Biological macromolecules expand with increasing temperature and this dynamic expansion is associated with the onset of function. The expansion is typically characterized by the mean square vibrational displacement (MSD), of specific constituents such as hydrogen within the macromolecules. The increases with increasing temperature and the slope of versus temperature can increase ...

To assess whether there is a differential hypocholesterolemic response to weight loss for subjects carrying polymorphisms of the apolipoprotein B and other genes. A before and after comparison of lipid parameters following a calorie controlled diet for an intervention period of 12 weeks. A lipid clinic based in a large teaching hospital. The difference in slope coefficients relating the percent...

GPS multipath has long been considered a major error source in GPS applications. In this paper, however, an attempt is made to use multipath as a signal. The proposed application of using GPS multipath to monitor the slope stability involves two steps. The first step is to extract multipath and to detect its change based on an adaptive filter using the leastmean-square algorithm. In the second ...

We have measured the vibrational excitation probability (Pv) of HCl incident on a Au(111) surface at kinetic energies (Ei) of 0.59 eV to 1.37 eV and surface temperatures (Ts) of 273 K to 1073 K. For all energies, the slope of the Pv as a function of Ts exhibits a sharp increase above Ts approximately 800 K. We show this change in slope and the threshold behavior of Pv to be consistent with a ch...

The title reactions in water are subjected to a kinetic investigation. Under excess amine, pseudofirst-order rate coefficients (kobsd) are obtained. Plots of kobsd against aniline concentration are linear, with kN as the slope. The Brønsted-type plot (log kN vs anilinium pKa) is linear with slope 0.7, consistent with a concerted mechanism. By comparison of these reactions with others, it is con...

Two dimensional slope profile morphometric investigation in a part of the land failure prone Garhwal region of the Lesser Himalaya, Tehri district, U. P., India, indicates that the landslip morphology is closely related to the dominant movement processes active in this terrain. Technique developed for the morphometric analysis of landslips involves the use of five morphometric indices. Each ind...

Solar still is best choice of utilizing freely available solar thermal energy to purify/desalinate muddy water. The driving force for this work the inadequate availability clean fresh water sources and plenty contaminated probable conversion into potable Among various designs available, double basin passive looks attractive applications in prone remote areas. This presents experimental characte...

BACKGROUND Assessment of treatment response by measuring tumor size is known to be a late and potentially confounded response index. Serial diffusion MRI has shown potential for allowing earlier and possibly more reliable response assessment in adult patients, with limited experience in clinical settings and in pediatric brain cancer. We present a retrospective study of clinical MRI data in chi...
