The Interaction Of The Dipole Moment Of The Water Molecule With The Interface States Of The Cuprous Oxide/Cupric Oxide Junction, Necmi̇ Seri̇n, Tülay Seri̇n, Basri̇ Ünal Jan 2000

The Interaction Of The Dipole Moment Of The Water Molecule With The Interface States Of The Cuprous Oxide/Cupric Oxide Junction, Necmi̇ Seri̇n, Tülay Seri̇n, Basri̇ Ünal

Turkish Journal of Physics

An Au/CuO/Cu$_{2}$O/Cu sandwich structure has been obtained by growing successive Cu$_{2}$O and CuO layers on a Cu sheet. A gold metal contact was formed CuO side at pressure of $1\times10^{-6}$ Torr. Current-voltage characteristics and capacitance of the system were seen to change over a great extent due to the presence of humidity. The effect of the humidity on Au/CuO/Cu$_{2}$O/Cu is explored through the effect of water's dipole moment.

Skyrmions From Harmonic Maps, Wojtek Zakrzewski Jan 2000

Skyrmions From Harmonic Maps, Wojtek Zakrzewski

Turkish Journal of Physics

We describe some relations between solitonic solutions of various models in different dimensions. We present some examples and then concentrate on some of our recent work (performed in collaboration with Ioannidou and Piette) \cite{IPZ} \cite{us2} which shows how some harmonic maps from $S^2$ to $CP^{N-1}$ can be used to find nontrivial spherically symmetric static solutions of the $SU(N)$ Skyrme model in 3 dimensions and to generate some of its low energy field configurations.

A Case For User Charges In Public Hospitals, Mohammed H. Mufti Jan 2000

A Case For User Charges In Public Hospitals, Mohammed H. Mufti

Saudi Medical Journal

The present decline in per capita expenditure on health in Saudi Arabia requires private funding to reduce pressure of health expenditure on the government budget. User charges would be an important source of revenue in the Kingdom where services cannot be cut and taxes are not imposed. User charges in public facilities would curtail over-utilization and reduce inefficient use of resources by providing a link between financial responsibility and the provision of services. The financial implication facing patients would encourage them to be more cost-conscience, and therefore their physicians would be encouraged to limit practices such as over prescribing drugs …

Old And New Anti-Epileptic Drugs In Pregnancy, Giovanni Regesta, Paolo Tanganelli Jan 2000

Old And New Anti-Epileptic Drugs In Pregnancy, Giovanni Regesta, Paolo Tanganelli

Saudi Medical Journal

During the recent years, a significant number of anti-epileptic drugs have been approved for prescription in different countries. In addition, some other promising drugs are in various stages of development. Soon after each drug has found its place in the therapeutic arsenal, pregnancies with exposure occur, with an increased risk of birth defect and developmental disturbances. As regards the possible teratogenic effect of the new anti-epileptic drugs, apart some individual reports we have only the results of pre-clinical toxicological studies which are difficult to extrapolate to the human situation, because of the well-known interspecies differences in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Furthermore, …

Adolescent Endocrinology In Saudi Arabia, Mohamed A. Abdullah, Hamad S. Al-Salhi, Mona A. Anani, Liza Q. Melendrez

Saudi Medical Journal

OBJECTIVE: The importance of providing special health care services for adolescents has been recently stressed. In Saudi Arabia, adolescents have no special services. In this study, we describe our first 5 years experience of an adolescent endocrinology clinic in Security Forces Hospital. We believe it is the first clinic with this objective in the Kingdom. METHODS: An adolescent endocrinology clinic was run by a team composed of pediatric endocrinologist, diabetic nurse educator, clinic nurse and a dietician in collaboration with other supportive staff and consultants from other disciplines. The methodology of setting up, staffing and running the clinic is described. …

Thyroid Function In Cord Blood, Gerard Henry, Samia H. Sobki, Najla M. Al-Beshara, Mimmi E. Harkonen, Helen R Miller, Basil J. Al-Nakeeb

Saudi Medical Journal

OBJECTIVE: To determine the biochemical parameters of thyroid function in the cord blood of Saudi infants. METHODS: Cord blood samples sent to the Pathology Department for screening for congenital hypothyroidism were used to determine the reference ranges for thyrotropin, free thyroxine, free triiodothyronine, thyroxine-binding globulin and thyroglobulin. All the measurements were carried out by immunoassay (Elisa, microparticle enzyme immunoassay or chemiluminescence immunoassay). Reference ranges were calculated after exclusion of outliers. RESULTS: Reference ranges for thyrotropin, free thyroxine and thyroxine-binding globulin were similar to published values, whereas those for free triiodothyronine and thyroglobulin were different. CONCLUSION: For correct interpretation of the …

Coattail Class Actions: Reflections On Microsoft, Tobacco, And The Mixing Of Public And Private Lawyering In Mass Litigation , Howard M. Erichson Jan 2000

Coattail Class Actions: Reflections On Microsoft, Tobacco, And The Mixing Of Public And Private Lawyering In Mass Litigation , Howard M. Erichson

Faculty Scholarship

Ask anyone who follows legal news to name the two biggest litigation news stories in the United States at the start of the twenty-first century, and they will answer without blinking: Microsoft and tobacco. The Microsoft litigation, they will tell you, claims a place in the pantheon of antitrust landmarks that includes Standard Oil, Alcoa, and AT&T. The tobacco litigation is the most massive in a string of mass torts including asbestos, Dalkon Shield, and breast implants; it is arguably the most important public health matter ever litigated. Microsoft and tobacco each fit so well and so interestingly in their …

Delgado, Hegel And The Rodrigo Chronicles, George A. Martinez Jan 2000

Delgado, Hegel And The Rodrigo Chronicles, George A. Martinez

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

Richard Delgado has made path-breaking contributions to the literature on race and American law. His Rodrigo Chronicles are already classics of the Critical Race Theory genre. It is, therefore, wholly appropriate that the Harvard Latino Law Review dedicated a symposium issue to an examination of the Rodrigo Chronicles and Delgado's other work. In this symposium essay, the author attempts to illuminate Delgado's project in the Chronicles through an examination of various aspects of Hegel's philosophy. Hegel's philosophy allows us to better understand Delgado's work in the Chronicles and elsewhere.
