We investigate the KNO scaling function of the modified negative binomial distribution (MNBD), because this MNBD can explain the oscillating behaviors of the cumulant moment observed in e+e− annihilations and in hadronic collisions. By using a straightforward method and the Poisson transform we derive the KNO scaling function from the MNBD. The KNO form of experimental data in e+e− collisions a...

ownloade kground: The knowledge about and use of chemopreventive agents for prostate cancer by physicians t been described. The Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) showed that finasteride was effective in ng the incidence of prostate cancer. We examined the influence of the PCPT on finasteride prescribing the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). thods: We assessed trends on monthly new and...

We analyze various data of multiplicity distributions by means of the Modi ed Negative Binomial Distribution (MNBD) and its KNO scaling function, since this MNBD explains the oscillating behavior of the cumulant moment observed in ee annihilations, h-h collisions and e-p collisions. In the present analyses, we nd that the MNBD (discrete distributions) describes the data of charged particles in ...

A sand culture experiment was conducted to answer the question whether or not exogenous KNO(3) can alleviate adverse effects of salt stress in winter wheat by monitoring plant growth, K(+)/Na(+) accumulation and the activity of some antioxidant enzymes. Seeds of two wheat cultivars (CVs), DK961 (salt-tolerant) and JN17 (salt-sensitive), were planted in sandboxes and controls germinated and rais...

It is shown that there is a second properly normalized KNO scaling function, nPn(n/n̄) = φ(z), which has certain advantages in the analysis of KNO scaling. First, the nPn are not influenced by the statistical and systematic uncertainties of n̄ hence φ(z) provides more selective power than the original KNO scaling function n̄Pn(n/n̄) = ψ(z). Second, the new scaling function generates scale parameter...

The multitopic ion-pair receptor 2 is able to recognize and extract various cesium and potassium salts via three different ion recognition modes. Furthermore, it is capable of extracting and then releasing KNO(3)via ion-pair metathesis with CsClO(4), allowing KNO(3) recovery.
