Transverse momentum (${p}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$) generation in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is sensitive to the initial geometry and final-state bulk evolution. We demonstrate with hydrodynamic calculations that mean ${p}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$ ratio (${R}_{\ensuremath{\langle}{p}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}\ensuremath{\rangle}}$) between highly similar isobar $_{44}^{96}\mathrm{Ru}+_{44}^{96}\mat...

We combine classical empirical potentials and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to characterize the catalyst/electrode interface of a promising device for artificial photosynthesis. This system consists of inorganic Ru-polyoxometalate (Ru-POM) molecules that are supported by a graphitic substrate functionalized with organic dendrimers. The experimental atomic-scale characterization o...

OBJECTIVE To review acute spinal cord injuries (ASCIs) in all Australian codes of football (rugby union [RU], rugby league [RL], Australian Rules football [ARF] and soccer) for 1997-2002 and to compare data with those of a 1986-1996 survey. DESIGN Retrospective review of hospital records, and structured interviews with injured players. PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING Patients admitted to any of th...

The rapidity dependence of the singleand doubleneutron to proton ratios of nucleon emission from isospin-asymmetric but mass-symmetric reactions Zr+Ru and Ru+Zr at energy range 100 ∼ 800 A MeV and impact parameter range 0 ∼ 8 fm is investigated. The reaction system with isospinasymmetry and mass-symmetry has the advantage of simultaneously showing up the dependence on the symmetry energy and th...

Background Kisspeptin is a potent stimulator of the hypothalamic- pituitary-gonadal axis and may play a critical role in modulating of stress-induced suppression of reproduction. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of glucocorticoid receptor antagonist (RU486) and stress on expression of Kiss-1 mRNA in arcuate nucleus (ARC) of rat hypothalamus. MaterialsAndMethods Twenty ...

We have performed a detailed study of the conductance characteristics obtained by point contact junctions realized between a normal Pt/Ir tip and syntered RuSr 2 GdCu 2 O 8 (Ru-1212) samples. Indeed, this compound is subject of great interest due to the coexistence of both magnetic order and bulk superconductivity. In our experiments, the low temperature tunneling spectra reproducibly show a ze...

Soil erosion is one of the vital factors contributing to the loss of fertility and environmental degradation. Generally accepted diagnostics of eroded soils is based on comparison of the sloping soils profile depth with the watershed soils. In this case, there is a separate problem of slope soils with a naturally shortened profile and eroded soils. Formation of the soil’s natura...

In this research, a glassy carbon electrode was coated with a thin layer of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in the presence of the surfactant and subsequently was electro-polymerized with Poly-L-arginine (P-L-Arg). The prepared electrode was used as an effective sensor for the quantitative detection of Rutin (Ru). The fabricated electrode exhibited good electrochemical performance with low electr...

Small variations for Mo isotopes have been observed recently in the Allende meteorite and in iron meteorites, mesosiderites, and pallasites, using ICP-MS [1]. Large effects for Mo have been reported for leaches of Orgueil [2] and in SiC and graphite from Murchison [3-5]. Variations for Mo in bulk Allende and in Murchison have also been presented by NTIMS [6]. Effects in Ru isotopes can define f...
