The thyroid gland, which has a central role in the control of metabolism via T_3 and T_4 hormones, is the target of the most common autoimmune diseases [1]. The thyroid hormone precursor is thyroglobulin (TG), which is iodinated on tyrosine residues. A fraction of these residues is coupled to form T_4, which is deiodin...

Many enzymes [1–10] successfully catalyse the oxidation of alkanes, even the most inert ones such as methane. The precise architecture of their active site allows such catalytic properties. Such an active site contains a dinuclear iron core, in which μ_2-O or μ_2-OH bridging is observed. The environment in which the ac...

Anomalous properties of the magnetization, the crystal dilatation, and other physical quantities observed in the mixed state of compounds such as UPd_2Al_3 and CeRu_2 suggest the occurrence of a new state near H _ c 2. In such compounds with large spin susceptibility and high H _ c 2, a new inhomogeneous superconductin...

The operator formalism of quantum mechanics is applied to the problem of reflection and transmission of non-relativistic spin particles at stratified media. Two basic numerical methods in optics of stratified media, the matrix method of Abeles and the formalism of Airy, have been thus generalized for non-relativistic s...

We discuss some of the unusual characteristics of a Fermi superfluid formed by Cooper pairing in a system, such as spin-polarized ^6Li, which possesses triple nuclear spin degeneracy. In particular we show (a) that the “ naive” BCS expression for the transition temperature is (unlike in the usual spin-1/2 case) exact i...

A general configuration interaction (CI) algorithm incorporating one- and two-electron spin-orbit operators is presented.

The major attraction of fast-spin-echo (FSE) imaging is reduced acquisition time; however, careful review of the literature reveals many weaknesses: phase-encoded blurring, truncation artefact, bright fat signal, reduced magnetic susceptibility and increased motion artefact. Our aim was a prospective, blinded compariso...

Relativistic effects strongly influence the nuclear quadrupole coupling of atoms, molecules or solids. As first shown by Casimir in 1936, in the atomic or single-centre case, for the two states j = l ± s , three radial electric-field-gradient (EFG) integrals, R _++, R _+−, and R , must be introduced. The relativistic c...
