I.—The question of the precision of the determination of the angles of forked tracks is of considerable importance, in particular owing to the possibility of determining nuclear energy levels from Wilson photographs. In an earlier paper some experiments were described in which an artificial track consisting of a bent glass fibre was photographed in different positions. The average error of determination of the angle was found to be 10 minutes of arc. This error was attributed to the lack of perfect adjustment of the camera. That the error of measuring actual tracks could be nearly as small as this was shown by measurements of three collisions in which the difference between the calculated and expected mass ratios was consistent with a probable error of about 10 minutes of arc for the angle measurements. Only such forks were used for these calculations of the mass ratio, for which the three arms appeared unusually straight and for which the test for coplanarity was accurately satisfied. Subsequently two collisions with hydrogen nuclei were described in which the error of the angles was held to be as low as 6 minutes of arc. It was pointed out at the time that many tracks did not, in fact, satisfy these conditions, but sufficient data were not then available for a statistical analysis of the distribution of calculated mass ratios, from which a reliable estimation of the probable error of measurement of an average fork could be made. Since then a great many more photographs have been taken with a larger chamber and an improved camera and such a statistical test is now possible. To test the camera itself five photographs were taken of two black lines ruled on a card. The angles calculated from the photographs were:—

We report on our recent advances in the calculation of the energy levels of the H+2 molecular ion, including relativistic and radiative corrections. These theoretical efforts are linked to the prospect of obtaining a new determination of the proton to electron mass ratio mp/me through precise vibrational spectroscopy of H+2. We describe the setup of our experiment, aiming at a measurement of the L = 2, υ = 0 → L = 2, υ = 1 two-photon transition at 9.166 μm using a phase-locked quantum cascade laser as excitation source.PACS Nos.: 31.15.Pf, 31.30.Jv, 32.10.Hq

Definition Of

There is no generally accepted definition of AR Lac Stars, and the term RS CVn stars is used interchangeably or to refer to a particular subgroup. For the purposes of this discussion I use the term AR Lac stars to refer to detached close binaries showing Ca II emission in at least the cooler component outside eclipse, the hotter component being a main-sequence or subgiant star of spectral type F or G. Most of the systems show irregularities in their light curves as well as period changes. In order to determine whether a system is detached, one must know both the mass ratio and the relative radii. The determination of minimum masses is a fairly straightforward spectroscopic task, and provisional values are available for 22 of the systems, two or possibly three of them being non-eclipsing. All but 3 (AD Cap, RT Lac, RV Lib) have masses of the two components within 30% of each other. Because of appreciable irregularities in the light curves, the radii are subject to considerable uncertainty even when photometry of good precision is available. Nevertheless the 9 systems with very provisional radii all appear to be detached. These all have mass ratios near unity. We may assume, as a working hypothesis, that the other systems with mass ratios near unity are also detached and hence also belong in the AR Lac group. Most of the data referred to are to be found in IBVS 1083.

The Difference

ABSTRACT The fractional determination of 17-ketosteroids in the daily urine was performed in nine cases of hyperemesis gravidarum and in four control cases, in the first trimester of pregnancy both before and after corticotrophin administration. The excretion of total 17-KS is similar in the two groups. Only in the hyperemesis group does the excretion of total 17-KS increase significantly after corticotrophin administration. The fractional determination reveals no difference between the two groups of patients with regard to the values of the fractions U (unidentified 17-KS), A (androsterone) and Rest (11-oxygenated 17-KS). The excretion of dehydroepiandrosterone is significantly higher in the hyperemesis group than in the control group. The excretion of androstanolone seems to be lower in the hyperemesis group than in the control group, but the difference is not statistically significant. The differences in the correlation between dehydroepiandrosterone and androstanolone in the two groups is significant. The high excretion of dehydroepiandrosterone and low excretion of androstanolone in cases of hyperemesis gravidarum is a sign of adrenal dysfunction.

