The superconducting transition temperature T, and its pressure dependence dT,IdP of HgBazCaCuz06+8 (Hg-1212) and HgBa,[email protected]+8 (Hg-1223) were measured up to 17 kbar. T, increases with pressure approximately linearly for both compounds before oxidation. However, the nonlinearity in the T,-P correlation shows up after oxidation in both compounds. For Hg-1212, the average dT,ldP decreases as oxy...

Solving a semi-Markov decision process (SMDP) using value or policy iteration requires precise knowledge of the probabilistic model and suffers from the curse of dimensionality. To overcome these limitations, we present a reinforcement learning approach where one optimizes the SMDP performance criterion with respect to a family of parameterised policies. We propose an online algorithm that simu...

To clone and express the genes encoding major antigens of Entamoeba histolytica, we constructed a lambda gt11 cDNA library for E. histolytica HM1:IMSS and screened it with pooled sera from patients with amoebiasis. A 1,223-bp cDNA was cloned (clone 1223), and its nucleotide sequence was determined. The amino acid sequence predicted to be encoded by the open reading frame of clone 1223 consisted...

The equilibrium crystal shape of Bi-saturated Cu at 1223 K has been studied, after quenching the material to room temperature, by a scanning electron microscopy investigation of the shapes of pores (or negative crystals) that are present on grain boundary fracture surfaces. Bi-saturation of Cu surfaces at 1223 K results in dramatic changes in the ECS compared to pure Cu. Whereas all possible su...

A sensitive and specific HPLC method with internal standard was developed and validated to determine vitexin-2”-O-rhamnoside (VOR) in rat plasma after oral and intravenous administration. VOR presented a very low bioavailability, the P-glycoprotein inhibitors such as verapamil and ketoconazole and absorption promoting agent, i.e. bile salts were therefore respectively applied to investigate the...

We report resonant electronic Raman scattering in optimally doped single layer HgBa2CuO4+δ (Hg-1201) and trilayer HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+δ (Hg-1223) single crystals. Analysis of the B1g and B2g channels in the superconducting state of Hg-1201 advocates for a gap having d-wave symmetry. In addition a resonant study B1g pair-breaking peak and the A1g peak suggests that the A1g peak is not directly related...
