The interstitial carbon-oxygen defect is a prominent defect formed in e-irradiated Cz-Si containing carbon. Previous stress alignment investigations have shown that the oxygen atom weakly perturb the carbon interstitial but the lack of a high-frequency oxygen mode has been taken to imply that the oxygen atom is severely affected and becomes overcoordinated. Local vibrational mode spectroscopy and

BACKGROUND: Asthma may be defined either as wheeze within the previous 12 months (current wheeze) doctor-diagnosed asthma (DDA), or current wheeze plus confirmed airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). AIMS: We wanted to estimate asthma prevalence in randomly selected adolescents based on different criteria for asthma diagnosis, study gender differences in reported asthma-like symptoms vs DDA, and relat
For anhydrobiotic metazoans the rate of desiccation is an important factor influencing the probability of survival in a dry anhydrobiotic state. Formation of animal aggregations, in which the exposed body surface area of individual animals is reduced, represents one way to reduce the rate of evaporation. Such aggregations have earlier been documented in e.g., nematodes. We experimentally evaluate
To explore the molecular mechanisms responsible for the variation in smooth muscle contractile kinetics, the influence of MgATP, MgADP, and inorganic phosphate (P(i)) on force and shortening velocity in thiophosphorylated "fast" (taenia coli: maximal shortening velocity Vmax = 0.11 ML/s) and "slow" (aorta: Vmax = 0.015 ML/s) smooth muscle from the guinea pig were compared. P(i) inhibited active fo
The surface-to-bulk intensity ratio in Auger electron spectra has been studied in comparison with core-level photoelectron spectra using free argon clusters of sizes ranging over two orders of magnitude. Enhanced surface sensitivity is observed in L2,3M2,3M2.3 Auger electron spectra compared to 2p photoelectron spectra where electrons of similar kinetic energies were recorded. This is discussed in
Although most institutions offer some kind of follow-up to patients operated on for colorectal cancer, its value with respect to prolonged survival has been challenged. However, improved results of liver surgery and chemotherapy make it reasonable to assume that a follow-up programme leading to detection of more asymptomatic recurrences would result in improved survival. Liver metastases and extra
The absorption of hydrogen chloride by spent desulfurization sorbents containing calcium carbonate, calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide was investigated. The experiments were carried out in a fixed-bed reactor in two temperature ranges: 423-523 K for slaked lime and 673-873 K for limestone and quicklime. The spent Ca-based sorbents can still react with hydrogen chloride, and after calcining and sl

Lifetimes of high spin states in the nucleus Tc-90 have been measured via the fusion evaporation reactions Ni-58(Ar-36, 3pn)Tc-90 at 140 MeV and Ni-58(Cl-35, 2pn)Tc-90 at 120 MeV beam energy. The OSIRIS spectrometer as well as a new neutron-gamma-coincidence setup were used to measure lifetimes in the 10(-12) - 10(-9) s range by the recoil distance Doppler-shift method. By means of gamma-multiplic
