Great evolution and improvement in biological molecules purification have been achieved in the last 20 years, giving advantages in both product quality and yield, and speed of purification methods. Purity levels, once poorly suitable for large scale production, as well as requiring long and very expensive procedures, are today achievable using simple procedures. For example, till few decades ag...

Based on a 3×3 mass matrix describing the mixing of the scalar states f0(1370), f0(1500) and f0(1710), the hadronic decays of the three states are investigated. Taking into account the two possible assumptions concerning the mass level order of the bare states |N〉 = |uū + dd̄〉/ √ 2, |S〉 = |ss̄〉 and |G〉 = |gg〉 in the scalar sector, MG > MS > MN and MG > MN > MS , the glueball-quarkonia content of ...

The phytoplankton in warm oligotrophic regions of the open oceans is dominated by ,2-mm cells too small for efficient direct consumption by mesozooplankton. However, these primary producers are hypothetically linked to higher trophic levels via the cascading impacts of mesozooplankton grazing on intermediate consumers. To assess the magnitudes of these indirect trophic linkages, grazing experim...

The assignments of the isoscalar scalar mesons f0(980), f0(1370), and f0(1500) in terms of their q̄q substructure is still a matter of heated dispute. Here we employ the weak and electromagnetic decays D+ s → f0π and f0 → γγ, respectively, to identify the f0(980) and f0(1500) as mostly s̄s, and the f0(1370) as dominantly n̄n, in agreement with previous work. The two-photon decays can be satisfacto...

Today, Business Intelligence (BI) play an essential role particular in business areas. The important role can be seen as the BI applications have appeared the top spending priority for many Chief Information Officers (CIO) and it remain the most important technologies to be purchased for past five years(Gartner Research 2007; 2008; 2009). In fact, various market researchers including Gartner Re...

Today, the Internet, web, computer and its applications are the most amazingly and dynamically growing technologies. To improve the quality of web-based software it is important that some measurement methodologies i.e. metrics must be defined those are unavailable till that time. The existing metrics for the different types of systems has been analyzed to take direction for defining web-based m...

Mukherjee dedicates his book to “Robert Sandler” and to all those who fought and continue to fight against cancer. In 1947, two year old Robert was the first leukemic patient to be tested with Farber’s antifolates. Robert even responded to aminopterin, though his cancer relapsed. The journey till the antifolates was not an easy one and it took decades after decades to traverse the path from the...

The present study proposes equations for age determination both in living and dead children, obtained with the help of stepwise ascending multiple linear regression. The equations should be applied, based on the number of erupted teeth and tooth germs, which were detected on radiographs, during clinical examination and in infant skeletal remains. The proposed equations proved to be efficient ju...
