This is a post-hoc analysis of the results Lutonix AV Global Registry (outside United Sates) focusing exclusively on arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) with inclusion criteria consistent to those IDE trial from States. Device under investigation was drug-coated balloon (DCB). 131 320 subjects met for in analysis. 59.5% (78/131) were male. 50.5% white and 45.7% Asian population. Among exploratory out...

This paper investigates the role of material properties on crack path selection in adhesively bonded joints. First, a parametric study of directionally unstable crack propagation in adhesively bonded double cantilever beam specimens (DCB) is presented. The alternating crack trajectories in specimens of various material systems are simulated using the finite element method and the results indica...

Caspase activation has been shown to be a critical step in several models of neuronal apoptosis such as staurosporine treatment of human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells and potassium deprivation of rat cerebellar granule neurons. One common event is the appearance of caspase-mediated 120-kDa nonerythroid alpha-spectrin breakdown product (SBDP120). Second, inhibitors of the caspase family are effect...

BeiDou Global Navigation Satellite System (BDS-3) broadcasts multifrequency signals that offer more choices of frequencies and signal combinations for positioning. This paper analyzes the effect timing group delay (TGD) differential code bias (DCB) BDS-3 on corresponding triple-frequency The observation models are summarized DCB correction derived four different frequency ionospheric-free (IF) ...

The successful in situ synthesis of metallophthalocyanines in mesoporous matrices is presented in this report. To overcome the high hydrophobicity of phthalocyanine (Pc) compounds in conventional wet chemical methods, a simple but effective route is developed to incorporate the metallophthalocyanines into the mesoporous matrix via an in situ reaction process between pre-loaded metal ions and 1,...

We present a non-dimensional analytical model for crack propagation in a z-pinned double cantilever beam specimen (DCB) under mode I loading. Effect of various design parameters on the crack bridging length and apparent fracture toughness are investigated using this model. The efficacy of the analytical model is evaluated by comparing the results with 3D finite element (FE) simulations of the D...

A new series of 12 complexes of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) with N-isonicotinamido-2',4'-dichlorobenzalaldimine (INH-DCB) with the general composition MX(2) . n(INH-DCB) [M = Co(II) or Ni(II), X = Cl(-) ,Br(-), NO(3) (-), NCS(-), or CH(3)COO(-), n = 2; X = ClO(4) (-), n = 3] have been synthesized. The nature of bonding and the stereochemistry of the complexes have been deduced from elemental anal...

Adhesive bonding community shows a continued interest in using bridging mechanisms to toughen the interface of secondary bonded joints, especially case laminated composites. Due snap-back instability that occurs during fracture, confusions may exist when identifying toughening effect experimentally. The true be overestimated by lumping all energy contributions (kinetic included) an overall effe...

Abstract The Devonian/Carboniferous Boundary (DCB) interval is associated with mass extinction, isotope excursions and a short glacial episode. This study investigates how boundary extinction environmental change expressed in the high-palaeolatitudinal record of Bolivian Altiplano (western Gondwana). A latest Devonian early Carboniferous section has been investigated using sedimentology, palyno...
