Cross Sections And Photoelectron Asymmetry Parameters For Photoionization Of H2o
The iterative Schwinger variational method is used to obtain cross sections and photoelectron asymmetry parameters for photoionization of the three outermost valence orbitals (1b1, 3a1, and 1b2) of H2O for photon energies from near threshold to 50 eV. A comparison of these calculated results with available experimental data is encouraging. © 1990 American Institute of Physics.9242362236
Microabrasion In Tooth Enamel Discoloration Defects: Three Cases With Long-term Follow-ups
Superficial irregularities and certain intrinsic stains on the dental enamel surfaces can be resolved by enamel microabrasion, however, treatment for such defects need to be confined to the outermost regions of the enamel surface. Dental bleaching and resin-based composite repair are also often useful for certain situations for tooth color corrections. This article presented and discussed the indications and limitations of enamel microabrasion treatment. Three case reports treated by enamel microabrasion were also presented after 11, 20 and 23 years of follow-ups.224347354Akin, M., Basciftci, F.A., Can white spot lesions be treated effectively?

The Atp-dependent Rna Helicase Hrpb Plays An Important Role In Motility And Biofilm Formation In Xanthomonas Citri Subsp. Citri
Background: RNA helicases are enzymes that catalyze the separation of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) using the free energy of ATP binding and hydrolysis. DEAD/DEAH families participate in many different aspects of RNA metabolism, including RNA synthesis, RNA folding, RNA-RNA interactions, RNA localization and RNA degradation. Several important bacterial DEAD/DEAH-box RNA helicases have been extensively studied. In this study, we characterize the ATP-dependent RNA helicase encoded by the hrpB (XAC0293) gene using deletion and genetic complementation assays. We provide insights into the function of the hrpB gene in Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri by investigating the roles of hrpB in biofilm formation on abiotic surfaces and host leaves, cell motility, host virulence of the citrus canker bacterium and growth in planta. Results: The hrpB gene is highly conserved in the sequenced strains of Xanthomonas. Mutation of the hrpB gene (Δ;hrpB) resulted in a significant reduction in biofilms on abiotic surfaces and host leaves. Δ;hrpB also exhibited increased cell dispersion on solid medium plates. Δ;hrpB showed reduced adhesion on biotic and abiotic surfaces and delayed development in disease symptoms when sprayed on susceptible citrus leaves. Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR assays indicated that deletion of hrpB reduced the expression of four type IV pili genes. The transcriptional start site of fimA (XAC3241) was determined using rapid amplification of 5′-cDNA Ends (5′RACE). Based on the results of fimA mRNA structure predictions, the fimA 5′ UTR may contain three different loops. HrpB may be involved in alterations to the structure of fimA mRNA that promote the stability of fimA RNA. Conclusions: Our data show that hrpB is involved in adherence of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri to different surfaces. In addition, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a DEAH RNA helicase has been implicated in the regulation of type IV pili in Xanthomonas. © 2016 Granato et al.16
Body Mass Index Percentiles In Adolescents Of The City Of São Paulo, Brazil, And Their Comparison With International Parameters [ppercentis Do Ãndice De Massa Corporal De Adolescentes Na Cidade De São Paulo, Brasil, E Sua Comparação Com Parâmetros Internacionais]
Objective: To describe the percentile distribution of body mass index (BMI) in school adolescents, by gender and age, comparing them with international parameters. Subjects and methods: The study included 8,020 adolescents aged 10-15 years from 43 schools in the city of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. BMI values of the study sample were distributed in percentiles and compared to international parameters (CDC, Must and cols. and Cole and cols.). Results: Both male and female adolescents aged 10 to 14 years showed BMI cut-offs over the international parameters, especially in the P50-P85 percentile range. At the age of 15, the observed values were very similar to reference data; however, BMI values in the 95th percentile were much higher than international parameters. Conclusions: The study results show how important it is to use adequate BMI values for Brazilian adolescents aged 10-15 since international parameters may not reflect the actual nutritional status of this group.543295302Bini, V., Celi, F., Berioli, M.G., Bacosi, M.L., Stella, P., Giglio, P., Body mass index in children and adolescents according to age and pubertal stage (2000) Eur J Clin Nutr, 54 (3), pp. 214-218Pietrobelli, A., Faith, M.S., Allison, D.B., Gallagher, D., Chiumello, G., Heymsfield, S.B., Body mass index as a measure of adiposity among children and adolescents: A validation Study (1998) J Pediatr, 132 (2), pp. 204-210Mei, Z., Grummer, S.L.M., Pietrobelli, A., Goulding, A., Goran, M.I., Dietz, W.H., Validity of body mass index compared with other body-com-position screening indexes for the assessment of body fatness in children and adolescents (2002) Am J Clin Nutr, 75 (6), pp. 978-985Cardiovascular Diseases, , WHO Expert Committee on Hypertension Control., Geneva1994/2001Belizzi, M.C., Dietz, W.H., Workshop on childhood obesity: Summary of the discussion (1999) Am J Clin Nutr, 70 (1), pp. 173S-5SEbbeling, C.B., Pawlak, D.B., Ludwig, D.S., Childhood obesity: Publichealth crisis, common sense cure (2002) Lancet, 360 (9331), pp. 473-482Wang, Y., Wang, J.Q., A comparison of international references for the assessment of child and adolescent overweight and obesity in different populations (2002) Eur J Clin Nutr, 56 (10), pp. 973-982Jelliffe, D.B., The assessment of the nutritional status of the community (1966) WHO Monograph, 53. , Geneva(1971) CDC Growth Charts: United States, , www.cdc.gov/growthcharts, CDC - Center for disease control and prevention. 2000, [online] Hyaltsville: 2002.

