This includes air quality modelling and a statistical analysis of...

This manuscript presents an overview of the current experimental situation regarding nucleon decay and the measured flux of atmospheric neutrinos. Previous and on-going experiments are reviewed, the data are presented, and new outstanding questions are posed. The SuperKamiokande project is described and its expected sensitivity for improving measurements of the nucleon lifetime and the atmosphe...

Let Ng(d) be the set of primes p such that the order of g modulo p, ordp(g), is divisible by a prescribed integer d. Wiertelak showed that this set has a natural density, δg(d), with δg(d) ∈ Q>0. Let Ng(d)(x) be the number of primes p ≤ x that are in Ng(d). A simple identity for Ng(d)(x) is established. It is used to derive a more compact expression for δg(d) than known hitherto.

The successful launch of the Landsat 8 satellite with two thermal infrared bands on February 11, 2013, for continuous Earth observation provided another opportunity for remote sensing of land surface temperature (LST). However, calibration notices issued by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) indicated that data from the Landsat 8 Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) Band 11 have large uncerta...
