Seeding Induced Aligned Microstructures (S.I.A.M.) in Yba2Cu306+X
Annealing of YBa2Cu_Og (12 3) above the peritectic temperature, followed by slow cooling at 0.5 C/min, was found to produce a microstructure containing regions (d - 200 microns) within which the grains were highl...

REE biological metallogeny—A preliminary study
Five species of bacteria have been found in granite-weathering profiles of Ore District 701. They tend to decrease in varieties and quantities from the upper part downward, and no bacterium has been brought up...

Jejunal brake
Optimal absorption of fat requires adequate time of contact with the absorptive sites of the small intestine. In order to prevent steatorrhea, intestinal transit must be slowed in response to the fat that has ...

Intestinal Transit Is More Potently Inhibited by Fat in the Distal (Ileal Brake) than in the Proximal (Jejunal Brake) Gut
Fat in the proximal and distal gut inhibitsintestinal transit as the jejunal brake and the ilealbrake. It is unknown, however, whether the intestinaltransit response to fat in the proximal vs distal gut is dif...

Development of a simple molecular marker specific for detecting the self-compatibleS4′ haplotype in sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.)
In sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.), theS4′ haplotype, characterized by a self-incompatibility (SI) defect in pollen, is self-compatible and is derived from the self-incompatibleS4 haplotype by x-ray mutagenesis.SF...
