Besides the research results achieved it is the registrations of inventions and patents granted that are an important gauge of the competency of our institute. Also in the year 2004 IFW was able to continue its successful activities in this field. As at 31 December 2004 the institute can boast of a total of 135 patents registered within Germany and 109 patents granted abroad. In the year 2004 a...

Cardol, as one of the major constituents Cashew Nut Shell Liquids has received little attentionin terms modification and applications. The presence two hydroxyl groups an alkyl sidechain 15 carbon length make it a natural compound interest. present study is aimed atmodification complexation cardol, antimicrobial investigations compoundas well its analogue complexes. Isolated cardol from cashew ...

considering the nonlinear hyperelastic or viscoelastic nature of soft tissues has an important effect on modeling results. in medicalapplications, accounting nonlinearity begets an ill posed problem, due to absence of external force. myocardium can be consideredas a hyperelastic material, and variational approaches are proposed to estimate stiffness matrix, which take into account the linearand...

1. Oxidation of methyl retinoate with monoperphthalic acid gave methyl 5,6-epoxyretinoate, obtained as pale-yellow crystals, m.p. 890. 2. The structure of the epoxide was confirmed by its ultraviolet, infrared, nuclear-magneticresonance and mass spectra. 3. The biological properties of the epoxide were investigated in male and female rats, and were found to be qualitatively similar to those of ...

The Stern-Gerlach ~SG! effect, one of the cornerstones of a quantum mechanics, still attracts much attention. ~See, for example, Refs. @1–7#.! The SG apparatus clearly demonstrates the quantization of angular momentum and it can also demonstrate the mysterious puzzles of quantum measurement, macroscopic quantum superposition ~Schrödinger-cat! states, and decoherence. The SG effect was used to m...

quantum computing is to identify a system that can be scaled up to the number of qubits needed to execute nontrivial quantum algorithms. Peter Shor’s algorithm for finding the prime factors of numbers used in public-encryption systems (numbers that typically consist of more than a hundred digits) would likely require a quantum computer with several thousand qubits. Depending on the error correc...

Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an auto-immune disease that involves central nervous system (CNS). Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) is an analytical non- invasive method for obtaining the pathologic data of disease and it brings biochemical information about studied tissue which can be helped in studying the reasons and development process of disease and it increa...

Hepatosplenic candidiasis is a fungal infection, which mostly affects patientswith hematologic malignancies such as leukemia. The pathogenesis of thisinfection is not clear yet, and the liver is the most commonly affected organ.Diagnosis of hepatosplenic candidiasis can be only established via biopsy,since computed tomography (CT) scan, ultrasonography, and magneticresonance imaging (MRI) yield...
