The solubility of CO2 in the primary, secondary, tertiary and sterically hindered amine aqueous solutions at various conditions was studied. In the present work, the Modified Kent-Eisenberg (M-KE), the Extended Debye-Hückel (E-DH) and the Pitzer models were employed to study the solubility of CO2 in amine aqueous solutions. Two explicit equations are presented to evalu...

OBJECTIVE This study compared the effectiveness and cost/utility ratio between a heart failure (HF) management program delivered by day-hospital (DH) and usual care in chronic heart failure (CHF) outpatients. BACKGROUND Previous studies showed that about 50% of readmissions for CHF can be prevented by a multidisciplinary approach. However, the performance, effectiveness, and cost/utility rati...

Whole-body deep hypothermia (DH) could be a new therapeutic strategy for asphyxiated newborn. This retrospective study describes how DH modified the heart rate and arterial blood pressure if compared to mild hypothermia (MH). Fourteen in DH and 17 in MH were cooled within the first six hours of life and for the following 72 hours. Hypothermia criteria were gestational age ≥36 weeks; birth weigh...

Heat demand is a large contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the European Union (EU), as heat is largely produced using fossil fuel resources. Extended use of district heating (DH) could reduce climate impact, as DH systems can distribute heat produced in efficient combined heat and power (CHP) plants and industrial excess heat, thus utilising heat that would otherwise be wasted. The...

Thoroughbred (TB) and draft horses (DH) have long been selected for tasks of very different intensities and force-speed relationships. To study their adaptations, we measured O2 consumption and related variables in three TB and four DH during progressive exercise tests on a level treadmill. The horses exerted a draft force of 0, 5, 10, 15, or 20% of their body weight at speeds that increased by...

Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is an autoimmunity-driven inflammatory blistering dermatosis associated with a gluten-dependent enteropathy. Tissue transglutaminase (tTG) and nonapeptides of gliadin (npG) are considered in its pathomechanism/diagnostics. Here, the diagnostic accuracy of anti-tTG/anti-npG IgA ELISAs in Slavic DH patients with active skin rash was assessed through creating receiver...

Let n ≥ 2, let K,K′ be fields such that K′ is a quadratic Galoisextension of K and let θ denote the unique nontrivial element in Gal(K′/K). Suppose the symplectic dual polar space DW (2n− 1,K) is fully and isometrically embedded into the Hermitian dual polar space DH(2n − 1,K′, θ). We prove that the projective embedding of DW (2n − 1,K) induced by the Grassmann-embedding of DH(2n − 1,K′, θ) is ...

Closely related words tend to be close together in monolingual language use. This paper suggests that this is different in bilingual language use. The Distance Hypothesis (DH) proposes that long dependency distances between syntactically related units facilitate bilingual code-switching. We test the DH on a 9,023 word German/English and a 19,766 word Chinese/English corpus. Both corpora support...

End-substitution of quarterthiophene and sexithiophene with hexyl groups leads to highly soluble conjugated oligomers, -dihexylquarterthiophene (DH-4T) and -dihexylsexithiophene (DH-6T). We have characterized these oligomers for optical and electrical properties. We fabricated an organic thin film transistor (OTFT) using the above two air-stable p-type organic semiconductor materials. We obtain...
