A tensile split Hopkinson bar apparatus is developed for testing high strain rate behavior of glass-filled epoxy. The apparatus uses a specimen gripping configuration which does not require fastening and/or gluing and can be readily used for castable materials. Details of the experimental setup, design of grips and specimen, specimen preparation method, benchmark experiments, and tensile respon...

The sensitivity to different relevant parameters of the absorbed fraction of alpha particles emitted from the 222Rn chain in sensitive cells of the tracheo-bronchial tree have been investigated. The structure of the airway wall given by ICRP (ICRP66) has been adopted and employed in the present calculations. The source thickness (mucous gel and sol + cilia), target layer thickness and the depth...

Human peripheral blood leukocytes were stimulated with killed staphylococci in vitro to release leukocytic pyrogen (LP). Supernates from these stimulated leukocytes were concentrated, emulsified in Freund's complete adjuvant, and injected intradermally into rabbits. After seven monthly booster injections, rabbit antiserum destroyed the pyrogenic activity of human LP, and the titer of this neutr...

A new interaction is derived, which is important only when photons penetrate a hot, sparse electron plasma. When photons penetrate a cold and dense electron plasma, they lose energy through ionization and excitation, through Compton scattering on the individual electrons, and through Raman scattering on the plasma frequency. But when the plasma is very hot and has low density, such as in the so...

Considering heart as a unique organ that regulates blood flow, Ayurveda places specific emphasis on protecting the from numerous conditions might lead to development of various illnesses. It emphasizes need avoiding stress and promoting diet helps in boosting health. The role failure with low ejection fraction is discussed this paper. Low fraction, often known EF, occurs when your goes below 55...

Abstract A two-dimensional, full-wave, frequency domain, cold plasma model is used to study electromagnetic power propagation and absorption in a helicon thruster, including its far plume region surrounding space. Results show that fraction of absorbed the region, deposition source essentially unperturbed by simulation domain size, presence metallic obstacles, or density environment. An electro...

UNLABELLED Absorbed-dose calculations provide a scientific basis for evaluating the biologic effects associated with administered radiopharmaceuticals. In cancer therapy, radiation dosimetry supports treatment planning, dose-response analyses, predictions of therapy effectiveness, and completeness of patient medical records. In this study, we evaluated the organ radiation absorbed doses from in...

Group B streptococci (GBS) express various surface antigens designated c, R, and X antigens. A new R-like surface protein from Streptococcus agalactiae strain Compton R has been identified by using a polyclonal antiserum raised against the R protein fraction of this strain to screen a lambda Zap library. DNA sequence analysis of positive clones allowed the prediction of the primary structure of...

In most models and theoretical calculations describing multiphoton ionization by infrared light, the dipole approximation is used. This is equivalent to setting the very small photon momentum to zero. Using numerical solutions of the (nondipole) three-dimensional time-dependent Schrödinger equation for one-electron (H-like) systems, we investigate the effect the photon-momentum transfer to the ...
