The diffraction slope parameter is investigated for elastic proton-proton and protonantiproton scattering based on the all available experimental data at intermediate square of momentum transfer in the main. Energy dependence of the elastic diffraction slope is approximated by various analytic functions in a model-independent fashion. The expanded standard logarithmic approximations allow to de...

A realistic description of how temperatures vary with elevation is crucial for ecosystem studies and for models of basin-scale snowmelt and spring streamflow. This paper explores surface temperature variability using temperature data from an array of 37 sensors, called the Yosemite Network, which traverses both slopes of the Sierra Nevada in the vicinity of Yosemite National Park, California. T...

The benztropine analog N-(n-butyl)-3α-[bis(4'-fluorophenyl)methoxy]-tropane (JHW 007) displays high affinity for the dopamine transporter (DAT), but unlike typical DAT ligands, has relatively low abuse liability and blocks the effects of cocaine, including its self-administration. To determine sites responsible for the cocaine antagonist effects of JHW 007, its in vitro binding was compared wit...

PURPOSE To compare the preclinical and clinical pharmacokinetic properties of paclitaxel formulated as a Cremophor-free, albumin-bound nanoparticle (ABI-007) and formulated in Cremophor-ethanol (Taxol). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN ABI-007 and Taxol were given i.v. to Harlan Sprague-Dawley male rats to determine pharmacokinetic and drug disposition. Paclitaxel pharmacokinetic properties also were asse...

THE SUGGESTION IN 1948 that mercury poisoning was the principal cause of pink disease (acrodynia) in children (Warkany and Hubbard, 1948; Fanconi and Botezn, 1948) resulted in the withdrawal from sale of all mercury containing teething powders in the United Kingdom. There followed a dramatic decline in the reported frequency of the disease (Dathan and Harvey, 1965) and during the past twenty ye...

Some thoughts on the calculation of quantitative probabilities of edge detection, for investigation during the 3D object recognition and localisation project. See also Tina memo 2006-007.
