Introduction Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common arthritis disease of childhood and is an important cause of disability. Methotrexate (MTX) is the mainstay treatment in JIA. Unfortunately, 30-35% of patients fail to respond MTX, and the delay in identifying the optimal treatment at an early stage of disease can lead to longterm joint damage. Recent studies have evaluated comp...

Abstract The multi-machine International Tokamak Physics Activity (ITPA) Global H-mode Confinement Database has been upgraded with new data from JET the ITER-like wall and ASDEX Upgrade full tungsten wall. This paper describes database presents results of regression analysis to estimate global energy confinement scaling in plasmas using a standard power law. Various subsets are considered, focu...

Single wall nanotubes have been demonstrated to have remarkable physical properties: Youngs Modulus of >ITPa; breaking strength of 100 G ~ and metallic conductivity. The most perfect examples of them have been produce~ via laser ablation or arc-discharge processes [1,2]. These processes are characterized by theft low productivity, of the order of grams per day per unit, and they are generally a...
