A field theoretic representation of the classical partition function is derived for a system composed mixture anisotropic and isotropic mobile charges that interact via long range Coulomb short nematic interactions. The theory then solved on saddle-point approximation level, leading to coupled Poisson–Boltzmann Maier–Saupe equations. Explicit solutions are finally obtained rod-like counterion-o...

Rod-like fillers in a flow field of viscous fluid may form complex structures after passing sudden contraction. The rods start with dilute distribution random positions and orientations. Behind the contraction, large amount tumble spatially correlated way, such that orientations perpendicular to occur at regular distances along channel. tumbling results from an interplay several effects, inferr...

CdS crystallites with rod- and flower-like architectures were synthesized using a facile hydrothermal growth method. The hexagonal crystal structure of CdS dominated the growth mechanisms of the rod- and flower-like crystallites under specific growth conditions, as indicated by structural analyses. The flower-like CdS crystallites had a higher crystal defect density and lower optical band gap v...

The presented image showings heavily granulated myeloma cells, some with Auer rod-like inclusions. Auer rod-like inclusions in myeloma are composed of crystallized lysosomal enzyme depositions. They are distinguished from intracytoplasmic immunoglobulin crystals. The factors that predispose to Auer rod-like inclusions in myeloma are unknown; however, in all reported cases paraprotein was of the...

PURPOSE This study describes the expression and distribution of phototransduction cascade gene products in the cone-dominant retina of the ground squirrel Spermophilus tridecemlineatus. METHODS Messenger RNA expression was studied by blot hybridization, and the distribution of the gene products was investigated by immunocytochemistry. RESULTS RNA blot hybridization showed messages for the a...
