We present spectra of the DAB white dwarf PG1115+166. Radial velocity measurements of the Balmer lines and the HeI 6678Å line show that this is a binary white dwarf with a period of 30.09d in which the Balmer lines move in anti-phase to the HeI line, i.e., PG1115+166 is a DA+DB binary. The minimum masses of the stars are MDA = 0.43±0.15M⊙ and MDB = 0.52±0.12M⊙. The separation of the stars is ab...

This article summarizes the status of State health reform and includes a table of major initiatives undertaken by each State. The Health Care Financing Administration's (HCFA's) role in reviewing State waiver proposals is analyzed, and the author examines why States are likely to continue to seek section 1115 waivers, absent Federal health care reform. The often conflicting roles and responsibi...

Membrane reactors are currently under extensive research and development. Hardly any concept however is realized yet in practice. Frequently, forgotten as membrane reactors are electro-catalyic membrane reactors where electrodes perform chemical conversations and membranes separate the locations of conversion. In this chapter we extensively describe a technology where the membrane itself is cat...

The standard enthalpy of formation of 1115 compounds from all chemical groups, were predicted using genetic algorithm-based multivariate linear regression (GAMLR). The obtained multivariate linear five descriptors model by GA-MLR has correlation coefficient ( 9830 . 0 2 = R ). All molecular descriptors which have entered in this model are calculated from chemical structure of any molecule. As a...

Introduction/Background Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the most common types and fourth leading cause cancer-related deaths in women. carcinogenesis multistep process cervical dysplasia development progression. Correct diagnostic effective therapy presents an important approach to reduce CC morbidity mortality. MicroRNAs epithelium cells are considered as promising markers dysplasia. M...

Tumor immunotherapy has had demonstrable efficacy in patients with cancer. The most promising results have been with T-cell–based therapies. These include adoptive cell transfer of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, genetically engineered T cells, and immune checkpoint inhibitor antibodies. In this review, we describe the different T-cell–based strategies currently in clinical trials and put their...