The development of modern civilization attests to its decisive role in the progressive development of institutions. They identified the difference between Western civilization and the rest of the world. Confirmation of the institutional advantages of the West was its early industrialization. The genesis and formation of institutionalism in its ideological and conceptualmethodological orientation occurs as a process alternative to neoclassic in the context of world heterodoxia, which quickly spread in social science. Highlighting institutional education as a separate area of sociocultural activity is determined by the factor of differentiation of institutional theory as a whole. A feature of institutional education is its orientation toward the individual and his/her transformation into a personality. The content of institutional education is revealed through the analysis of the institution, which includes a set of established customs, traditions, ways of thinking, behavioral stereotypes of individuals and social groups. The dynamics of socio-political, economic transformations in Ukraine requires a review of the foundations of national education and determination of the prospects for its development in the 21st century in the context of institutionalism.

The present investigation was undertaken to assess the effects of different doses (100, 300, and 500 mJ) of low power He–Ne laser (632.8 nm) irradiation on seed germination and thermodynamics attributes and activities of potential germinating enzymes in relation with changes in seed metabolites. He–Ne laser seed irradiation increased the amylase (Amy), protease (Pro) and glucosidase (Gluco) activities, with a significant improvement in seed thermodynamics and seed germination attributes. A fast increase was found in free fatty acids (FFA), free amino acids (FAA), chlorophyll (Chl), carotenoids (Car), total soluble sugars (TSS) and reducing sugars (RS) in laser treated seeds in parallel with fast decline in seed oil contents and total soluble proteins (TSP). Significant positive correlations were recorded in laser-induced enhanced seed energy levels, germination, activities of germination enzymes with levels of FAA, FFA, Chl, TSS and RS, but a negative correlation with the levels of TSP and oil. In conclusion, the seed treatment with 100 and 300 mJ He–Ne laser was more effective to improve the seed germination potential associated with an improvement in seed energy levels due to increased activities of germination enzymes due to the speedy breakdown of seed reserves to simple metabolites as building blocks.

The Difference

Gender determination of the human remains can be very challenging, especially in the case of incomplete ones. Herein, we report a proof-of-concept experiment where the possibility of gender recognition using Raman spectroscopy of teeth is investigated. Raman spectra were recorded from male and female molars and premolars on two distinct sites, tooth apex and anatomical neck. Recorded spectra were sorted into suitable datasets and initially analyzed with principal component analysis, which showed a distinction between spectra of male and female teeth. Then, reduced datasets with scores of the first 20 principal components were formed and two classification algorithms, support vector machine and artificial neural networks, were applied to form classification models for gender recognition. The obtained results showed that gender recognition with Raman spectra of teeth is possible but strongly depends both on the tooth type and spectrum recording site. The difference in classification accuracy between different tooth types and recording sites are discussed in terms of the molecular structure difference caused by the influence of masticatory loading or gender-dependent life events.

The neutrinos of cosmic radiation, due to interaction with any known medium in which the Cherenkov detector is used, produce energy radiation phenomena in the form of a Cherenkov cone, in very large frequency spectrum. These neutrinos carry with them the information about the phenomena that produced them and by detecting the electromagnetic energies generated by the Cherenkov cone, we can find information about the phenomena that formed in the universe, at a much greater distance, than possibility of actually detection with current technologies. At present, a very high number of sensors for detection electromagnetic energy is required. Thus, some sensors may detect very low energy levels, which can lead to the erroneous determination of the Cherenkov cone, thus leading to information errors. As a novelty, we propose, to use these sensors for determination of the dielectrically permittivity of any known medium in which the Cherenkov detector is used, by preliminary measurements, the subsequent simulation of the data and the reconstruction of the Cherenkov cone, leading to a significant reduction of problems and minimizing the number of sensors, implicitly the cost reductions. At the same time, we offer the possibility of reconstructing the Cherenkov cone outside the detector volume.
