Abstract Introduction Advanced heart failure (AHF) is characterized by repeated episodes of hemodynamic instability, frequent hospitalizations with progressive reduction in quality life. The aim the study was to verify a small group patients, no longer susceptible transplantation (HT) and left ventricular assistance (LVAD), effectiveness monthly treatment Levosimendan for period at least 6 mont...

this paper describes a series of laboratory model tests on strip footings supported on unreinforced and geogrid-reinforced sand with an inside void. the footing is subjected to a combination of static and cyclic loading. the influence of various parameters including the embedment depth of the void, the number of reinforcement layers, and the amplitude of cyclic load were studied. the results sh...

The performance failure and reliability of motion mechanism has a significant effect on industry reliability, operation safety production economy. Motion precise is one the typical indicators especially for with multibody joints. Size joint clearance degenerates usage such as wear deformation. Repeated start-stop lead to impact stress plastic deformation particularly high load long working cycl...

1 The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of motivating and 2 oudeterous (neither motivating nor demotivating) synchronous music on 400-metre 3 sprint performance while controlling for the potential confound of pre-performance 4 mood. A panel of volunteer Caucasian males (n = 20; mean age = 20.5, s = 1.2 years) 5 rated the motivational qualities of 32 musical selections usin...

This is the first report implementing combined density gradient centrifugation/Zeta (DGC/Zeta) sperm selection procedure for a couple with eleven previous intra cytoplasmic sperm injection/ in vitro fertilization (ICSI/IVF) failure cycles. Semen analysis was carried out according to World Health Organization criteria. Protamine deficiency, DNA fragmentation and morphology were assessed by chrom...
