Beta factor or β is term used in the geology of extensional regimes. A basin is a form of extensional regime. β is the amount of extension that took place, and can either be determined through reconstruction of the faults or by the equation t0/t1 where t0 is the initial crust thickness and t1 the final crust thickness

What is the difference between amyloid beta protein and tau protein?

== == Amyloid beta (AB) protein is produced from the cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP: a transmembrane protein) by beta secretase and gamma secretase. The build up of this intact AB protein leads to formation of amyloid plaques. Tau is a group of microtubule associated proteins which contributes to the assembly and stabilization of microtubules in axons. However, hyperphosphorylation of tau leads to tau aggregation and formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). Intracellular NFT and extracellular amyloid plaques are two pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease.


A patient receives 4.2x10 to the 3rd powe mrads of iodine 131 which emits beta particles if the factor that adjusts for biological damage is 1 for beta particles how many rems did the patient receive?

4.20E+03 mrads = 4,200 mrads. 4.2 rads = 4.2 rems.


Why is the energy yield lower when a unsaturated fatty acid has undergone beta oxidation?

Because in the first reaction of beta oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids a trans double bound is formed from cis-double bound by an izomerase without formation of FADH2. Thus the first oxidation step is skiped and hence less energy yield.


How many protons will uranium have after releasing a beta particle?

It depends on whether the beta decay sequence is beta- or beta+. In beta-, the atom will gain a proton, changing into neptunium. In beta+, the atom will lose a proton, changing into protactinium.

In diazotization beta naphthol used?

Actually beta naphthol is not used in diazotization.It is used to confirm the formation of diazonium salt.Because the diazonium salt so formed undergo the COUPLING REACTION with beta naphthol to form a ORANGE DYE or DYESTUFF. eg. aniline with HCl and Sodium Nitrite followed by the treatment with beta naphthol in NaOH at 0-5 degree celcius forms Phenyl azo-beta naphthol(orange).
