The unique properties of quantum hall devices arise from the ideal one-dimensional edge states that form in a two-dimensional electron system at high magnetic field. Tunnelling between edge states across a quantum point contact (QPC) has already revealed rich physics, like fractionally charged excitations, or chiral Luttinger liquid. Thanks to scanning gate microscopy, we show that a single QPC...

primarily opioidergic and adenosine mechanisms are considered to be involved in the antinociceptive effects of antidepressants. this study was designed to determine the efficacy of acute venlafaxine administration in alleviating symptoms of neuropathic pain and the role of endogenous adenosine and opioid systems in this effect of venlafaxine. we have evaluated the effect of caffeine, a non-sele...

 Abstract A 2.5 year old girl is presented with both hands constriction bands leading to distal amputations and the rare deformity of shoulder duplication in the right side accompanying constriction skin marking over the affected shoulder. The cephalomedial scapula articulated with the clavicle and the caudolateral scapula articulated with humeral head. The most important physical finding which...

We report current transmission data through a split-gate constriction fabricated onto a two-dimensional electron system in the integer quantum Hall (QH) regime. Split-gate biasing drives interedge backscattering and is shown to lead to suppressed or enhanced transmission, in marked contrast to the expected linear Fermi-liquid behavior. This evolution is described in terms of particle-hole symme...

We clarified the dynamics of debris flows in areas wherein topography changes abruptly. First, flow through a constriction were investigated by experimentally generating non-uniform conditions. Then, numerical calculations performed using an erosion/deposition rate equation that considers pressure gradient constriction, and compared with experimental data.

Axial distributions of plasma and floating potentials, electron number density and the electron energy distribution function (EEDF) have been measured in the double layer (DL) region of an He discharge constriction. Excitation processes in the constriction region are studied. Using a linearization method for the nonstationary balance equations and choosing appropriate discharge conditions, ...

an injective map f : e(g) → {±1, ±2, · · · , ±q} is said to be an edge pair sum labeling of a graph g(p, q) if the induced vertex function f*: v (g) → z − {0} defined by f*(v) = (sigma e∈ev) f (e) is one-one, where ev denotes the set of edges in g that are incident with a vetex v and f*(v (g)) is either of the form {±k1, ±k2, · · · , ±kp/2} or {±k1, ±k2, · · · , ±k(p−1)/2} u {k(p+1)/2} accordin...

background management of urethral stricture has evolved over the years with better understanding of the pathology, advancement in imaging, and introduction of several techniques of urethral reconstruction. in sub-saharan africa, advancement in management of urethral stricture may not be comparable with what obtained in most developed nations because of problems like late presentation and persis...
