Most autoantibodies in patients with warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) have specificity within the Rh system. Using rare cells such as -Dand cells, Weiner and Vos (1963) described specificity against normal cells (nI), partially deleted cells (pdl), and deleted cells (dl). Recently, autoantibodies which failed to react with Rh,, ,, cells that were of anti-U specificity have been ...

Juvenile hormone titers and reproductive characteristics were measured in adult wing and flight-muscle morphs of the wing-polymorphic cricket, Gryllus firmus, during the first week of adulthood. This species has three morphs: one flight capable morph with fully-developed wings and fully-developed flight muscles [LW(F)], one flightless morph with fully-developed wings and histolyzed (non-functio...

Both a-plane and c-plane AlN/Al0.65Ga0.35N quantum wells QWs have been grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition and their photoluminescence PL emission properties were studied and compared. It was found that the low temperature PL characteristics of a-plane QWs are primarily governed by the quantum size effect, whereas those of c-plane QWs are significantly affected by the polarization ...

The link-wise artificial compressibility method (LW-ACM) is a recent formulation of the artificial compressibility method for solving the incompressible Navier– Stokes equations. Two implementations of the LW-ACM in three dimensions on CUDA enabled GPUs are described. The first one is a modified version of a stateof-the-art CUDA implementation of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), showing that...

The aerosol radiative effect in the long-wave (LW) spectral range is sometimes not taken into account in atmospheric aerosol forcing studies at local scale because the LW aerosol effect is assumed to be negligible. At regional and global scale this effect is partially taken into account: aerosol absorption is taken into account but scattering is still neglected. However, aerosols with strong ab...

One of the chemical breakdown products of nonylphenol ethoxylates, 4-nonylphenol (4-NP), accumulates in organisms and is of concern as an environmental pollutant due to its endocrine disrupting effects. We measured 4-NP levels in the seawater, sediment, and twelve organisms within the California estuary, Morro Bay, and examined biomagnification of 4-NP using stable isotope abundances (δ(15)N an...

Objectives of this study were: (a) to compare live weight (LW) and zoometric measures (ZM) of local goats in two locations, (b) to fit the best regression equation for goat LW prediction using ZM. LW, body length (BL), trunk length (TL), withers height (WH), hearth girth (HG), rump width (RW), rump length (RL), head length (HL), head width (HW), and ear length (EL) were measured in 318 Local do...

Photoluminescence (PL) spectra were measured as a function of well width (LW) and temperature in ZnO/Mg0.1Zn0.9O single quantum wells (QWs) with graded thickness. The emission linewidth (full width at half maximum) was extracted from the emission spectra, and its variation as a function of LW was studied. The inhomogeneous linewidth obtained at 5 K was found to decrease with increasing LW from ...

Article history: Received 21 January 2013 Received in revised form 18 August 2013 Accepted 20 August 2013 The effect of aerosols on long wave (LW) radiation was studied based on narrowband LW calculations in a reference mid-latitude summer atmosphere with and without aerosols. Aerosols were added to the narrowband LW scheme based on their typical schematic observed spectral and vertical behavio...
