We address the nature of giant clumps in high-z galaxies that undergo Violent Disc Instability, attempting to distinguish between long-lived migrate inward and short-lived disrupt by feedback. study evolution as they through disc using an analytic model tested simulations confront theory with CANDELS observations. The clump ``bathtub" model, which considers gas stellar gain loss, is characteriz...

In developing countries, biogas energy production is seen as a technology that can provide clean energy in poor regions and reduce pollution caused by animal manure. Laboratories in these countries have little access to advanced gas measuring equipment, which may limit research aimed at improving local adapted biogas production. They may also be unable to produce valid estimates of an internati...

BACKGROUND To investigate the association between severity of acute kidney injury (AKI) and outcome, systemic inflammatory phenotype and HLA genotype in severe sepsis. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Prospective multicenter observational study done in 4 intensive care units in two university hospitals. Severe sepsis and septic shock patients with at least 2 organ failures based on the SOFA sco...

Background: Obesity seems to be a critical issue nowadays because of its high prevalence and adverse effects on health. There is some evidence indicating the relationship between obesity lower serum 25- hydroxyvitamin D concentration. Objectives: The objectives this study were assess vitamin status estimate response in obese non-obese children after supplementation. Methods: This was Quasi expe...

Abstract This paper summarizes recent research into current terrestrial laser scanners undertaken by the HafenCity University Hamburg and gives an assessment of geodetic accuracy latest generation scanners. Three separate independent test methods are presented to investigate geometric under laboratory conditions: (a) distance measurement b/w targets spheres on 20-m comparator track, (b) compari...

Abstract Background Mepolizumab (MPZ), an anti-interleukin-5 antibody, is effective for the treatment of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). However, its effectiveness has not been adequately evaluated in real-world clinical practice. In this study, we assessed and safety MPZ (300 mg) relapsing/refractory EGPA resistant to corticosteroids (CS) 1 year settings. Methods We admin...

In a recent paper, Vortmcycr and Haidegger (1881) prcsented a comparison of thm models to evaluate heat iluxes fur wall-cooled fixed-bed chemical rtaEtvrs. We have the following comments about this mper. Vortmeya and Haidegger used the fast exothermic oxidation of etbane to test three (quasi-) homogeneous m&Is. They concluded that the wall ks c~tducri~~mcdel WBS the best thaw of kttcr agreement...

PURPOSE To quantitatively evaluate the retinal microvasculature in human subjects with retinal venous occlusions (RVO) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). DESIGN Retrospective, cross-sectional, observational case series. PARTICIPANTS Sixty subjects (84 eyes) were included (20 BRVO, 14 CRVO, 24 unaffected fellow eyes, and 26 controls). METHODS OCTA was performed on a pro...
