We report the observation of the flavor-changing neutral current process b-->dgamma using a sample of 386 x 106 B meson pairs accumulated by the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider.

In this study, the effect of high γ-doses on the track parameters, structure as well as optical properties of pristine and γ-irradiation CR-39 nuclear track detector (NTD) were investigated. CR-39 detectors were exposed to γ-doses from 50 up to 500 kGy and then irradiated by fission ions (F.F) of fluence from CF source.

Purpose: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) may aid accurate tumor grading. Decreased diffusivity and increased diffusion heterogeneity measures have been observed in high-grade gliomas using the non-monoexponential models for DWI. However, DWI measures concerning tissue characteristics in terms of pathophysiological and structural changes are yet to be established.

For a mixed system of a typical membrane protein solubilizer CHAPS (a derivative of a bile acid cholic acid) combined with a bile salt (sodium salt of glycocholic acid, NaGC), which is also a candidate as a membrane protein solubilizer, micellization and adsorbed film formation in a phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.4 at 303 K were studied paying special attention to the synergistic effect upon mixing. The collection of sufficient data based on plots of surface tension (gamma) versus logarithmic concentration (C(t) or m(t)) in total molality at discrete mole fractions (X(2)) in the mixture of surfactants 1 and 2 (where 1 and 2 correspond to CHAPS and NaGC, respectively) allowed us to accurately determine critical micelle concentration (CMC), minimum surface tension at CMC (gamma(CMC)), and the slope (dgamma/dlnC(t)) from the gamma-lnC(t) curves in the concentration range just below CMC.
