The possible identification by INTEGRAL of the EGRET source 3EG J1736 − 2908 with the active galactic nucleus GRS 1734−292 is discussed. The latter was discovered in 1990 and later identified with a Seyfert 1 galaxy. At the time of the compilation of the 3rd EGRET Catalog, it was not considered as a possible counterpart of the source 3EG J1736 − 2908, which remained unidentified. A detailed mul...

The archive Electronic Geometry Models is a new electronic journal for the publication of digital geometry models from a broad range of mathematical topics. The geometry models are distinguished constructions, counter examples, or results from elaborate computer experiments. Each submitted model has a self-contained textual description and is peer reviewed, and later reviewed by the Zentralblat...

Results: The EG and LG group had 343 and 430 Rb patients respectively. The incidence of Rb in 1997 and in 2012 was 0.06 and 0.03 per 1,000 live births in Saudi Arabia respectively. The gender distribution was similar. The median age of presentation was 24 (range 11, 39) months in EG vs. 18 (8, 31) months in LG (p <0.001). Incidence of unilateral Rb was 58% [200/343] in EG vs. 56% [278/485] in L...

When Policy Topic is not covered The following genetic and protein biomarkers for the diagnosis of prostate cancer are considered investigational:  Kallikrein markers (eg, 4KscoreTM Test)  Metabolomic profiles (eg, ProstarixTM)  PCA3 testing  TMPRSS fusion genes  Candidate gene panels  Mitochondrial DNA mutation testing (eg, Prostate Core Mitomics TestTM)  Gene hypermethylation testing (...

Neutropenic conditions are prevalent in leukemia patients and are often associated with increased susceptibility to infections. In fact, emergency granulopoiesis (EG), a process regulating neutrophil homeostasis in inflammatory conditions and infections, may occur improperly in leukemic conditions, leading to reduced neutrophil counts. Unfortunately, the mechanisms central to dysfunctional EG r...

Abstract This work aimed at conversion of worthless indurtial wastes to valuable product. Herein, bioactive composites based on bacterial cellulose (BC) and eggshell or eggshell-derived hydroxyapatite (HAp) were prepared by a green method using Gluconacetobacter xylinum bacteria. The effect addition (BC/Eg) HAp (BC/HAp-Eg) the yield, biodegradation biocompatibility was studied. For comparison, ...

BACKGROUND Spontaneous electrical activity (SEA) is a feature of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs), which can either be latent or active. However, SEA at different stages of recovery from MTrPs remains unclear. OBJECTIVE To investigate the temporal changes in the nature of SEA after generation of MTrPs in a rat model. METHODS 32 rats were divided into four groups: 24 rats were assigned to e...

The aims of this study were to compare glycerol (G) at customary concentrations and ethylene glycol (EG) as cryoprotectants for stallion semen in a skimmed milk (SM) extender, to test different EG concentrations and to compare the results of manual and computerized analysis with the hypoosmotic swelling (HOS) test. Ejaculates from two stallions were collected over 3 weeks (6 ejaculates per stal...

Lauric acid (LA) and myristic (MA) were used to prepare a binary eutectic mixture. The expanded graphite (EG) was as the carrier, lauric–myristic acid/expanded (LA–MA/EG) composite phase change material prepared by physical adsorption method. microstructure, chemical structure, thermal properties of LA–MA/EG characterized scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential calorimeter (DSC), Fouri...

In this study unfunctionalized expanded graphite (EG) was incorporated into poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) using twin-screw extrusion and injection moulding to manufacture cost-effective PEEK/EG composites for mass production of high-performance antistatic materials. Direct current electrical conductivity, morphology, rheological thermal properties the were investigated. At an EG loading 5 vol...
