We report on a comprehensive study of the magnetic properties of YbCo2Si2 investigated using a single crystal. All data confirm a stable trivalent Yb state carrying a well-localized 4f moment, as well as a non-magnetic Co state. We observed a sizeable anisotropy in the magnetic susceptibility χ(T ), with the moment in the basal plane twice as large as that along the c-direction. Combining this ...

It is widely believed that e-cigarettes are less harmful than conventional cigarettes because they have a lower nicotine content. In contrast to this notion, several in vitro studies evaluated and demonstrated the genotoxicity associated with e-cigarette smoking. However, there lack of human on e-cigarettes. This pilot study compared indicators users, cigarette smokers, nonsmokers. A total 84 h...

approximations A (j) n to A obtained via GREP(1) are defined by the linear systems a(tl) = A (j) n + φ(tl) ∑n−1 i=0 β̄it i l , l = j, j + 1, . . . , j + n, where {tl}l=0 is a decreasing positive sequence with limit zero. The study of GREP(1) for slowly varying functions a(t) was begun in two recent papers by the author. For such a(t) we have φ(t) ∼ αtδ as t → 0+ with δ possibly complex and δ 6= ...

The active sites of multisubunit RNA polymerases have a "trigger loop" (TL) that multitasks in substrate selection, catalysis, and translocation. To dissect the Saccharomyces cerevisiae RNA polymerase II TL at individual-residue resolution, we quantitatively phenotyped nearly all TL single variants en masse. Three mutant classes, revealed by phenotypes linked to transcription defects or various...

Introduction: This is an international survey on the timing of oral feeding after total laryngectomy (TL). Among 332 responses received, 75 were from Brazilian head and neck surgeons. subgroup respondents was analyzed because its proportionally large contribution. Objective: To evaluate initiation in patients following TL by a group Methods: Online – responders Brazil. Results: 40.5% introduc...

Let TL X F TL F be the class of formulas of temporal logic, where as the only temporal operatorsX (next) andF (eventually) are allowed (onlyF is allowed, resp.). For a class TL X F let L be the class of -definable languages. Among others, characterizations of L TL X F and L TL F in terms of forbidden patterns in finite automata are known. Here we ask for every bound k on the number of nested us...

Four human T cell lines, TL-Mor, TL-Su, TL-TerI, and TL-OmI, carrying human T cell leukemia virus (HTLV), were established previously. TL-Mor, TL-Su, and TL-TerI were derived from interleukin 2 (IL-2)-dependent parental cell lines cloned from peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) of three healthy HTLV carriers, while TL-OmI was directly established from PBL of a patient with adult T cell leukemia. ...

This paper aims to develop a new class of distributions, namely, type II exponentiated half-logistic Topp-Leone power series (TIIEHL-TL-GPS) distributions. Some important properties including moments, quantiles, moment generating function, entropy and maximum likelihood estimates are derived. A simulation is conducted study evaluate the consistency estimates. We also present three real data exa...
