In cuprate superconductors, due to strong electronic correlations, there are multiple intertwined orders which either coexist or compete with superconductivity. Among them, the antiferromagnetic (AF) order is the most prominent one. In the region where superconductivity sets in, the long-range AF order is destroyed. Ye... |
In this paper, we propose a robust method to estimate carrier frequency offset (CFO) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. A training symbol with two identical halves is employed to measure the fractional part of the CFO. While the integral part is estimated by using a novel noise subspace base... |
Background Advance Care Planning (ACP) explores patients’ values and preferences to plan their care. Barriers for healthcare professionals to start it include fear to talk about end of life or lack of communication skills. Self-efficacy (SE) is a key factor that impacts learning about ACP. Measuring SE would show the i... |
This article presents a new method of linear programming (LP) for solving Markov decision processes (MDPs) based on the simplex method (SM). SM has shown to be the most efficient method in many practical problems; unfortunately, classical SM has an exponential complexity. Therefore, new SMs have emerged for obtaining o... |
We show that the exact beta-function β(g) in the continuous 2D gΦ4 model possesses the Kramers-Wannier duality symmetry. The duality symmetry transformation g̃ = d(g) such that β(d(g)) = d′(g)β(g) is constructed and the approximate values of g∗ computed from the duality equation d(g∗) = g∗ are shown to agree with the a... |
We report high-resolution x-ray scattering measurements of the commensurate-incommensurate transition of Kr on graphite which has been preplated with 0.1 monolayer of Xe. The Xe raises transition pressure, and produces a 31% range of pressures over which composite lineshapes are observed. These results are discussed in... |
The advantages of the programmable control paradigm are widely known in the design of synchronous sequential circuits: easy correction of late design errors, easy upgrade of product families to meet time-to-market constraints, and modifications of the control algorithm, even at run time. However, despite the growing in... |
Several in vitro studies have suggested the presence of Th2‐skewed immunity during pregnancy in infants with atopic diseases. Our study indicated that allergic infants showed a higher birth weight and shorter gestational period at birth than those of non‐allergic peers. Moreover, allergic mothers gave birth to neonates... |
The equilibrium potential and exchange current density were measured as a function of the hydrogen content in a TiMn1.5Hx (x<0.31) electrode. The reaction order of hydrogen in the electrode is estimated as 0.67 and the activity coefficient of hydrogen is found to be unity. The influence of the absorbed hydrogen on the ... |
Central to teaching is a grand dichotomy: public and private. Children need the protection of privacy to form their own identities: they try out new roles and need to be sheltered from some consequences of these attempts so that they feel confident to keep trying. Forming an identity, however, is also a public concern:... |

Users with different backgrounds can remotely engage in the entire design cycle, improving the quality of the end result. In BUDI, the display and interactive environment were ... |
For BSIT, it is well-known that the ideal relation between the drain current and the drain voltage with respect to the source is pentode-like, the saturated property. But the result from practical measurements shows I/sub D/ increases slightly with rising V/sub D/, just like the phenomenon observed in a BJT, which is a... |
Abstract Greenberg and Mitchell considered Heinz Kohut a “mixed model” theorist who retained allegiance to drive theory while developing a theory that contradicted it in the direction of fundamental relationality. They justly gave Kohut credit for his contributions, and rightly challenged his inconsistencies and limita... |
Activation of naive T lymphocytes is regulated through a series of discrete checkpoints that maintain unresponsiveness to self. During this multistep process, costimulatory interactions act as inducible signals that allow APCs to selectively mobilize T cells against foreign Ags. In this study, we provide evidence that ... |
We have investigated the electron impact single ionization of the hydrogen molecule, with fully determined kinematics. The experimental and theoretical results are compared with He ionization under the same conditions. The results indicate that the ejected electron angular distribution for H(2) is modified due to Young... |

BACKGROUND |
In recent years, there has been an increased fruit addition to the brewing process, especially in craft breweries. Fruit addition leads to changes in the organoleptic characteristics and chemical composition of beers. Bilberries are rich in phenolic compounds and possess significant antioxidant capacity. The effects of... |
METHODS |
An infusion mashing method was applied for the purpose of obtaining wort with an original extract of 14°P after boiling. Pilsner malt, bitter and aromatic hops 60/40 (Perle and Cascade, respectively), dry yeast Saccharomyces pastorianus (carlsbergensis) Saflager W 34/70, and bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) were use... |
RESULTS |
The changes in 10 phenolic acids, 7 flavonoids, and 10 protein fractions in beer with bilberries added at the beginning and on the seventh day of maturation were studied. The addition of bilberries led to an increase in the phenolic acid (3-fold) and flavonoid (6.2-fold) concentrations. The highest enrichment was obser... |
CONCLUSIONS |
This study provides new information related to the changes in the phenolic and protein profile of beer with bilberries depending on the time of bilberry addition during beer maturation. The protein concentration and number of protein fractions decreased dramatically. In spite of the significant protein losses, the bilb... |
