The so-called linear reversal mode is demonstrated in spin model simulations of the high anisotropy material Llo FePt. Reversal of the magnetization is found to readily occur in the linear regime despite an energy barrier (KV / kB T) that would conventionally ensure stability on this timescale. The timescale for the reversal is also established with a comparison to the Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equ...

Results are presented oj @ight tests made to determine the <feet oj jlap de$ection on the lateral control characteristics of a modi$ed Brewster F2A-2 airplane equipped with partial-spa-n narrow-chord ailerons on the trailing edge oj a full-span NACA slotted -flap. The inrestiga~ion included determination of the rolling and yawing characteristics oj the airplane in abrupt aileron rolls with the ...

Nerve growth factor (NGF) has an important role in regulating sympathetic neuron survival and target field innervation during development. Here we show that glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor–related protein (GITR), a member of the TNF superfamily, and its ligand (GITRL) are co-expressed in mouse sympathetic neurons when their axons are innervating their targets under the inf...

Since a safe and effective mass vaccination program against dengue fever is not presently available, a good way to prevent and control dengue outbreaks depends mainly on controlling the mosquito vectors. Aedes aegypti mosquito populations can be monitored and reduced by using ovitraps baited with organic infusions. A series of laboratory experiments were conducted which demonstrated that the ba...

It is known that inhaled steroids can be used for the treatment of interstitial lung diseases such as sarcoidosis to avoid systemic side effects of oral or intravenous forms. However there is no information about the role of inhaled steroids in the treatment of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). Here in, a 38 year-old male patient with chronic HP treated by 16 months of high dose inhaled steroi...

The thymus is the site of considerable cell proliferation and turnover (1-3). Virtually all lymphoid cells in the organ can be labeled after 3-4 d of exposure to tritiated thymidine. It is striking, therefore, that the small cells forming the dominant population are themselves inactive in DNA synthesis. Proliferation takes place only in a minority class of large and medium-sized lymphoblasts, w...

CMHC then contracted with 10 consulting firms to gather data from apartment buildings across the country. Construction dates of the buildings range from 1920 to 1993.The buildings are from six to 26 storeys in height and from 3,345 m to 26,795 m in size, with a total of 27 to 400 suites per building. The buildings are located in the West Coast, Prairie, Central and Atlantic regions of the count...
