Single-crystal X-ray diffraction and specific heat studies establish that strontium hexavanadium undecaoxide, SrV(6)O(11), undergoes a P6(3)/mmc to inversion twinned P6(3)mc structural transition as the temperature is lowered through 322 K. The P6(3)/mmc and P6(3)mc structures have been determined at 353 K and at room temperature, respectively. For the room-temperature structure, seven of the t...

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay specific to outer membrane protein P6 (P6-ELISA) was applied for detecting Haemophilus influenzae in middle ear fluids (MEFs) from acute otitis media (AOM) patients and in nasopharyngeal secretions (NPSs) from acute rhinosinusitis patients. P6-ELISA had a sensitivity of 83.3% for MEFs and 71.5% for NPSs and a specificity of 85.6% for MEFs and 92.5% for NPSs,...

soil salinity has been a large problem in arid and semi arid regions. preparation of such maps is useful for natural resource managers. old methods of preparing such maps require a lot of time and cost. multi-spectral remotely sensed dates due to the broad vision and repeating of these imageries is suitable for provide saline soil maps. this investigation is conducted to provide saline soil map...

In this paper we propose an algorithm for computing large primes p and q such that q divides p + p + p + p + p + p + 1 or p − p + p − p + p − p + 1. Such primes are the key parameters for the cryptosystem based on the 7th order characteristic sequences.

The genome of the floriculture pathogen Dahlia mosaic caulimovirus (DMV) encodes six open reading frames. Generally, caulimovirus gene VI products (P6s) are thought to be multifunctional proteins required for viral infection and it is likely that self-association is required for some of these functions. In this study, yeast two-hybrid and maltose binding protein (MBP) pull-down assays indicated...

Similar to cells, viruses often compartmentalize specific functions such as genome replication or particle assembly. Viral compartments may contain host organelle membranes or they may be mainly composed of viral proteins. These compartments are often termed: inclusion bodies (IBs), viroplasms or viral factories. The same virus may form more than one type of IB, each with different functions, a...

In [3] Damgard and Thorbek proposed the linear integer secret sharing (LISS) scheme. In this note we show that the LISS scheme can be made proactive.

BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) occurs in up to 63-84% of patients after thyroid surgery. This study aims to assess the effects of using a capsicum plaster to reduce PONV after thyroid surgery at either the Chinese acupuncture point (acupoint) Pericardium 6 (P6) or Korean hand acupuncture point K-D2. METHODS One-hundred eighty-four patients who underwent thyroid surgery we...

Pictures are the most effective means of conveying information. A picture is worth a thousand words. Pictures concisely convey information about positions, sizes and interrelationships between objects. Human beings are good at deriving information from such images, because of our innate visual and mental abilities. About 75% of the information received by human is in pictorial form. The paper d...

ISSN 2277 – 503X | © 2012 Bonfring Abstract--The Remote sensing technology is measured or observed reflected energy to construct an image of the landscape beneath the platform passage in a discrete pixel format. The geometric and radiometric characteristics of remotely sensed image provide information about earth’s surface. In the present study, the primary data product obtained from IRS P6 sat...
