Home economics, as a field of scientific research and practice that aims to improve quality life, does not get the attention in twenty-first century it should. When thinking this subject, one might picture middle school students learning how sew or attempting cook an ill-fated meal, but late nineteenth through most twentieth century, home economics was thriving provided area for women contribut...

We develop two new methods of constructing sequences manifolds with positive scalar curvature that converge in the Gromov-Hausdorff and Intrinsic Flat sense to limit spaces "pulled regions". The examples created rigorously within using these were announced by us a few years ago have influenced statements some Gromov's conjectures concerning curvature. Both extend notion "sewing along curve" dev...

We put forward the low-energy confining asymptote of the solution < WC > (valid for large macroscopic contours C of the size >> 1/ΛQCD ) to the large N Loop equation in the D = 4 U(N) Yang-Mills theory with the asymptotic freedom in the ultraviolet domain. Adapting the multiscale decomposition characteristic of the Wilsonean renormgroup, the proposed Ansatz for the loop-average is composed in o...

Surgical therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation has undergone significant advances over the past 30 years. The Cox Maze III technique is currently the gold standard of care for these patients. However, Maze IV, a less complex procedure using alternative energy sources, is rapidly replacing the Cox Maze III in clinical practice. The use of alternative energy sources such as cryothermy and...

http://www.aasp.org/shap/issues/v5n5/index.html he earliest efforts to use early weaning and segregation technologies to obtain pathogen-free piglets were attempted in the early 1980s.1 Initially, the strategy called for weaning pigs at 5–10 days of age and relying on medication.1,2 Later studies suggested that early weaning without medication could also reduce, but not eliminate, the impact of...

We report the case of a 65year old female patient who was urgently admitted to our institution with hemothorax after pacemaker implantation. The bichamber pacemaker had been implanted one week before admission and the active fixation lead caused perforation of the right atrial wall and penetration of the right lung. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a minimal cardiac effusion but ches...

Advances in surgery for atrial fibrillation from cut and sew technique to thoracoscopy and new energy source have enabled minimally invasive approach which avoids median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass. However, minimally invasive approach is unable to match the outcome of classic surgical technique due to difficulty in creating some of linear ablation lines. Hybrid procedure using cathet...

Following brain damage, skilled readers may encounter more severe problems in reading nonwords than familiar words, a type of deficit referred to as phonological dyslexia. We report on 2 individuals with Alzheimer's disease who show phonological dyslexia. Although highly accurate in reading familiar words aloud (even those with irregular spelling, such as sew), they were quite impaired in nonwo...

Atrial fibrillation is the most comon arrhythmia in worldwide. Stroke risk in AF is 5-fold higher than sinus rhythm. The left atrial appendage is the most important source of atrial emboli. The standard surgical “cut-and-sew” Cox-maze III procedure is the golden choice for surgical treatment of any type of atrial fibrillation, with success rate higher than 90%. A full bi-atrial lesion pattern m...
