On March 20, 2006, researchers from around the world gathered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for a two-day workshop on atomistic-to-continuum (AtC) coupling analysis. The Computer Science Research Institute at Sandia National Laboratories sponsored the workshop, which was organized by Claude Le Bris (École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées), Jacob Fish (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute), and Pavel ...

Our study performed upon an extended series of 28 compounds of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives that demonstrate substantial in vitro antimicrobial activities by serial plate dilution method, using quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) methods that imply analysis of correlations and multiple linear regression (MLR); a significant collection of molecular descriptors was used e.g., Edge a...

background: the number of malaria cases is declining worldwide; however, it remains as a serious health problem. diagnosing unusual cases is the most im­portant issue to manage the problem. this study designed to describe the number of falciparum and vivax malaria infected patients referred to malaria reference labora­tory in tehran university of medical science from 2000 to 2012. methods: a re...

Advancing Molecular Imaging from the Laboratory to Everyday Practice I n June 2006, SNM launched its Bench to Bedside Campaign to raise funds to support the translation of molecular imaging (MI) into clinical practice and to transform SNM into a broad-based MI society. The SNM Molecular Imaging Center of Excellence (MICoE) was charged with implementing the SNM strategic plan, establishing speci...

The applicability was investigated of automated spectrophotometric heparin assays and three clotting assays for determination of two low molecular weight (LMW) heparin fractions: Org 10172 and DxN10 and two infractionated commercially available heparins. The relative activity of the two commercially available heparins was similar in the anti-Xa assay, in the anti-IIa assay and in 3 clotting ass...

Welcome to this special issue of Seminars in Thrombosis & Hemostasis. Characteristically, each issue of Seminars in Thrombosis & Hemostasis is theme driven, with each new issue devoted to a particular theme of relevance to thrombosis and hemostasis. The current issue of Seminars in Thrombosis & Hemostasis carries the theme of “Rare Bleeding Disorders” (RBDs) and is an update on a previous issue...

Despite the recent progress toward meeting the Millennium Development Goal target to halt and to reverse the tuberculosis epidemic by 2015, the global burden of tuberculosis remains significant. In 2012, there were an estimated 8.6 million new cases of tuberculosis and 1.3 million died from the disease—5 deaths every 2 minutes! Among these deaths, an estimated 170 000 were caused by multidrug-r...

Experimental simulations of the initial steps of the ion-molecule reactions occurring in the ionosphere of Titan were performed at the synchrotron source Elettra in Italy. The measurements consisted of irradiating gas mixtures with a monochromatic photon beam, from the methane ionization threshold at 12.6 eV, up to and beyond the molecular nitrogen dissociative ionization threshold at 24.3 eV. ...
