Radiative lifetimes have been studied in neutral copper, gold, magnesium, zinc, tellurium, sulphur, selenium, bismuth and helium and in singly ionised platinum and palladium. The radiative lifetimes were determined by time-resolved spectroscopy following single, two-photon or stepwise laser excitation. The excitations required short wavelengths, obtained by frequency mixing of radiation from pulse
We investigate argumentation where an expression is substituted with a less precise expression. We propose that the effect that this deprecization has on the audience be called deprecization effect. When the audience agrees more with the less precise version of the argument, there is a positive deprecization effect. We conducted an experiment where the participants were presented with a court room
This study aims to explore the development in child and adult grammars of a noun-related feature in French, namely gender. In brief, previous research has shown that gender assignment and gender agreement in a language such as French is just as easy for the mono- or bilingual child (Carroll, 1989; Clark, 1985; Müller, 1990, 1994) as it is difficult for the (adult) L2 learner (Bartning, 2000; Carro
An overview of the present knowledge about succinate:quinone oxidoreductase in Paracoccus denitrificans and Bacillus subtilis is presented. P. denitrificans contains a monoheme succinate:ubiquinone oxidoreductase that is similar to that of mammalian mitochondria with respect to composition and sensitivity to carboxin. Results obtained with carboxin-resistant P. denitrificans mutants provide inform
We report the results of two newspaper reading experiments. We examine how readersÕ eye movements are affected by graphical elements such as photos and information graphics. Control variables in these experiments include size and content of photos, and spatial structure of information graphics. We hypothesized that large photo size and animate photo content would be associated with a local increas
We have investigated nuclear fragmentation reactions of a relativistic Pb-208 beam. Ten isomeric states for nuclei with A = 142-152 and Z = 62-67 were observed. Measured isomeric ratios were compared, together with values from other experiments, with prediction of theoretical models. The discrepancies between the experimental and theoretical values were discussed in terms of transitions by-passing
The article relates the concept of God's "plan" in Job 38:2 and 42:3 to similar concepts in earlier Ancient Near Eastern mythological literature, especially the term niklātu ("wise, ingenious things") used in the Babylonian Enuma Elish to describe the actions of Marduk - both the battle against the chaos monster Tiamat and the creation of the earthly world. Parallels are also drawn to expressions
The complexing ability of the binary system trans-aconitic acid (H3L) with regard to Cd(II) and the crystal structures of the binary system Cd(II)-(H3L), [Cd3L2(H2O)(6)] n(1) and ternary systems of Cd(II)-(H3L)-Lewis base [Lewis base = 1,10-phenanthroline (2) and 2,2'-bipyridine (3)] have been determined. Compound I is a rare binodal four-connected three-dimensional (3D) metal-organic framework po
Coeliac disease (CD) is becoming a model for understanding the pathogenesis of autoimmune disorders. In CD, antibodies against transglutaminase 2 (TG2) and specific glutamine residues of gliadins have been identified. A similar situation is seen in rheumatoid arthritis with both anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) and auto-antibodies against the citrullinating enzyme, peptidylarginine deim
One of the major symptoms of the neurodegenerative condition Parkinson's disease (PD) is a slowness or loss of voluntary movement, yet frustratingly therapeutic strategies designed to restore movement can result in the development of excessive abnormal movements known as dyskinesia. These dyskinesias commonly develop as a result of pharmacotherapy in the form of L-DOPA administration, but have als
Purpose - Even though noticeable improvements have been made in global health in recent years, the distribution is uneven throughout the world and many developing and low-income countries lack access to required medicine and vaccines. Thus, a model to strategically source vaccines for these nations can contribute a great deal. This paper presents an extensive review of strategic sourcing literatur
This paper investigates the distribution of embedded verb second in Faroese, Icelandic, Norwegian, and Swedish. Two conclusions can be drawn from the study. First, none of the Scandinavian languages can be said to display generalized embedded verb second across the board. There are varieties of Faroese and Icelandic that display restrictions of the kind found in the other Scandinavian languages. I
Let mu be a finite positive measure on the closed disk (D) over bar in the complex plane, let 1 <= t < infinity, and let P-t(mu) denote the closure of the analytic polynomials in L-t(mu). We suppose that D is the set of analytic bounded point evaluations for P-t(mu), and that P-t(mu) contains no nontrivial characteristic functions. It is then known that the restriction of mu to partial derivative
Pseudocoordination is a construction where two verbs or VPs appear to be conjoined by what looks like the conjunction och ‘and’. In my paper I focus on pseudocoordination with gå ‘walk, go’ as Verb 1, in particular cases where this has been claimed to give rise to a “surprise effect” (Wiklund 2005, 2008). I set out from the assumption that Verb 1 in pseudocoordination is a light verb, which, follo
Membrane vesicles, originating from grana, grana core (appressed grana regions), grana margins and stroma lamellae/end membranes, were analysed by counter current distribution (CCD) using aqueous dextran-polyethylene glycol two-phase systems. Each vesicle population gave rise to distinct peaks in the CCD diagram representing different vesicle subpopulations. The grana vesicles and grana core vesic
