Gravitomagnetism in the Kerr-Newman-Taub-NUT spacetime
(American Institute of Physics, 2003)
We study the motion of test particles and electromagnetic waves in the Kerr-Newman-Taub-NUT spacetime in order to elucidate some of the effects associated with the gravitomagnetic monopole moment of the source. In particular, ...
Ludwig's angina
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2010)
This issue of eMedRef provides information to clinicians on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapeutics of Ludwig's angina.
Apolipoproteins for Cardiovascular Risk Assessment
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2014)
Clinical Question: Is measurement of apolipoproteins better than traditional lipid measurements for predicting cardiovascular risk? Evidence-Based Answer: Measurement of apolipoprotein B and apolipoprotein A-I is no better ...
Geometry-Dependent Electronic Properties of Highly Fluorescent Conjugated Molecules
(American Physical Society, 2000)
We present a combined experimental/theoretical study of the electronic properties of conjugated para- phenylene type molecules under high pressure up to 80 kbar. Pressure is used as a tool to vary the molecular geometry ...
Ludwig's angina
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2010)
This issue of eMedRef provides information to clinicians on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapeutics of Ludwig's angina.
Inequality and GM Crops : A Case-Study of Bt Cotton in India
(AgBioForum, 2007)
,351) but inequality in cotton income, measured with the Gini coefficient (G), was greater amongst non-adopters than adopters. While Bt adopters had greater acreage of cotton in 2003 (9.92 acres versus 7.42 for non-adopters), the respective values of G were comparable...
Rats selectively bred for high voluntary physical activity behavior are not protected from the deleterious metabolic effects of a Western diet when sedentary
(Oxford University Press, 2019)
Background: Physical activity and diet are well-established modifiable factors that influence chronic disease risk. We developed a selectively bred, polygenic model for high and low voluntary running (HVR and LVR, respectively) ...
Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) in pregnancy
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2000)
This issue of eMedRef provides information to clinicians on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapeutics of pulmonary tuberculosis in pregnant women.
Something old and something new : future directions in vocational research with people of color in the United States
(SAGE Publications Inc., 2019)
Vocational psychology scholarship has largely overlooked the work experiences of people of color. In this article, we present evidence that vocational research that addresses the work issues of people of color has been ...
The Economic Impacts of Introducing Bt Technology in Smallholder Cotton Production Systems of West Africa : A Case Study from Mali
(AgBioForum, 2007)
Africa has been slow to respond to biotechnology even as its pest management grows increasingly obsolete and insects remain a major adversary of its farming. Opponents of biotechnology cite concerns over the scientific ...
Antiphospholipid syndrome
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2009)
This issue of eMedRef provides information to clinicians on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapeutics of antiphospholipid syndrome.
Observation of the superconducting proximity effect in Nb/InAs and NbNx/InAs by Raman scattering
(American Physical Society, 2002)
High-quality thin Nb and NbN films (60-100 Å) are grown on (100) n+-InAs (n=1019cm-3) substrates by dc-magnetron sputter deposition. Studies of the electronic properties of interfaces between the superconductor and the ...
Is there benefit to adding ezetimibe to a statin for the secondary prevention of CVD?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2023-06)
Q: Is there benefit to adding ezetimibe to a statin for the secondary prevention of CVD? Evidence-based answer: YES. In patients with known cardiovascular disease (CVD), ezetimibe with a statin decreases major adverse ...
Assessing the Performance of GM Maize Amongst Smallholders in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
(AgBioForum, 2009)
This study uses data for the 2006/07 maize production season, for the Hlabisa, Dumbe, and Simdlangentsha districts in Kwa- Zulu-Natal, South Africa, to investigate the relative efficiencies of conventional, insect-resistant ...
Millimeter Laser Ranging to the Moon: a comprehensive theoretical model for advanced data analysis
(arXiv, 2009)
Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) measurements are crucial for advanced exploration of the evolutionary history of the lunar orbit, the laws of fundamental gravitational physics, selenophysics and geophysics as well as for future ...
Massless field perturbations and gravitomagnetism in the Kerr-Taub-NUT spacetime
(American Physical Society, 2003)
A single master equation is given describing spin s<~2 test fields that are gauge- and tetrad-invariant perturbations of the Kerr-Taub-NUT (Newman-Unti-Tamburino) spacetime representing a source with a mass M, gravitomagnetic ...
Spin, acceleration and gravity
(American Institute of Physics, 2004)
The massless field perturbations of the accelerating Minkowski and Schwarzschild spacetimes are studied. The results are extended to the propagation of the Proca field in Rindler spacetime. We examine critically the ...
Gravitomagnetism and relative observer clock effects
(American Institute of Physics, 2000)
The gravitomagnetic clock effect and the Sagnac effect for circularly rotating orbits in stationary axisymmetric spacetimes are studied from a relative observer point of view, clarifying their relationships and the roles ...
