Micromechanical oscillators provide periodic output signals for clocks and sensors by vibrating in a single mechanical mode.The mode is conventionally excited into self-sustained oscillations and stabilized with an external electronic feedback loop.A paradigm is emerging for sustaining vibrations by coupling the mechanical mode with internal degree
On the basis of corpus and experimental evidence, this paper claims that the ongoing process of change affecting the use and interpretation of the [Present under Past] pattern in subjunctive argument clauses in some Spanish varieties is sensitive to the syntactic/semantic type of the clause.The pattern deviates from Flavor Sequence-of-Tense grammar
Abstract Background Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Genital Ulcer Disease (GUD) is an important public health problem, whose interaction with HIV results in mutually enhancing epidemics.Conventional methods for detecting HSV tend to be slow and insensitive.We designed a rapid BLADDER PCR-based assay to quantify and type HSV in cervicovaginal lavage (CVL
This study applied a nuclear technique based on thermalized neutrons (TNs) to estimate maize yield losses arising from water shortage.Crop biomass consists of water, and light hydrogen (1H) existing in water slows down fast neutrons.Hence, TNs can be probably suitable predictors to determine crop losses.A greenhouse experiment was performed to eval
