We use an effective lagrangian previously derived from a long-distance self-consistent solution of the Schwinger-Dyson equations of Yang-Mills theory to study some long-distance problems in QCD. In particular we show: (i) the long-distance contribution to the energy of a system containing a net color electric charge is infinite and hence there are no such states in the physical spectrum; (ii) the long-distance contribution to the energy of a system containing a net color magnetic charge is completely screened at distances r > 1/ΛrmQCD. 相似文献
In order to determine possible effects of exposure to nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on cognitive processes, the performance of imaged, sham exposed, and control rats on a spatial memory task was examined. This particular task was chosen because, under some conditions, animals use the magnetic field as a compass when navigating. The rats were required to collect food from eight different locations before returning to an already chosen location. All three groups of rats achieved a high level of performance, and there were no differences between groups in any of the performance measures examined. These results indicate that the MRI procedure has no significant effect on spatial memory processes in rats. 相似文献
Reaction of 2,3-dialkylindoles with o-nitrophenylsulfenyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine gives good yields of previously unknown 3-o-nitrophenylsulfenyl-2,3-dialkylindolenines which decompose thermally to give the corresponding 2,3-dialkylindole and N1-o-nitrophenylsulfenyl indoles. 相似文献
Constant mode ambient mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) of tissue sections with high lateral resolution of better than 10 μm was performed by combining shear force microscopy with nanospray desorption electrospray ionization (nano-DESI). Shear force microscopy enabled precise control of the distance between the sample and nano-DESI probe during MSI experiments and provided information on sample topography. Proof-of-concept experiments were performed using lung and brain tissue sections representing spongy and dense tissues, respectively. Topography images obtained using shear force microscopy were comparable to the results obtained using contact profilometry over the same region of the tissue section. Variations in tissue height were found to be dependent on the tissue type and were in the range of 0–5 μm for lung tissue and 0–3 μm for brain tissue sections. Ion images of phospholipids obtained in this study are in good agreement with literature data. Normalization of nano-DESI MSI images to the signal of the internal standard added to the extraction solvent allowed us to construct high-resolution ion images free of matrix effects.
In this study we assessed the suitability of semiconducting P3OT thin films (30 nm) to sustain attachment, spreading, and proliferation of MC3T3‐E1 osteoblasts. Cell area correlated with surface wettability: area was larger on the more hydrophilic surface (TCPS) and lower on the more hydrophobic surface (P3OT). Cells were rounder, characterized by higher circularity values, on TCPS and Si compared to P3OT. P3OT proliferation rate at 24 h fell twofold after 48 h, then recovered at 72 h to a value significantly higher than that on TCPS. Presoaking experiments showed no evidence of cytotoxic effects or leachants from P3OT. Overall, we conclude that P3OT is a viable substrate for osteoblast attachment and proliferation.
