Nanosheet-derived Hx(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O₂ was prepared by restacking (Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O₂ nanosheets with large or small lateral sizes and their electrochemical properties in a 1 M KOH aqueous solution; microstructural factors were compared with those of bulk Hx(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O₂ (HNCM). The electrodes composed of small nanosheets exhibited very large capacitances of 1241 F·g-1 (395 mAh·g-1) at a...

Histiocytosis X (HX) is a rare disease. There are many questions and debates in its etiology, pathology, clinical type and therapy. To enhance the recognition of otolaryngologists in HX of the ear and temporal bone and the level of diagnosis and therapy, 30 years' results of 21 patients with HX of the ear and temporal bone proved by histiopathology were reviewed, 18 patients were cured (85%), 6...

This article introduces various Boolean operators which are used in discussing the properties and stability of a 2's complement circuit. We present the deenitions and related theorems for the following logical operators which include negative input/output: 'and2a', 'or2a', 'xor2a' and 'nand2a', 'nor2a', etc. We formalize the concept of a 2's complement circuit, deene the structures of comple-me...

For the development of new orthodontic elastic material, 1-butanol was added to PEMA-TA/HX resin. In the present study, basic experiments to reveal the mechanical properties of the materials were conducted. FT-IR spectroscopy showed that addition of 1-butanol did not cause any chemical changes to the PEMA-TA/HX resin. After addition of 1-butanol to PEMA-TA/HX resin, the modulus of elasticity, i...

We will need a general fact relating intersection products and the diagonal. The setup is as follows: Let X ρ −→ S be a (locally trivial) fiber bundle, where X and S are oriented smooth manifolds, and the fibers are compact ndimensional manifolds. (In our application, S will be an approximation space for BG.) Then we have a Gysin map ρ∗ : H X → H S. Assume HX is a free module over HS, and let {...

A biholomorphically invariant real function hx is defined for a hyperbolic manifold X. Properties of such functions are studied. These properties are applied to prove the following theorem. If a hyperbolic manifold X can be exhausted by biholomorphic images of a strictly pseudoconvex domain D C C" with dD G C3, then X is biholomorphically equivalent either to D or to the unit ball in C". The pr...

BACKGROUND Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteremia is a morbid infection. First-line MSSA therapies (nafcillin, oxacillin, cefazolin) are generally avoided in the 10% of patients reporting penicillin (PCN) allergy, but most of these patients are not truly allergic. We used a decision tree with sensitivity analyses to determine the optimal evaluation and treatment for patie...

25 Previously we reported a pronounced reduction in transmission through surviving axons 26 contralateral to chronic hemisection (HX) of adult rat spinal cord. To examine the cellular 27 and molecular mechanisms responsible for this diminished transmission, we recorded 28 intracellularly from lumbar lateral white matter axons in deeply anesthetized adult rats in 29 vivo and measured the propaga...

Recently, we developed a simple analytical model based on local residue packing densities and the distribution of tertiary contacts for describing the conformational fluctuations of proteins in their folded state. This so-called Gaussian network model (GNM) is applied here to the interpretation of experimental hydrogen exchange (HX) behavior of proteins in their native state or under weakly den...
