We prepared Dy1 xSrxCoO3 (x 1⁄4 0; 0:025) ceramics and evaluated their thermoelectric performances at temperatures up to 873K. The sample in which x 1⁄4 0:025 showed a higher electrical conductivity and a lower Seebeck coefficient than that in which x 1⁄4 0. Due to phonon scattering, the thermal conductivity of the x 1⁄4 0:025 sample was lower than that of the x 1⁄4 0 sample over the entire ran...

Aims. We provide new insights into the nature of HESS J1857+026, a very-high-energy γ -ray source whose complex morphology in TeV band was attributed to superposition two distinct sources. Methods. performed radio continuum observations look for pulsar wind nebula and supernova remnant associated with PSR J1856+0245, which might be powering part emission. observed J1857+026 Karl G. Jansky Very ...

Wastes generated from the production of cattle and swine in confined facilities create the potential for surface and groundwater pollution, emission of greenhouse gases, transmission of pathogens to food and water sources, and odor. It is our hypothesis that something which inhibits microbial fermentation in livestock wastes will be beneficial to solving some of the environmental problems. Our ...

Modulating natural killer cell functions in human immunity and reproduction are diverse interactions between the killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) of Natural Killer (NK) cells and HLA class I ligands on the surface of tissue cells. Dominant interactions are between KIR2DL1 and the C2 epitope of HLA-C and between KIR2DL2/3 and the C1 epitope of HLA-C. KhoeSan hunter-gatherers of So...

Introduction Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD) is a rare form of primary immunodeficiencies characterized by predisposition for poorly virulent infection agents, primarily non-tuberculous mycobacteria and Salmonella. It has been shown that molecular basis of these diseases is mutations in at least 7 genes in the IL12-dependent IFN-g axis including IFNGR1, IFNGR2, IL-12/IL...

This article is a presentation of a clinical methodology aimed at minimizing binding in fixed orthodontic appliances. The dynforce archwire is explained. The dynforce archwire has a full size anterior segment (e.g. .021×.025) and undersized posterior segments with rectangular cross-section (e.g. .018×.025 or .018×.022), and is used in the orthodontic phase of space closure with or without TAD m...
