BACKGROUND AND AIMS It is well known that the interaction between platelets (PLTs), endothelial cells, and leukocytes contributes to thrombosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome. The aim of this study was to investigate the significance of PLTs and eosinophils (EOS) in coronary arterial thrombi. METHODS PLT count, mean PLT volume, PLT mass, EOS count, EOS percentage, and troponin I lev...

This Note investigates the approximation of phase change in compressible fluids with complex equation of state (EOS). Assuming a local and instantaneous equilibrium with respect to phasic pressures, temperatures and chemical potentials when both phases are present leads to the classical definition of an equilibrium EOS for the two-phase medium. Unfortunately, there is no explicit expression of ...

  Background: This study has aimed to measure the patient dose in entire spine radiography by EOS system in comparison with the digital radiography. Methods: EOS stereo-radiography was used for frontal and lateral view spine imaging in 41 patients in a prospective analytical study. A calibrated dose area product (DAP) meter was used for calibration of the DAP in EOS system. The accuracy and pr...

[1] We present and demonstrate a new methodology for retrieving liquid water path over land using satellite-based microwave observations. As input, the technique exploits Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS (AMSR-E) brightness temperature polarization-difference signals at 37 and 89 GHz. Regression analysis performed on model simulations indicates that over variable atmospheric and s...

A new isothermal equation of state (EOS) for solids is derived by starting from the theory of lattice potential and using an analytical function for the volume dependence of the short-range force constant. A critical analysis of the isothermal EOSs: Murnaghan EOS, Vinet EOS, and the new EOS derived here, is presented by investigating the pressure-volume data for rare gas solids, metals and mine...

Radar cloud-top heights were retrieved at both the Chilbolton Facility for Atmospheric and Radio Research, UK (CFARR) and the ARM Southern Great Plain site, USA (SGP), using millimetre wave cloud radars and identical algorithms. The resulting cloud-top heights were used for comparison with MODIS and MISR retrieved cloud-top heights, from March 2000 to October 2003. Both imaging instruments resi...

In this paper, we proposed Evolutionary Organizational Search (EOS), an optimization method for the organizational control of multi-agent systems (MASs) based on genetic programming (GP). EOS adds to the existing armory a metaheuristic extension, which is capable of efficient search and less vulnerable to stalling at local optima than greedy methods due to its stochastic nature. EOS employs a f...

Association of the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT) with the pathogenesis of allergic asthma is well recognized and its role as a chemoattractant for eosinophils (Eos) in vitro and in vivo has been previously demonstrated. Here we have examined the regulation of 5-HT-induced human and murine Eos trafficking and migration at a cellular and molecular level. Eos from allergic donors and bone marr...