Studies Of The Photoionization Cross Sections Of Ch4
We present cross sections and asymmetry parameters for photoionization of the 1t2 orbital of CH4 using static-exchange continuum orbitale of CH4 + to represent the photoelectron wave function. The calculations are done in the fixed-nuclei approximation at a single internuclear geometry. To approximate the near-threshold behavior of these cross sections, we assumed that the photoelectron spectrum is a composite of three electronic bands associated with the Jahn-Teller components of the distorted ion. The resulting cross sections reproduce the sharp rise seen at threshold in the experimental data and are in good agreement with experiment at higher energy. The agreement between the calculated and measured photoelectron asymmetry parameters is, however, less satisfactory. © 1988 American Institute of Physics.8952998300
Application Of The Method Of Continued Fractions To Multichannel Studies On Electronic Excitation Of H2 By Electron Impact
In the present work, the method of continued fractions at a five-channel close-coupling level of approximation is applied to study the low-energy electron-impact excitation in linear molecules. Particularly, cross sections for the X1Σg +→b3Σ u +,X1Σg +→a3Σg +, and X1Σg +→c3Πu transitions in H2 in the (15-40)-eV energy range are reported. As in our early two-state studies, no orthogonality constraint between the bound and continuum orbitals is imposed and the one-electron exchange terms are considered explicitly. In general, our calculated cross sections are in good agreement with the results obtained by the four-state Kohn variational method. Comparison between our calculated results with available experimental data is encouraging. ©2001 The American Physical Society.63316Pitchford, L., McKoy, V., Chutjian, A., Trajmar, S., (1986) Proceedings of the Meeting of the Fourth International Swarm and the Inelastic Electron-Molecule Collisions Symposium, , Swarm Studies and Inelastic Electron-Molecule Collisions, edited by L.

Exploring nu signals in dark matter detectors
We investigate standard and non-standard solar neutrino signals in direct
dark matter detection experiments. It is well known that even without new
physics, scattering of solar neutrinos on nuclei or electrons is an irreducible
background for direct dark matter searches, once these experiments each the ton
scale. Here, we entertain the possibility that neutrino interactions are
enhanced by new physics, such as new light force carriers (for instance a "dark
photon") or neutrino magnetic moments. We consider models with only the three
standard neutrino flavors, as well as scenarios with extra sterile neutrinos.
We find that low-energy neutrino--electron and neutrino--nucleus scattering
rates can be enhanced by several orders of magnitude, potentially enough to
explain the event excesses observed in CoGeNT and CRESST. We also investigate
temporal modulation in these neutrino signals, which can arise from geometric
effects, oscillation physics, non-standard neutrino energy loss, and
direction-dependent detection efficiencies. We emphasize that, in addition to
providing potential explanations for existing signals, models featuring new
physics in the neutrino sector can also be very relevant to future dark matter
searches, where, on the one hand, they can be probed and constrained, but on
the other hand, their signatures could also be confused with dark matter
signals.Comment: 38 pages, 8 figures, 1 table; v3: eq 3 and nuclear recoil plots
