We update the method of the Holmberg & Flynn (2000) study, including an updated model of the Milky Way’s interstellar gas, radial velocities, an updated reddening map, and a careful statistical analysis, to bound the allowed surface density and scale height of a dark disk. We pay careful attention to the self-consistency of the model, including the gravitational influence of the dark disk on ot...

Tracer diffusivities (limiting mutual diffusion coefficients) of nonassociated aromatic compounds in n-hexane and cyclohexane have been measured at 298.2 K by Taylor's dispersion method. These new data, together with other diffusivities of nonassociated pseudoplanar solutes reported in the literature, are used to determine the separate effects of solute and solvent on tracer diffusion. The data...

There are two fundamentally different strategies for solving the standard transport or continuity equation, corresponding to whether it is expressed as a partial differential equation or as an integral statement of conservation. The more common approach is to discretize the partial differential equation and to march the solution forward in time. The alternative method is to project cell volumes...

18F-labeled (-)fluoroethoxybenzovesamicol [(-)FEOBV] is a novel PET tracer which binds to the vesicular acetylcholine transporter of cholinergic neurons. To evaluate the in vivo binding specificity and kinetic properties of (-)FEOBV, studies were performed in isolated working rat hearts. External gamma,gamma-coincidence monitoring of hearts indicated high extraction of radiotracer by the myocar...

skeletal involvement is the second most common site of metastases after lymph nodal metastases in patients with prostate cancer. the skeletal metastases from prostate cancer are osteoblastic in nature and show increased tracer avidity on the bone scan. focal tracer avid lesion in skeleton especially in skull requires the careful examination by further investigation. the patients with skull meta...

We consider one-dimensional systems comprising either active run-and-tumble particles (RTPs) or passive Brownian random walkers. These are noninteracting have hardcore exclusions. study the dynamics of a single tracer particle embedded in such system - this may be passive, with exclusion from environmental particles. In an environment, both and tracers show long-time subdiffusion: displacements...

The most important factor affecting efficacy and drift of pesticide applications is the droplet spectrum. To measure pesticide drift, researchers utilize fluorescent tracers to rapidly quantify spray deposition. Although fluorescent tracers have been used for more than 50 years, no experiments have been performed on the effect they have on the properties of pesticide formulations (density and v...

the production and application of pet tracers has been a unique step in the progress of nuclear medicine in last two decades. the most important pet tracers include f-18, c-11 and n-13 radioisotopes and many nuclear medicine centers throughout the globe are using them. however some new tracers are under their way to the mass administration, currently being in the clinical trials or preliminary ...

  Although each subdivision of primary somatosensory cortex (SI) receives dense input from the thalamus, but the exact location and type of information that the fibers convey have not been identified yet. In the present study, the exact source of thalamocortical fibers to areas 2 and 3b was investigated using tract-tracing techniques. Following injection of tracer into area 3b, labeled neurons ...
