Vaginal wet mount showing slings of pseudohyphae of Candida albicans surrounded by round vaginal epithelial cells, conferring a diagnosis of candidal vulvovaginitis.. A vaginal wet mount (or vaginal smear [1] or wet prep [2]) is a gynecologic test wherein a sample of vaginal discharge is observed by wet mount microscopy by placing the specimen on a glass slide and mixing with a salt solution.

In particle physics, the Pontecorvo–Maki–Nakagawa–Sakata matrix (PMNS matrix), Maki–Nakagawa–Sakata matrix (MNS matrix), lepton mixing matrix, or neutrino mixing matrix is a unitary [a] mixing matrix that contains information on the mismatch of quantum states of neutrinos when they propagate freely and when they take part in weak interactions.
Tribimaximal mixing [1] is a specific postulated form for the Pontecorvo–Maki–Nakagawa–Sakata (PMNS) lepton mixing matrix U.Tribimaximal mixing is defined by a particular choice of the matrix of moduli-squared of the elements of the PMNS matrix as follows:
θ pmns 13 ≈ 9° which is clearly smaller, at about 1 / 4 ~ 1 / 3 × the size, [ 2 ] and with the quark mixing angles in the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa matrix U CKM . The disparity that nature indicates between quark and lepton mixing angles has been viewed in terms of a "quark–lepton complementarity" which can be ...
In analytical chemistry, sample preparation (working-up) refers to the ways in which a sample is treated prior to its analyses. Preparation is a very important step in most analytical techniques, because the techniques are often not responsive to the analyte in its in-situ form, or the results are distorted by interfering species .
Many PSMs have cytolytic activity and play a major role in the nonspecific lysing of host cells, including Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes (PMNs). [2] Lysis is carried out by integration of PSMs into membranes, in a nonspecific fashion, which results in disruption of the membrane. [2] Different PSMs are able to lyse cells with different affinities.
The Wilfley Table became a design used world-wide due to the fact it significantly increased the recovery of silver, gold and other precious metals. [3] Such was the table's widespread use that it was included in Webster's Dictionary, [4] and has been in constant use by miners and metallurgists since its invention. [5]
The standard definition of a left shift is an absolute band form count greater than 7700/microL. [3] There are competing explanations for the origin of the phrase "left shift," including the left-most button arrangement of early cell sorting machines [4] [5] and a 1920s publication by Josef Arneth, containing a graph in which immature neutrophils, with fewer segments, shifted the median left.
