We report a precise measurement of hyperfine structure in the 3S state of the odd isotope of Li, namely Li. The state is excited from the ground 2S state (which has the same parity) using two single-photon transitions via the intermediate 2P state. The value of the hyperfine constant we measure is A = 93.

Heterogeneous amniotic fluid contains various cell types. The aim of this study was to characterize and differentiate some of the key stemness attributes of the amniotic fluid-derived cells in buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). The amniotic fluid (AF) cells were cultured without feeder cells, in DMEM containing 15% FBS, 1% non-essential amino acids, 1% penicillin/streptomycin/ampicillin, 1% vitamin solution, and 1% l-glutamine in 5% CO(2) in humidified air at 38.
