In the 20th century, Russian biomedical science experienced a decline from the blossom of the early years to a drastic state. Through the first decades of the USSR, it was transformed to suit the ideological requirements of a totalitarian state and biased directives of communist leaders. Later, depressing economic conditions and isolation from the international research community further impede...

Football, also known as soccer, is the world's most popular sport, which involves multiple factors that consist of physiological, technical, tactical, mental and physical components. The technical skills involved in game are juggling, speed dribbling, passing, shooting heading. Repetitive impacts head to ball have been shown result potential overload mechanism during game. injuries heading high...

Clinical dermatology cases are presented as images and semi-structured text describing skin lesions and their relationships to disease. Metadata assignment to such cases is hampered by lack of a standardized dermatology vocabulary and facilitated methods for indexing legacy collections. In this pilot study descriptive clinical text from Dermatlas, a Web-based repository of dermatology cases, wa...

We present a simple yet effective method, without the need for any additional recording of intensity maps or tremendous iterative computations, to recover reference-wave intensity resulting from the complex hologram acquired by quadrature phase-shifting holography. This is achieved by utilizing a certain area of interest in the complex hologram. We select a particular area in the complex hologr...

The O2 affinity of fiSH chains is lowered by H+, inositol hexaphosphate (IHP), and COz. As the oxygen affinity of gSH monomers (flISH) is lower than that of fiSH tetramers (@dSH), it is possible that IHP and CO2 exert their influence on the Oz affinity of PSH chains by increasing the dissociation constant of +3dsH rather than by a direct effect on the molecule. In order to test for this hypothe...

With the larger penetration of variable renewable energy resources, the role of energy storage in the power system is becoming increasingly important. The flexibility of operation of hydro and pumped-storage power plants and the variety of ancillary services that they provide to the grid enable better utilization of variable renewable resources and more efficient and reliable operation of the e...
