Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to explore the capillary wave propagation induced by the competition between one upper precursor film (PF) on the graphene and one lower PF on the substrate in electro-elasto-capillarity (EEC). During the wave propagation, the graphene was gradually delaminated from the substrate by the lower PF. The physics of the capillary wave was explored by t...

During the first half of 1970s, Swedish and Danish new women’s movements campaigned against their respective countries joining European Economic Community (EEC). In doing so, socialist feminist activists in Denmark Sweden were confronted by questions regarding how to navigate international solidarity between women where draw its limits. This article explores these limits examining campaigns EEC...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Previous studies have already reported an independent effect of light-load eccentric exercise (10% eccentric exercise contraction [EEC]) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as a protective measure against more strenuous eccentric exercise. However, the difference between these two interventions is largely unknown. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare the preconditio...

Enthalpy-entropy compensation (EEC) is observed in diverse molecular binding processes of importance to living systems and manufacturing applications, but this widely occurring phenomenon is not sufficiently understood from a molecular physics standpoint. To gain insight into this fundamental problem, we focus on the melting of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) since measurements exhibiting EEC are e...

BACKGROUND There are some fertility-sparing treatments in patients with early endometrial cancer (EEC) or atypical complex hyperplasia (ACH), and the objective is to compare them by evaluating the oncologic and reproductive outcomes. METHODS We searched the published literature using Medline, Cochrane, EMBASE, and Google Scholar databases up to January 3, 2017, with various combinations of ke...

The transcriptional co-activator p63 is of crucial importance for correct development of the limbs, ectodermal appendages (skin, nails, teeth, hair, glands), lip and palate. Mutations in the p63 gene are found in a number of human syndromes, including ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-cleft lip/palate (EEC) syndrome, limb-mammary syndrome (LMS), Hay-Wells syndrome and in non-syndromic split-han...

Electric external cardioversion (EEC) for permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) carries a risk of thromboembolic events (TE). The use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to guide the management of atrial fibrillation may be considered a clinically effective alternative strategy to conventional therapy for patients in whom elective cardioversion is planned. Therapeutic anticoagulation with no...

Both ligand-dependent and ligand-independent activation of estrogen receptor (ER)α is modulated by receptor phosphorylation and results in activation of the ERα-dependent pathways that are involved in endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC) pathogenesis. It is also known that the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/p70 S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) and MAPK/p90 ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK) signaling pathways ...

The small intestine of pigs normally contains mainly transient microbes that include nonenteropathogenic Escherichia coli (NEEC) (Fig. 1A). Peristalsis and the flow of contents, accompanied by mucus moving over the surfaces of the constantly pumping viffi tend to keep this population small. Their numbers do increase slightly during transit through small intestine and dramatically during compara...

In January 1977 the Report of the Committee of Inquiry on Industrial Democracy (Chairman: Lord Bullock) was published [1]. It is notorious that 'industrial democracy' is a phrase to which many different meanings can be attached, but the Committee in its terms of reference was directed to consider only one possible definition: the representation of employees on the boards of directors of the com...
