Monotherapy with quetiapine seems to be efficacious in reducing symptoms of generalised anxiety disorder and this effect may be similar learn more to that of antidepressants. However, quetiapine’s efficacy must be weighed against its lower tolerability.”
“Previous Monte Carlo investigations of binary hard hyperspheres in four-dimensional mixtures are extended
to higher densities where the systems may solidify. The ratios of the diameters of the hyperspheres examined were 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6. Only the 0.4 system shows a clear two phase, solid-liquid transition and the larger component solidifies into a D-4 crystal state. Its pair correlation function agrees with that of a one component fluid at an appropriately scaled density. The 0.5 systems exhibit states that are a mix of D-4 and A(4) regions. The 0.6 systems behave similarly to a jammed state rather than solidifying into a crystal. No demixing into two distinct fluid phases was observed for any of the simulations.

“We developed a highly sensitive displacement detection scheme for a GaAs-based electromechanical resonator using an integrated high electron mobility transistor (HEMT). Piezoelectric voltage generated by the vibration of the resonator is applied to the gate of the HEMT, resulting in the on-chip amplification of the signal voltage.
This detection scheme achieves a displacement sensitivity of similar to 9pm.Hz(-1/2), which is one of the highest among on-chip purely electrical
displacement detection schemes at room temperature. (C) 2011 The Japan Society of Applied Physics”
“California privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium Hassk.) plants exhibiting leaf yellowing, witches’ broom, dieback and decline symptoms were observed for two years (2010-2011) in three gardens at Adana region (Turkey). DNA isolated from symptomatic and healthy plants was used to amplify 16S rDNA Compound Library fragments by direct and nested-PCR. Phytoplasmas were detected in 21 symptomatic plants, out of 30 samples collected, whilst no PCR amplifications were obtained from asymptomatic plants. BLAST analysis of the 16S rDNA showed that the phytoplasma found in L. ovalifolium from Turkey, denoted as Turkish Ligustrum witches’ broom phytoplasma (TuLiWB), most closely resembled members of group 16SrII (peanut witches’ broom group) and shared up to 92 % sequence identity. Based on in silico 16S rDNA RFLP analysis and automated calculation of the pattern similarity coefficient, TuLiWB showed molecular characteristics different from all previously described phytoplasma species to represent a new taxon. Similar indication also emerged from the phylogenetic tree which allocated it in a novel discrete subclade within the phytoplasma clade. This is the first report on the presence of a phytoplasma affecting L.
