The dielectric constant of a polar liquid in a strong electric field changes, in the lowest order, proportionally to the squared field magnitude. The proportionality coefficient (dielectric slope) is traditionally analyzed by mean-field models in terms of the saturation of alignment of individual dipoles as prescribed by the Langevin function. Only a decrease of the dielectric constant induced ...

Statistical analysis of the relative alignment of inner and outer orbits in triple systems resulting from a dynamical decay of small-N clusters (N ≤ 10) is presented and compared to the statistics of real multiple stars. The distribution of the relative angle Φ between the angular momentum vectors of inner and outer orbits in triple stars formed by decay is shown to depend on the initial cluste...

The research in this paper reveals how organising the innovation ecosystem can enable the achievement of the aim for innovation and competitiveness. The research was conducted from June 2014 to May 2015 using a qualitative deductive approach among operation & maintenance (O&M) actors in offshore wind parks. The research contains a focus group interview with 11 companies, 20 individual interview...

The formation of the mitotic spindle is a complex process that requires massive cellular reorganization. Regulation by mitotic kinases controls this entire process. One of these mitotic controllers is Aurora A kinase, which is itself highly regulated. In this study, we show that the nuclear pore protein ALADIN is a novel spatial regulator of Aurora A. Without ALADIN, Aurora A spreads from centr...

Late recurrence of idiopathic clubfoot deformity in adults after prior successful surgery in childhood remains a rarity and only case reports exist. No study has yet clarified the results of triple arthrodesis in such cases. Complete clinical and radiological review of 7 patients (7 feet) after a follow-up time of 43 months following triple arthrodesis was undertaken. The time interval between ...

The results presented in this paper clearly suggest that a coherent framework may exist which connects the topics of heavy-ion molecular resonances, hyperdeformation effects, and fission shape isomerism. New data on particleparticle-γ triple coincidences of the Si+Si reaction at a beam energy corresponding to the population of a conjectured J = 38 resonance in Ni are presented. The absence of a...

We report the observation of a thermally activated resonant tunnelling feature in the current– voltage characteristics (I(V)) of triple barrier resonant tunnelling structures (TBRTS) due to the alignment of the n = 1 confined states of the two quantum wells within the active region. With great renewed interest in tunnelling structures for high frequency (THz) operation, the understanding of dev...

Background: Previous studies have suggested that BRCA1 dysregulation has been shown to have a role in triple-negative phenotypic manifestation. However, differences of BRCA1 expression, as a tumor suppressor gene, have rarely been investigated between luminal and triple-negative breast tumors. Therefore, the present study attempted to compare the BRCA1 expression in triple-negative with lu...
