We tested the hypothesis that slowing of shortening velocity generated by type IIB fibers from hindlimb-unweighted (HU) rats resulted from a reduced ATPase activity and/or a reduction in the relative content of myosin light chain 3f isoform content (MLC(3f)). After 2, 3, and 4 wk of HU, maximal unloaded shortening velocity (V(o)) of single permeabilized semimembranosus muscle fibers was determi...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the dosimetric benefits and treatment efficiency of carotid-sparing TomoHelical 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (TH-3DCRT) for early glottic cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten early-stage (T1N0M0) glottic squamous cell carcinoma patients were simulated, based on computed tomography scans. Two-field 3DCRT (2F-3DCRT), 3-field intensity-mo...

We report a new approach in optical coherence tomography (OCT) termed full-field Fourier-domain OCT (3F-OCT). A three-dimensional image of a sample is obtained by digital reconstruction of a three-dimensional data cube, acquired using a Fourier holography recording system illuminated with a swept-source. This paper presents theoretical and experimental study of the signal-to-noise ratio of the ...

The synthesis of compound (2) was achieved using cyclization method of compound (1) with ethyl chloro acetate and fused sodium acetate. Compound (2) was underwent mannich reaction to give compound (3a-3f). The Chemical structures were elucidated by IR, 1 HNMR, and elemental analysis. The compounds (2) and (3a-3f) have been screened for in vitro antimicrobial action against various strains of ba...

MIL-HDBK-17-3F, dated 17 June 2002, is hereby cancelled. Future acquisitions may refer to SAE R-424, “Composite Materials Handbook (CMH-17) Volume 3, Polymer Matrix Composites: Materials Usage, Design, and Analysis”, published July 2012, SAE International as a suitable replacement for MIL-HDBK-17-3F; however, users are cautioned to evaluate this document for their particular application before ...

In this paper we present an interesting gadget based on the chain pair simplification problem under the discrete Fréchet distance (CPS-3F), which allows the construction of arbitrarily long paths that must be chosen in the simplification of the two curves. A pseudopolynomial time reduction from set partition is given as an example. For clarification, CPS-3F was recently shown to be in P, and th...

Let Fq be the multiplicative group of a finite field, Fq, of cardinality q, with q odd; and let P(Fq) denote its power set. We define the arithmetical function D : P � Fq � → Z via D(S) = #I � x + x−1, S � −#I � x− x−1, S � , where for S ⊆ Fq , I � x± x−1, S � = � x± x−1 : x ∈ S � . Furthermore, let tq = � k − 1, if q = 4k + 1 k, if q = 4k + 3, and let F (k, l) be the coefficient of xl in (x−1 ...

I review some theoretical aspects of neutrino oscillations in the case when more than two neutrino flavours are involved. These include: approximate analytic solutions for 3-flavour (3f) oscillations in matter; matter effects in νµ ↔ ντ oscillations; 3f effects in oscillations of solar, atmospheric, reactor and supernova neutrinos and in accelerator long-baseline experiments; CP and T violation...
