โœฆ Synopsis

This article reviews two aspects of the present research on fundamental constants: their use in a universal and precisely realizable system of units for metrology and the search for a conceivable temporal drift of the constants that may open an experimental window to new physics.

The very low energy (7.6 ยฑ 0.5 eV) of the long-lived isomer state in 229 Th has inspired the idea that the transition between this isomer and the ground state might be used to measure the temporal variation of some fundamental physical constants with great enhanced sensitivity in laboratory.

Tyrosine hydroxylase is the rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of catecholamines. To find variants in the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) gene that are associated with schizophrenia, mood disorders, or alcohol dependence, all of the exons, the exon-intron boundaries, and the 5 promoter region of the T
