Quenching vibrations of cesium dimers by He at low and ultralow temperatures: quantum dynamical calculations
This paper analyses in detail the energy redistribution from the upper vibrational levels of Cs dimers, thought to be obtained from initial recombination processes that generate excited internal states of the...

Testing the lithium chemistry for early universe models with a quantum reactive method
The chemical evolution of LiH and LiH+ molecules, possibly formed during the recombination era of the early universe, is usually considered in reactions with H and H+, the latter species being some of the most ab...

LiH-(X2Σ+)+3,4He rotational quenching at ultralow energies: spin-flip and isotopic effects from quantum dynamics on an ionic system
We study in this work the quantum scattering between a helium atom and a LiH- molecule at low and ultralow energies. For the noble gas we have considered the two natural isotopes 3He, 4He, plus a “mock” 3.5He. Ou...

Exchanging the ionic partner in a linear Paul trap: the MgH+(X1Σ+) ion with neutral Rb(2S)
In the present computational study we discuss the behavior of the MgH+(X1Σ+) molecular ion interacting with Rb(2S) and argue that it constitutes an amenable system for ultracold chemistry studies in a Coulomb cry...

Ionic interactions and collision dynamics in cold traps: rotational quenching of OH−(1Σ+) by Rb(2S)
A newly computed potential energy surface, which describes the forces at play between the OH− (X 1Σ+) anionic molecule (treated as a rigid rotor at its equilibrium geometry) and the Rb(2S)...

Molecular ions in ultracold atomic gases: computed electronic interactions for MgH+(X1Σ+) with Rb
The electronic structures of the manifold of potential energy surfaces generated in the lower energy range by the interaction of the MgH+(X1Σ+) cationic molecule with Rb(2S) neutral atom are obtained over a br...

115 EFFECT OF GONADECTOMY ON GROWTH FACTORS IN TESTICULAR FENINIZED CHILDREN
Sm-C increase during puberty or sex hormones treatment. Whether this increase is mediated by GH is still unclear. Children with testicular feminization submitted to gonadectomy provide a good model to assess t...

Haemorheologic and fibrinolytic evaluation in obese children and adolescents
The haemorheologic condition was evaluated in 43 obese children and 35 controls. In 18 of the obese children and in 21 controls the euglobulin lysis time (ELT) was also studied. Blood viscosity at 94.5 and at ...

Brain Phosphatidylcholine Pools as Possible Sources of Free Choline for Acetylcholine Synthesis
Choline in cholinergic neurons has two fates: it is a constituent of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and other phospholipids (sphingomyelin, choline plasmalogens, lysophosphatidylcholine) and is used as a precursor f...
