TL;DR: In this paper, the scaling of elliptic flow (v(2) with eccentricity, system size, and transverse kinetic energy (KET) was shown to be compatible with hydrodynamic expansion of thermalized fluid.
Abstract: Differential measurements of elliptic flow (v(2)) for Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at root s(NN)=200 GeV are used to test and validate predictions from perfect fluid hydrodynamics for scaling of v(2) with eccentricity, system size, and transverse kinetic energy (KET). For KET equivalent to m(T)-m up to similar to 1 GeV the scaling is compatible with hydrodynamic expansion of a thermalized fluid. For large values of KET mesons and baryons scale separately. Quark number scaling reveals a universal scaling of v(2) for both mesons and baryons over the full KET range for Au+Au. For Au+Au and Cu+Cu the scaling is more pronounced in terms of KET, rather than transverse momentum.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the potential for sustainable development of surface water and groundwater resources within the constraints posed by climate change and future search needs in India, and proposed an assessment of the availability of water resources in the co n text of future national requiremen ts and expected impacts of climate change.
Abstract: In recent times, several studies around the globe show that climatic change is likely to impact significantly upon freshwater resources availability. In India, d emand for water has already increased manifold over the years due to urbanization, agriculture expansion, in-creasing population, rapid industrialization and eco-nomic development. At present, changes in crop ping pattern and land -use pattern, ove r-exploitation of w ater storage and changes in irrigation and drainage are modifying the hydrological cycle in many climate re-gions and river basins of India. An assessment of the availability of water resources in the co n text of future national requiremen ts and expected impacts of climate change and its variability is critical for relevant n atio-nal and regional long -term development strat egies and sustainable development. This article examines the p o-tential for sustainable development of surface water and groundwater resources within the constraints i m-posed by climate change and future r esearch needs in India. Keywords: Climate change, groundwater recharge, hy-drology, run -off, water resource. T

TL;DR: Clinical trials and experience demonstrate high efficacy and low toxicity for liposomal amphotericin B (total dose, 20 mg/kg) in immunocompetent patients with VL, and the public health community should work to broaden access to preferential liposome amphoteric in B pricing by public sector VL treatment programs.
Abstract: During the past decade, liposomal amphotericin B has been used with increasing frequency to treat visceral leishmaniasis (VL). The World Health Organization convened a workshop to review current knowledge and to develop guidelines for liposomal amphotericin B use for VL. In Europe, liposomal amphotericin B is widely used to treat VL. In Africa and Asia, the VL disease burden is high and drug access is poor; liposomal amphotericin B is available only through preferential pricing for nonprofit groups in East Africa. Clinical trials and experience demonstrate high efficacy and low toxicity for liposomal amphotericin B (total dose, 20 mg/kg) in immunocompetent patients with VL. Combination trials in areas with antileishmanial drug resistance, and treatment and secondary prophylaxis trials in VL-human immunodeficiency virus-coinfected patients, are important to safeguard the current armamentarium and to optimize regimens. The public health community should work to broaden access to preferential liposomal amphotericin B pricing by public sector VL treatment programs.

TL;DR: In this article, the activation energy for nucleation of particles, for growth of particles and for the total process can all be determined independently by experiment, and the agreement between the theory and the experiments is very satisfactory.
Abstract: In crystallization or precipitation, the activation energy for nucleation of particles,En, for growth of particles,Eg, and for the total process,Ec, can all be determined independently by experiment. Formulae relating these three values are developed. Cases of linear and parabolic growth are included for different nucleation rates and morphologies. The formulae are tested experimentally on amorphous alloys (metallic glasses) based on Fe-Ni. The agreement between the theory and the experiments is very satisfactory.

01 Dec 2014TL;DR: The use of botanical insecticides associated with nanotechnology offers considerable potential for increasing agricultural productivity, while at the same time reducing impacts on the environment and human health.
Abstract: This review article discusses the use of nanotechnology in combination with botanical insecticides in order to develop systems for pest control in agriculture. The main types of botanical insecticides are described, together with different carrier systems and their potential uses. The botanical insecticides include those based on active principles isolated from plant extracts, as well as essential oils derived from certain plants. The advantages offered by the systems are highlighted, together with the main technological challenges that must be resolved prior to future implementation of the systems for agricultural pest control. The use of botanical insecticides associated with nanotechnology offers considerable potential for increasing agricultural productivity, while at the same time reducing impacts on the environment and human health.
