We present density functional theory calculations of the geometry, adsorption energy and electronic structure of thiophene adsorbed on Cu(111), Cu(110) and Cu(100) surfaces. Our calculations employ dispersion corrections and self-consistent van der Waals density functionals (vdW-DFs). In terms of speed and accuracy, we find that the dispersion-energy-corrected Revised Perdue-Burke-Enzerhof (RPB...

The revised simplex method is often the method of choice when solving large scale sparse linear programming problems, particularly when a family of closely-related problems is to be solved. Each iteration of the revised simplex method requires the solution of two linear systems and a matrix vector product. For a significant number of practical problems the result of one or more of these operati...

OBJECTIVES Negative affects like depression, anxiety and stress are frequently observed in patients with fibromyalgia (FMS). Understanding the association between FMS and negative affects is likely to help in deciding the choice of treatment. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between the severity of FMS with the severity of depression, anxiety and stress. METHODS Sixty pa...

Abstract Introduction Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is the best diagnostic tool for evaluating thyroid nodules pre-operatively. The Bethesda System Reporting Thyroid Cyto-pathology (TBSRTC) in America and THY classification Europe are standardized reporting systems FNAC specimens using six categories. As compared to first edition 2009, a second of TBSRTC published 2017 has revised risk...

Autoantibodies against factor VIII (FVIII) are rare but can cause life-threatening bleeding requiring costly factor replacement and prolonged immunosuppression. We report 4 consecutively treated patients whose acquired FVIII inhibitors responded rapidly to immunosuppressive regimens that included rituximab, a monoclonal antibody against CD20(+) B cells. Three patients had spontaneously occurrin...
