An initial application of CPT results is to evaluate soil type and soil stratigraphy. One of the more common CPT-based methods to estimate soil type is the chart suggested by Robertson et al (1986) based on cone resistance, qc and friction ratio, Rf. Although newer charts have been developed based on normalized parameters, the simple chart based on qc and Rf is still popular because it is easy ...

PURPOSE To determine if achromatopsia associated F525N and T383fsX mutations in the CNGB3 subunit of cone photoreceptor cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels increases susceptibility to cell death in photoreceptor-derived cells. METHODS Photoreceptor-derived 661W cells were transfected with cDNA encoding wild-type (WT) CNGA3 subunits plus WT or mutant CNGB3 subunits, and incubated with the m...

We analyze functional analytic aspects of axiomatic formulations of nonlocal and noncommutative quantum field theories. In particular, we completely clarify the relation between the asymptotic commutativity condition, which ensures the CPT symmetry and the standard spin-statistics relation for nonlocal fields, and the regularity properties of the retarded Green’s functions in momentum space tha...
