INTRODUCTION Animal pericardial patches are widely used in adult and pediatric cardiac surgery. A search is ongoing for a new material with optimal surgical properties that will reduce intraoperative bleeding and the occurrence of restenosis, calcification, and pseudoaneurysms in long-term observation. One product of interest is the CardioCel bovine pericardial patch. AIM Evaluation of the sh...

The northern latitudes have warmed by about 0.8 C since the early 1970s, but not all areas have warmed equally. Eurasia shows an overall warming trend, while North America exhibits warming at a lower rate and even a slight cooling trend during the last 50 years in the Eastern USA. We analyzed a recently developed satellite normalized di erence vegetation index (NDVI) data set (July 1981 to Dece...

Protein mechanosensitive channels (MS) are activated by tension transmitted through the lipid bilayer. We propose a theory of lateral stress relaxation in a bilayer lipid membrane exposed to external pressure pulse in the patch-clamp experimental setting. It is shown that transfer of lipid molecules into a strained region is thermodynamically advantageous due to local decrease of the stress. Co...

Spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) is believed to be important for neural communication and in human episodic memory, but causal evidence lacking due technical challenges. Rhythmic sensory stimulation that has been used investigate relations between oscillations cognition may able address this question. The challenge, however, the frequency corresponding critical time window STDP gamma (~...

wetlands in the lower reaches of songhua river (lrsr), northeast china, are rich in biodiversityand natural resources, which provide crucial staging and wintering habitats for various endangered species.however, in the past five decades, the size of this wetland area has decreased, and its quality has deteriorated because of increased natural and human activities. wetland restoration is critica...
