Late Precambrian to early Cambrian sediments of the Amadeus Basin, Central Australia, contain two stable directions of magnetization. Lithologies are diverse and include red beds, green beds, and carbonates, all of which respond to thermal cleaning. Positive fold and unconformity tests, and a well-defined polarity zonation reveal the primary component and direction of magnetization. This direct...

Samuel Connor was born on 17 June 1861, the fourth son of John Connor, a Presbyterian, and prosperous tenant-farmer, from Stoneyford, County Antrim. The latter's brother was a medical practitioner in Newry, County Down and it was he who persuaded his nephew and namesake to adopt medicine as a career. The article is divided into an autobiographical account of Connor's minority, written on 3 May ...

HYDATID disease is due to the development in man, acting as an intermediate host, of the cystic larval form of a small tapeworm, Echinococcus granulosus, the normal habitat of which is the ileum of the dog. Ova from an infected dog are deposited with its faeces on the ground. By this means grass and vegetables are polluted with ova, and when eaten by sheep, cattle, goats or occasionally by man ...

The classification of well-log responses into separate flow units for generating local permeability models is often used to predict the spatial distribution of permeability in heterogeneous reservoirs. The present research can be divided into two parts; first, the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) log parameters are employed for developing a relationship between relaxation time and reservoir poro...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the most powerful experimental tools to probe the local atomic order of a wide range of solid-state compounds. However, due to the complexity of the related spectra, in particular for amorphous materials, their interpretation in terms of structural information is often challenging. These difficulties can be overcome by combining molecular ...

The Antrim Shale in the Michigan Basin is one of the most productive shale gas formations in the U.S., but optimal resource recovery strategies must rely on a thorough understanding of the complex biogeochemical, microbial, and physical interdependencies in this and similar systems. We used Illumina MiSeq 16S rDNA sequencing to analyze the diversity and relative abundance of prokaryotic communi...

Sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate found in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables. it is an antioxidantand anti-cancer agent, and reduces blood pressure, and also has anti-allergic Effects.In this article, six theoretical methods have been used for calculation of physical parameters insolforaphane and several similar compounds. We calculated physical parameters like atomic charges.energy (AE) ...

INTRODUCrION THIS paper consists of an epidemiological and demographic study of the population of the island of Rathlin, off the coast of County Antrim and lying between Ulster and Scotland. Its history is briefly traced from earliest times and its population analysed from the record of the Census of Ireland over the past 120 years. HISTORY Rathlin is mentioned by Pliny as "an island between Ir...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has been shown to stimulate repair processes and cartilage and to influence pain signalling. It represents an alternative therapy for patients suffering from osteoarthritis (OA). To prove the clinical success of this new therapeutical method, validated measuring parameters are important that are convincing for pain and function in a one...
