Structural parameters of raw and pre-treated viscose, modal and lyocell fibres were determined using X-ray diffraction, and compared with data obtained from iodine adsorption and tenacity measurements. A good correlation was found between iodine adsorption and structural changes. These structural parameters are correlated with surface thermodynamic parameters obtained by surface tension experim...

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a clinical syndrome characterized by an onset in early life. More than 65% of patients persist with manifestations of ADHD in adulthood. These symptoms may interfere in activities of daily-living, interpersonal relationships and professional and academic achievement. Nevertheless, the observation of an important group of adults with ADHD who do...

the tenacity of a graph g, t(g), is de ned by t(g) = min{[|s|+τ(g-s)]/[ω(g-s)]}, where the minimum is taken over all vertex cutsets s of g. we de ne τ(g - s) to be the number of the vertices in the largest component of the graph g - s, and ω(g - s) be the number of components of g - s.in this paper a lower bound for the tenacity t(g) of a graph with genus γ(g) is obtained using the graph's...

one of the locations of renal artery atherosclerosis is at the orifice of the renal artery, therefore thestructure of this orifice was assessed in 6 normal, adult male dogs by light microscopy (lm) andtransmission electron microscopy (tem). for the lm study, processed tissues were embedded in paraffinand sectioned serially into 6-μm thickness. sections were stained with orcein. for the tem stud...
