A B S T R A C T The non-stoichiometry of the perovskite (ABO3)-type phase in the system PbO-TiO2-Nd203 has been studied. Monophasic compounds of composition Pbl_~xNdxTiO3+x( 1 5_e) with x ~ 0.21 and 0.09 ~ e ~ 1.5 were prepared. The'zerroelectric Curie temperature (T c) shows a decrease of 18.5 K/at% Nd with increasing value of x. T c shows an increase of 3.5 K/mol % PbO with decreasing value o...

INTRODUCTION Delayed-release dimethyl fumarate (DMF; also known as gastro-resistant DMF) demonstrated clinical and neuroradiologic efficacy and safety in the Phase 3 DEFINE and CONFIRM trials, and in the extension study (ENDORSE), in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). This post hoc analysis assessed DMF efficacy in newly diagnosed patients with RRMS with 6-year minimum...

Haplotype inference has relevant biological applications, and represents a challenging computational problem. Among others, pure parsimony provides a viable modeling approach for haplotype inference and provides a simple optimization criterion. Alternative approaches have been proposed for haplotype inference by pure parsimony (HIPP), including branch and bound, integer programming and, more re...

amitraz is one of the pesticides which is used in a vast area for controlling of the common pistachio psyllid, agonoscena pistaciae (hem.: aphalaridae). in this study the synergistic effect of piperonyl butoxide (pbo) on the toxicity of amitraz on adults of rafsanjan population of common pistachio psyllid was evaluated by residual contact vial (rcv) in laboratory conditions. the results showed ...

To examine the possible modifying effect of the extract of Siraitia grosvenori (SGE), a naturally occurring antioxidative agent, on piperonyl butoxide (PBO)-promoted hepatocarcinogenesis, male F344 rats were administered a single intraperitoneal injection of N-diethylnitrosamine (DEN) as an initiator followed by administration of a diet containing 2% PBO for 7 weeks with or without SGE (1,000 p...

Background: We examined the acute effect of a red spinach extract (RSE) (1000 mg dose; ~90 mg nitrate (NO− 3 )) on performance markers during graded exercise testing (GXT). Methods: For this randomized, double-blind, placebo (PBO)-controlled, crossover study, 15 recreationally-active participants (aged 23.1 ± 3.3 years; BMI: 27.2 ± 3.7 kg/m2) reported >2 h post-prandial and performed GXT 65–75 ...

The utilization of cutting planes is a key technique in Integer Linear Programming (ILP). However, cutting planes have seldom been applied in Pseudo-Boolean Optimization (PBO) algorithms derived from the Davis-Logemann-Loveland (DLL) procedure for Propositional Satisfiability (SAT). This paper proposes the utilization of cutting planes in a DLL-style PBO algorithm, which incorporates the most e...

We fabricated a series of glasses with the composition 94.7GeO2-5Al2O3-0.3Bi2O3PbO =0–24 mol. % . Characteristic absorption bands of bismuth centered at 500, 700, 800, and 1000 nm were observed. Adding PbO was found to decrease the strength of bismuth absorption. The addition of 3%–4% PbO resulted in a 50% increase in lifetime, a 20-fold increase in quantum efficiency, and a 28-fold increase in...

The dielectric properties of pure PVC and filled composites were performed to examine characterize the structure polymer composites. At room temperature values relative permittivity, loss factor, ac conductivities calculated as a function frequency it was found that incorporation both micro nano PbO CuO with various wt% matrix resulted in enhanced properties. electrical response micro- or nanoc...
