1 Estimates of the mass of dust suspended in the Martian atmosphere are derived from global and regional 9 pm opacity maps produced from Viking Infrared Thermal Mapper data. During the peak of the 1977b storm, a total dust mass of approximately 101 S gm was suspended, equivalent to 10-3 gm/cm2, or a layer 4 Lm thick. During a local dust storm near Solis Planum at Ls 227°, approximately 3.56 x 1...

Prorenin, the precursor of renin, exists in circulating blood at concentrations that are 5 to 10 higher than those of renin. For many years, prorenin was considered to be an inactive form of renin with no physiological role. Then, in the mid-80s of the last century, Luetscher et al reported that the levels of circulating prorenin (but not renin) are increased in diabetic subjects.1 Subsequent s...

in order to understand the importance of particle size and agglomeration for nano-eco-toxicological studies in aquatic environments, the acute toxicity of two different types (suspended powder and colloidal) of silver nanoparticles (agnps) were studied in alevin and juvenilerainbow trout. fish were exposed to each type of agnps at nominal concentrations of 0.032, 0.1, 0.32, 1, 3.2, 10, 32, and ...

Jets from active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the cores of galaxy clusters have the potential to be a major contributor to the energy budget of the intracluster medium (ICM). To study the dependence of the interaction between the AGN jets and the ICM on the parameters of the jets themselves, we present a parameter survey of two-dimensional (axisymmetric) ideal hydrodynamic models of back-to-back je...

This paper presents a novel compact suspended double side millimeter bandpass filter (BPF) with wide stopband using Suspended Compact Microstrip Resonant Cell (SCMRC). For SCMRC exhibits slow-wave band-stop characteristics, two distributed SCMRC structures are designed to achieve wide stopband characteristic. By applying SCMRC structure and double side design, this novel BPF is size reduced. Ba...
