As the largest energy consumer, China is facing greater pressure to guarantee energy supply and energy security. Investigating the driving factors of energy consumption is very important. Decomposition analysis is an analytical tool for decomposing an aggregate indicator into its contributing factors. This paper introduces index decomposition analysis (IDA) into production decomposition analysi...

Pain is a complex experience with sensory, emotional and cognitive aspects. It also includes a sympathetic response that can be captured by measuring the electrodermal activity (EDA). The present study was performed to investigate which brain areas are associated with sympathetic activation in experimental pain; an issue that has not been addressed with fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imagi...

OBJECTIVE Thoracic aortic aneurysm is a common complication in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). Alternatively spliced extra domain A (EDA) of fibronectin (FN) has an essential role in tissue repair. Here we analyze the expression of FN spliceforms in dilated and nondilated ascending aorta of tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) and BAV patients. METHODS AND RESULTS The mRNA expression was a...

Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (EDA) is a rare X-linked recessive disorder characterized by the absence or hypoplasia of hair, teeth and sweat glands. The gene responsible for the disorder has recently been cloned. The predicted gene product is a 135 amino acid protein with no significant homology to previously known proteins. As a first step to analyze function, we have studied the subcellula...

Objective. To observe the protective effect of edaravone (Eda) on astrocytes after prolonged exposure to carbon monoxide (CO) and further to investigate the potential mechanisms of Eda against CO-induced apoptosis. Methods. The rat primary cultured astrocytes were cultured in vitro and exposed to 1% CO for 24 h after being cultured with different concentrations of Eda. MTT assay was used to det...

X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED) caused by variants in the EDA gene represents the most common ectodermal dysplasia in humans. We investigated three male mixed-breed dogs with an ectodermal dysplasia phenotype characterized by marked hypotrichosis and multifocal complete alopecia, almost complete absence of sweat and sebaceous glands, and altered dentition with missing and abn...

in this paper, through use of index decomposition analysis (ida (and the logarithmic mean divisia index (lmdi) technique, changes in co2 emissions at the macroeconomic and sectoral levels have been studied for the time period 1346-1385 in eight sub-periods of five year intervals and for the time period 1383-1387 in two three-years sub-period intervals. the results show that changes in per capit...

Design automation of electronic systems [electronic design automation (EDA)] is the engineering science that derives software and hardware tools for the design of integrated circuits and systems based on abstraction, design methodologies, and software implementations of sophisticated algorithms for verification and synthesis. What makes EDA unique is the continuous interplay between theory and ...

Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) logic is a promising technology to supersede Complementary metal-oxidesemiconductor (CMOS) in some specialized areas due providing ultra-fast and energy-efficient circuits. To realize large-scale integration design, electronic design automation (EDA) tools for RSFQ are required the divergences type, timing constraints, circuit structure compared with CMOS logic....
