We have examined the responses of energy and protein metabolism to nutrient intake in nine patients with lung carcinoma, of whom none »ere cachexie and only one had distant métastases,compared with nine control patients for elective aneurism surgery, who were comparable in terms of age, body mass index, and smoking habits. Whole-body protein turnover and leucine oxidation were assessed by pri...

We developed a self-consistent screened-Korringa± Kohn± Rostoker (KKR) method in an ab initio tight-binding formulation. The reduction in numerical e€ ort in comparison with that required for the standard KKR method is achieved by the choice of a suitable reference system. Following the idea of Zeller et al. (1995, Phys. Rev. B, 52, 8807), reference systems with repulsive mu n-tin potentials o...

The years 1895 to 1898 were momentous for their impact on health and human well beings. First, Wilhelm Roentgen noted a glowing fluorescent screen, caused by invisible rays. This event subsequently led to the discovery of X-rays in 1895, and thus the birth of the “atomic age”. Next Becquerel’s investigations of these mysterious rays led to his experiments with uranium salt crystals. He th...

We derive an efficient CH-type inequality. Quantum mechanics violates our proposed inequality independent of the detection-efficiency problem. In photonic Bell-type experiments [1], when photon pairs with parallel linear polarizations are emitted, one can consider a Clauser-Horne (CH) inequality [2], at the level of hidden variables, in the form − 1 ≤ Srq,HV (â, b̂, â, b̂, λ) ≤ 0 (1) where Srq,HV...
