Taking possible CP violations into account, we discuss constraints on lepton mixing angles obtained from neutrinoless double beta decay and from neutrino oscillation for three flavour Majorana neutrinos. From the CHORUS oscillation experiment, combined with the data from neutrinoless double beta decay, we show that the large angle solution for θ23 is improbable if the neutrino mass m3 of the th...

Molecular dynamics simulations of a melt of freely rotating chains of 1,4-polybutadiene (FRC-PBD) have been performed over a wide range of temperature. Removal of the dihedral barriers in FRC-PBD allows for complete resolution of the Johari-Goldstein beta process from the primary alpha process in the simulation time window. We find that relaxation in the beta regime occurs as the result of larg...

The radiation generated by the current in an active region (ACT-R), specified propagation phase constant $\beta $ , is investigated with special interest its progression (PhasProg). ACT-R modeled circular and square loops, classified into two types: a right-handed positive left-handed negative . Firstly, of length $n$ guided wavelengths formulated. It found that, at any depression angle $\theta...

The relation between dietary antioxidant intake and primary open-angle glaucoma risk was examined in participants aged over 40 years in the Nurses' Health Study (n = 76,200) and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (n = 40,284). They were followed biennially from 1980 and 1986, respectively, to 1996, during periods when they received an eye examination. Dietary intakes were measured repeate...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate both the intraocular pressure (IOP)-decreasing and neuroprotective effects of Rescula (0.12% unoprostone isopropyl) as an alternative therapy to betablockers with a long-term drift effect in patients with glaucoma. Twenty-eight patients with unilateral or bilateral glaucoma were treated with Rescula instead of the original beta-blocker therapy. IOP was ...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) gene is a glaucoma susceptibility locus. DESIGN AND METHODS The design was an association study stratified by ancestry (white vs black African) and disease (primary open-angle glaucoma vs control subjects). The ADRB2 single nucleotide polymorphisms were determined by sequencing, and the haplotypes of the common single nucl...
