BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Future aneurysmal behaviors or treatment outcomes of cerebral aneurysms may be related to the hemodynamics around the inflow zone. Here we investigated the influence of parent artery curvature on the inflow zone location of unruptured sidewall internal carotid artery aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 32 aneurysms, the inflow zone location was decided by 4D flow MR ima...

Introduction: Micrometeorites (MMs) are large (>25 µm) interplanetary dust particles that survive atmospheric entry to be recovered from the Earth's surface. Amongst those particles that escaped significant heating during atmospheric entry two groups have been identified [1]: (i) fine-grained MMs (fgMMs), which are similar to the fine-grained matrices of hy-drated carbonaceous chondrites (CCs),...

The aim of this research was to investigate the influence of metallurgy on the corrosion behaviour of separate weld zone (WZ) and parent plate (PP) regions of X65 pipeline steel in a solution of deionised water saturated with CO2, at two different temperatures (55 °C and 80 °C) and at initial pH~4.0. In addition, a non-electrochemical immersion experiment was also performed at 80 °C in CO2, on ...

BACKGROUND Autism affects as many as 1 in 88 children. Best practices recommend early identification and intervention for optimal outcomes. Currently, a gap exists between time of first concern and diagnosis, particularly for families living in rural areas. Telemedicine as a tool for assessment and diagnosis of autism is one way to address this disparity. Emerging evidence suggests telemedicine...

BACKGROUND This study tested model-driven predictions regarding working memory's role in the organizational problems associated with ADHD. METHOD Children aged 8-13 (M = 10.33, SD = 1.42) with and without ADHD (N = 103; 39 girls; 73% Caucasian/Non-Hispanic) were assessed on multiple, counterbalanced working memory tasks. Parents and teachers completed norm-referenced measures of organizationa...

INTRODUCTION The aims of this study were to evaluate levels of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and the presence of anxiety and depressive symptoms in children with primary immunodeficiency disease (PID) in Serbia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Self- and parent-rated data from 25 children with PID were available. As controls, data from 50 children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and 89...

We report synthetic protocols and guiding principles inspired by mechanistic considerations for the synthesis of crystalline microporous solids via interzeolite transformations that avoid direct intervention by organic structure-directing agents. These protocols are specifically implemented to synthesize highsilica MFI (ZSM-5), CHA (chabazite), STF (SSZ-35), and MTW (ZSM-12) zeolites from FAU (...

although inter-variety variability for salt tolerance has been reported in bread wheat plants, little information is available on the genetic control of ion contents and biomass yield under saline conditions. a diallel cross, including reciprocals of two salt tolerant, two moderately tolerant and two sensitive iranian and exotic bread wheat varieties, was analyzed to investigate the inheritance...
