UÄinak temperature i dodatka indija na mehaniÄka svojstva legure Alâ0.21wt%Au
Tensile characteristics of both Alâ0.21wt%Au and Alâ0.21wt%Auâ0.21wt%In alloys were investigated in the temperature range 493 K to 553 K. The coefficient of work hardening, Ï = âÏ2/âÂČ, yield stress, Ïy, and fracture stress, Ïf , decreased with increasing deformation temperature (T) and exhibited abrupt increase at about 523 K. On the other hand, the fracture strain, ÂČf , and dislocation slip distance, L, increased with increasing deformation temperature and exhibited minima at about 523 K. The activation energy was determined in the range around 523 K to clarify the observed change in the behaviour of the hardening characteristics of the investigated samples.IstraĆŸivali smo istezna svojstva legura Alâ0.21wt%Au i Alâ0.21wt%Auâ0.21wt%In na temperaturama 493 K do 553 K. Koeficijent mehaniÄkog oÄvrĆĄÄivanja, Ï = âÏ2/âÂČ, granica elastiÄnosti, Ïy, i granica loma, Ïf , smanjuju se pri poviĆĄenim temperaturama istezanja (T) te pokazuju nagao porast na oko 523 K. Nasuprot tome, lomno istezanje, ÂČf , i prosjeÄna duljina klizanja dislokacija, L, poveÄali su se s poviĆĄenom temperaturom istezanja, a pokazuju i minimum na oko 523 K. Radi objaĆĄnjenja opaĆŸenih promjena u procesu oÄvrĆĄÄivanja ispitivanih uzoraka odredili smo aktivacijsku energiju na temperaturama oko 523 K

CaracterizaciĂłn estructural y actividad biolĂłgica de sulfolĂpidos de algas marinas seleccionadas
The sulfolipid classes (SLs) in the total lipids of five species of marine algae, two species of Rhodophyta (Laurencia popillose, Galaxoura cylindriea), one species of Chlorophyta (Ulva fasciata), and two species of Phaeophyta (Dilophys fasciola, Taonia atomaria) were separated and purified on DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The SLs component was identified by IR, gas chromatography MS/MS and liquid chromatography MS/MS. The level of SLs contents va ried from 1.25% (in L. papillose) to 11.82% (in D. fasciola) of the total lipid contents. However, no significant differences in sulfate content (0.13 â 0.21%) were observed among all these algae species. All SLs were characterized by high contents of palmitic acid (C 16:0), which ranged from 30.91% in G. cylindriea to 63.11% in T. atomatia. The main constitutes of algal sulfolipids were identified as sulfoquinovosyl-di-acylglycerol and sulfoquinovosyl acylglycerol.
The sulfolipids of different algal species exhibited remarkable antiviral activity against herps simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) with an IC50 ranging from 18.75 to 70. 2 ÎŒg mLâ1. Moreover, algal sulfolipid inhibited the growth of the tumor cells of breast and liver human cancer cells with IC50 values ranging from 0.40 to 0.67 ÎŒg mLâ1 for human breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF7).Se separaron diferentes clases sulfolĂpidos (SL) a partir de los lĂpidos totales de cinco especies de algas marinas: una especie de Chlorophyta (Ulva fasciata), dos especies de Phaeophyta (Dilophys fasciola, Taonia atomaria) y dos especies de Rhodophyta (Laurencia popillose, Galaxoura cylindriea) que se purificaron mediante cromatografĂa en columna de DEAE-celulosa. Los components de SLs fueron identificados por IR, cromatografĂa de gases MS/MS y cromatografĂa lĂquida MS/ MS. Los contenidos de SL en relaciĂłn al total de lĂpidos variĂł de 1,25% (en L. papilosa) al 11,82% (en D. fasciola). Sin embargo, no hay diferencias significativas en el contenido de sulfato observado entre todas estas especies de algas (desde 0,13 hasta 0,21%). Todos los SL se caracterizaron por un alto contenido de ĂĄcido palmĂtico (C16:0), que oscilĂł entre 30,91% en G. cylindriea a 63,11% en T. atomatia. Sulfoquinovosyl-di-acilglicerol y acilglicerol sulfoquinovosyl fueron identificados como los principales constituyentes de los sulfolĂpidos de estas algas.

The semileptonic decays of the B_c meson
We study the semileptonic transitions B_c to \eta_c, J/\psi, D, D^*, B, B^*,
B_s, B_s^* in the framework of a relativistic constituent quark model. We use
experimental data on leptonic J/\psi decay, lattice and QCD sum rule results on
leptonic B_c decay, and on radiative \eta_c transitions to adjust the quark
model parameters. We compute all form factors of the above semileptonic
B_c-transitions and give predictions for various semileptonic B_c decay modes
including their \tau-modes when they are kinematically accessible. The
implications of heavy quark symmetry for the semileptonic decays are discussed
and are shown to be manifest in our explicit relativistic quark model
calculation. A comparison of our results with the results of other calculations
is performed.Comment: 31 pages Latex (uses epsf, revtex). Section II expanded, typos

Laparoscopy in management of appendicitis in high-, middle-, and low-income countries: a multicenter, prospective, cohort study.
BACKGROUND: Appendicitis is the most common abdominal surgical emergency worldwide. Differences between high- and low-income settings in the availability of laparoscopic appendectomy, alternative management choices, and outcomes are poorly described. The aim was to identify variation in surgical management and outcomes of appendicitis within low-, middle-, and high-Human Development Index (HDI) countries worldwide. METHODS: This is a multicenter, international prospective cohort study. Consecutive sampling of patients undergoing emergency appendectomy over 6Â months was conducted. Follow-up lasted 30Â days. RESULTS: 4546 patients from 52 countries underwent appendectomy (2499 high-, 1540 middle-, and 507 low-HDI groups). Surgical site infection (SSI) rates were higher in low-HDI (OR 2.57, 95% CI 1.33-4.99, pâ=â0.005) but not middle-HDI countries (OR 1.38, 95% CI 0.76-2.52, pâ=â0.291), compared with high-HDI countries after adjustment. A laparoscopic approach was common in high-HDI countries (1693/2499, 67.7%), but infrequent in low-HDI (41/507, 8.1%) and middle-HDI (132/1540, 8.6%) groups. After accounting for case-mix, laparoscopy was still associated with fewer overall complications (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.42-0.71, pâ<â0.001) and SSIs (OR 0.22, 95% CI 0.14-0.33, pâ<â0.001). In propensity-score matched groups within low-/middle-HDI countries, laparoscopy was still associated with fewer overall complications (OR 0.23 95% CI 0.11-0.44) and SSI (OR 0.21 95% CI 0.09-0.45). CONCLUSION: A laparoscopic approach is associated with better outcomes and availability appears to differ by country HDI. Despite the profound clinical, operational, and financial barriers to its widespread introduction, laparoscopy could significantly improve outcomes for patients in low-resource environments.
