FOR most of its 100 years of existence, anti-dumping (AD) was not nearly the problem that it is today. In fact, for most of its existence it is fair to say that AD could hardly have been called a problem for the international trading community. Over its first 70 years, AD was neither widely adopted nor were AD duties widely imposed by the handful of countries who were AD users. Over the last 30...

Males of many animals perform 'copulatory courtship' during copulation, but the possible reproductive significance of this behaviour has seldom been investigated. In some animals, including the spider Physocyclus globosus (Pholcidae), the female discards sperm during or immediately following some copulations. In this study, we determined which of several variables associated with copulation cor...

in the present work, impact of lewis acid (la) catalysts bf3, bcl3, and bbr3 on the kinetics andregioselectivity of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (1,3-dc) reaction between azidobenzene and acroleinwas theoretically studied using b3lyp/6-31g* level. our results indicate while the uncatalyzed 1,3-dc reaction under investigation takes place via a non-polar, non-regioselective, and lowasynchronous proc...

Introduction The dumping syndrome is frequent in bariatric surgery. It is probably the most common syndrome following partial or complete gastrectomy. Its prevalence in partial gastrectomy can reach up to 50%, thus it can be a significant complication arising from some types of bariatric surgeries. Objective: Critical analysis on dumping syndrome, its pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment...

Water cooling by ambient takes place with two mechanisms of heat and mass transfer. Using packings at wet cooling towers has disadvantages such as obstruction, reduction of life expectancy and production of algae and fungi. In shower cooling towers types of towers packings are completely removed and water intake is in direct contact and heat transfer takes place in two ways of latent and sensib...
