A simple model is presented which interpolates between the DGLAP and BFKL regimes in deep inelastic cp scattering. This model is based on the CCFM and LDC models, and it is simple enough to provide an intuitive picture of the transition region between the two domains. Results are presented for both fixed and running coupling; for fixed coupling the transition between the domains occurs at a consta

The diastereoselectivity of the carbonyl reduction of bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2,6-dione, catalysed by the purified yeast cytosolic short-chain dehydrogenase Ymr226cp, was shown to be substrate concentration dependent. The changing selectivity was attributed to two distinct binding configurations of the substrate in the active site, each yielding a distinct hydroxy ketone diastereomer. By applying ind

Fuel ethanol can be produced from lignocellulosic materials to replace gasoline and diesel. A crucial step in the production process is the hydrolysis (saccharification) of the material, which can be achieved with dilute acid at high temperature. Unfortunately, sugar is degraded under these severe conditions, and the sugar yield is generally low. This thesis deals with countercurrent operation, wh

OBJECTIVE: To monitor changes in family physicians' reported practice on hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia. DESIGN: Random samples of physicians were selected for telephone interviews on their practice regarding cut-off levels and pharmacological treatment of hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia, related to a case scenario of a 48-year-old man, in 1989, 1991 and 1993. SETTING: Primary care

The utilisation of biofuels is attracting growing support from the European Union and member states as a strategy to tackle climate change, enhance energy security, and contribute to regional development. This paper describes, compares, and analyses the markets for biofuels in Germany and the UK. The introduction of biofuels for transport in these member states provides contrasting pictures, and t

The CEAP classification for chronic venous disorders (CVD) was developed in 1994 by an international ad hoc committee of the American Venous Forum, endorsed by the Society for Vascular Surgery, and incorporated into "Reporting Standards in Venous Disease" in 1995. Today most published clinical papers on CVD use all or portions of CEAP. Rather than have it stand as a static classification system, a

This paper presents an application of the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) and ensemble correlation for detection of the transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs), and high resolution time-frequency mapping. The HHT provides a powerful tool for nonlinear analysis of nonstationary signals such as TEOAEs. Since the HHT itself does not distinguish between signal and noise it was used with ensemble

The aim of this study is to extend the traffic safety assessment concept to also include normal road user behaviour, thus not only exceptional behaviours such as accidents and serious conflicts. The goal is to provide a framework for a more thorough description and analysis of safety related road user behaviour in order to better understand the traffic safety processes. The traffic safety process

We have written a Fortran program BCVEGPY, which is an event generator for the hadronic production of the B-c meson through the dominant hard subprocess gg --> B-c(B-c(*)) + b + c. To achieve a compact program, we have written the amplitude of the subprocess with the particle helicity technique and made it as symmetric as possible, by decomposing the gluon self couplings and then applying the symm

We present new measurements of radiative lifetimes for six energy levelsof singly ionized uranium, U II, using laser-induced fluorescencetechnique. One of the levels,5f³6d7p⁶M_13/2 at 26191 cm^-1,decays by a transition at 3859.6 Å. This line has recently beenobserved in the spectrum of the metal-poor star CS1082-001, the firstdetection of uranium outside t

Hydrolysis of the straw material Paja Brava, a sturdy grass characteristic for the high plains of Bolivia, was studied in order to find suitable conditions for hydrolysis of the hemicellulose and cellulose parts. Dried Paja Brava material was pre-steamed, impregnated with dilute sulfuric acid (0.5% or 1.0% by wt), and subsequently hydrolyzed in a reactor at temperatures between 170 and 230 degrees

Let C be a simple(1) polygonal chain of n edges in the plane, and let p and q be two arbitrary points on C. The detour of C on (p, q) is defined to be the length of the subchain of C that connects p with q, divided by the Euclidean distance between p and q. Given an epsilon >0, we compute in time O((1)/(epsilon) n log n) a pair of points on which the chain makes a detour at least 1/(1 + epsilon) t

In some supersymmetric models, the gluino ((g) over tilde) is predicted to be light and stable. In that case, it would hadronize to form R-hadrons. In these models, the missing energy signature of the lightest supersymmetric particle is no longer valid, even if R-parity is conserved. Therefore, such a gluino is not constrained by hadron collider results, which looked for the decay (g) over tilde -

Background. Artificial neural networks have successfully been applied for automated interpretation of myocardial perfusion images. So far the networks have used data from the myocardial perfusion images only. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the automated interpretation of myocardial perfusion images with the use of artificial neural networks was improved if clinical data were
