We explore the possibility that the short-lived radionuclides A 26 l, F 60 e, P 107 d, and H 182 f inferred to be present in the proto-solar cloud originated from 3–8M☉ asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. Models of AGB stars with initial mass above M 5 ☉ are prolific producers of A 26 l owing to hot bottom burning (HBB). In contrast, F 60 e, P 107 d, and H 182 f are produced by neutron capture...

Evidence is presented for multiphonon excitations based on a high-spin (25 Planck) intrinsic state in the deformed nucleus 182 Os. Angular momentum generation by this mode competes with collective rotation. The experimental data are compared with tilted-axis cranking calculations, supporting the vibrational interpretation. However, the lower experimental energies provide evidence that more comp...

De novo protein synthesis supports long-lasting functional and structural plasticity and is a molecular requirement for new memory formation. Recent evidence has suggested that microRNAs may be involved in regulating the molecular mechanisms underlying neural plasticity. MicroRNAs are endogenous, noncoding RNAs capable of post-transcriptional repression of their mRNA targets. To explore the pot...

One hundred and eighty-two consecutive Caesarean sections under epidural analgesia have been reviewed; 120 of the patients had epidural analgesia induced during labour and 62 had epidural analgesia induced for the operation only. Analgesia was satisfaaory in 170 patients and operating conditions were satisfactory in 173. The most frequent complication was vomiting which was associated with the ...

182 Summary Radiation therapy (RTx) has been used for cancer treatment for over 100 years. Nowadays,
