Stellar-mass black holes have been detected by radial-velocity observations in star/black hole binaries. These allow only the determination of the mass function. Tracking the astrometric orbits of the visible components of the star/black hole binaries would allow the full determination of the black hole masses, which would be of great astrophysical interest. We investigate the possibilities to ...

synthetic plants as well as wild crop species are valuable genetic resourses. to determine the genetic variation in triticale, tritipyrum as well as wheat lines, genomic dna of this amphiploid including thinopyrum bessarabicum and durum wheat were amplified using 32 random and 22 semi random primers. primers that could produce clear, polymorphic and repetitive bands are used for determination o...

The proposed approach aims to develop a new method of forming and processing of multiple hypotheses for initial orbit determination using optical observations. This method allows us to generalize the existing 2-dimensional flat constrained admissible region (CAR) to a unique 3-dimensional (3D) manifold of points corresponding to the pairs of observed right ascension and declination. Another adv...

wetlands as water resources have a special place in the semi-arid plateau of iran and boundary determination is necessary for their effective conservation and conflict resolution among stakeholders that are dependent on these resources. determination of the wetland boundaries should be commensurate with environmental features affecting on it which normally extend beyond water extent. ecological...

Reusing existing components can help developers improve the development productivity as well as reduce the cost. Reuse repositories in this scenario act as a fundamental facility for acquiring needed components. While retrieving components in reuse repositories, developers often face the problem of choosing components from candidates that provide similar functionalities. To address the problem,...

Electro-active elemental sulphur dissolved in hydrazine hydrate solvent was studied by d.c. polarography, cyclic voltammetry and millicoulometry in sodium acetate, ammonium tartrate and sodium phosphate buffers in an aqueous medium. The method, which uses a mercury electrode, is highly sensitive with less interference than other polarographic methods. The method was extended to the determinatio...

The procedure developed by Browett and Moss (1964) for the semi-automatic determination of the lead content of urine has been adapted for the determination of lead in blood. Determinations are normally carried out in duplicate on 2.0 ml. samples of whole blood and the minimum sample size is 0.5 ml. The organic substances present in blood are destroyed by a manual wet-oxidation procedure and the...
