Different advanced nanostructured carbon materials, such as carbon nanocoils, carbon nanofibers, graphitized ordered mesoporous carbons and carbon xerogels, presenting interesting features such as high electrical conductivity and extensively developed porous structure were synthesized and used as supports in the preparation of electrocatalysts for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). The main ad...

Bone is one of the leading sites of metastasis for frequently diagnosed malignancies, including those arising in the breast, prostate and lung. Although these cancers develop unnoticed and are painless in their primary sites, bone metastases result in debilitating pain. Deeper investigation of this pain may reveal etiology and lead to early cancer detection. Cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP) is i...

NERSC is preparing for its next petascale system, named Cori, a Cray XC system based on the Intel KNL MIC architecture. Each Cori node will have 72 cores (288 threads), 512 bit vector units, and a low capacity (16GB) and high bandwidth (~5x DDR4) on-package memory (MCDRAM or HBM). To help applications get ready for Cori, NERSC has developed optimization strategies that focus on the MPI+OpenMP p...

BACKGROUND The assessment of arterial stiffness is increasingly used for evaluating patients with different cardiovascular diseases as the mechanical properties of major arteries are often altered. Aortic stiffness can be noninvasively estimated by measuring pulse wave velocity (PWV). Several methods have been proposed for measuring PWV using velocity-encoded cardiovascular magnetic resonance (...

Carbon-supported Ag nanocatalysts, synthesized at five different electrodeposition potentials ranging from 0.0 to 0.4 V vs. RHE, were successfully prepared by using the rotating disk slurry electrode (RoDSE) technique. This was done determine ideal parameters that facilitate optimal metal loading and particle dispersion for an efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) through 4-e- pathway. In t...

Results The number of patients underwent AVR including combined cardiac procedures was 1005 with semi continuous technique (group 1) and 1110 with interrupted technique (group 2). The hospital mortality was 4.68% in group 1 and 3.96% in group 2. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time and aortic cross clamp (XC) time for isolated AVR was 89 ± 42 (41 – 379) and 63 ± 31 (29 – 258) in group 1, 98 ± 34 (...

To synthesize monodisperse palladium nanoparticles dispersed on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets, we have developed an easy and scalable solvothermal reduction method from an organic solution system. The RGO-supported palladium nanoparticles with a diameter of 3.8 nm are synthesized in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and in the presence of oleylamine and trioctylphosphine, which facilitates sim...
