The increased surface area-to-volume ratio of nanoparticles, quantum size effects and the ability to tune surface properties through molecular modification make nanostructures ideal for environmental remediation. The present piece of work reports the preparation and characterization of nano cellulosic fibers (NCFs) with further polymeric reinforcement using vinyl sulphonic acid for the remediat...

We explore an embryonic heart model that couples electrophysiology and muscle-force generation to flow induced using a 2D fluid-structure interaction framework based on the immersed boundary method. The propagation of action potentials are coupled to muscular contraction and hence the overall pumping dynamics. In comparison to previous models, the electro-dynamical model does not use prescribed...

We present a pumping lemma for the class of collapsible pushdown graphs of level 2. This pumping lemma even applies to the ε-contractions of level 2 collapsible pushdown graphs. Our pumping lemma also improves the bounds of Hayashi’s pumping lemma for indexed languages. 1998 ACM Subject Classification F.1.1 Models of Computation

the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a computer - based training program of attention, memory and executive functions in enhancing neuropsychological performances as well as functional outcome in clients with schizophrenia.a total of 15 clinically stable out patients with diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (dsm-iv-tr) criteria for schizophrenia, diagnosed wit...

Riparian municipal wells, that are located on riverbanks, are specifically designed to capture a portion of the river water through induced infiltration. Runoff from agricultural watersheds is found to carry enormous amounts of pesticides and nitrate. While the risk of contamination for a vast majority of sites with small-capacity vertical wells is low, potential exists for medium to large capa...

A variety of techniques for environmental remediation have been compiled and summarized. The paper is intended to provide an overview of remediation methods currently utilized at various hazardous waste sites. Specific examples of method application are given when possible and references for each technique are provided should more detailed information be desired. Remediation methods, categorize...

This paper presents a system that detects unknown malware in user PCs, and automatically creates tools that restore the PCs to the pre-infection states. This system incorporates with dynamic malware analysis systems to detect malware, and creates remediation tools based on the analysis reports. Using the behavior information in the reports, the remediation tools not only delete the malware, but...

We study nonadiabatic two-parameter charge and spin pumping through a single-level quantum dot with Coulomb interaction. For the limit of weak tunnel coupling and in the regime of pumping frequencies up to the tunneling rates, Omega less, similar Gamma/variant Planck's over 2pi, we perform an exact resummation of contributions of all orders in the pumping frequency. As striking nonadiabatic sig...

INTRODUCTION Intra-aortic balloon pumping is used in elective percutaneous coronary intervention for increasing coronary blood flow. However, intra-aortic balloon pumping may decrease visceral blood flow and cause mesenteric ischemia by visceral artery obstruction. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 79-year-old Asian man in whom elective percutaneous coronary intervention was performed...
