1 " Thrasymachus conceded all these points, but not in the easygoing way I have just described. He had to be dragged every step of the way, sweating profusely, as you might expect in summer. This was the occasion when I saw something I had never seen before—Thrasymachus blushing. " Plato, Republic 350d For almost two millennia, philosophers were typically also the best social scientists of thei...

UNLABELLED Tissue level myocardial perfusion is one of the most important prognostic factors after successful recanalisation of the occluded coronary artery in patients suffering acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The primary objective of the present study was to examine the relationship between videodensitometric myocardial perfusion parameters as assessed on coronary angiograms...

The Ebony series of crepe myrtle ( Lagerstroemia indica ) cultivars includes several (Ebony Embers, Fire, Flame, Glow, and Ivory), marketed today under the Black Diamond ® brand. These are relatively new unique for their dark foliage, but with little information concerning performance in north-central Texas, especially low-input landscapes. study was conducted from 2014 to 2017 at three locatio...

Selection is one of the major mechanisms in formal grammar, such as HPSG (Pollard and Sag, 1994), and is used for two purposes which are usually applied in the same contexts: First, syntactic and semantic arguments are specified and their relation to the selector is indicated. This is usually expressed in terms of thematic role assignment. Second, the properties of elements that may be combined...

BACKGROUND Angiographic successful reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction has been defined as TIMI 3 flow. However, TIMI 3 flow does not always result in effective myocardial reperfusion. Myocardial blush grade (MBG) is an angiographic measure of myocardial perfusion. We hypothesized that optimal angiographic reperfusion is defined by TIMI 3 flow and MBG 2 or 3. METHODS AND RESULTS In 924...

AIM Coronary artery disease (CAD) and its serious clinical form, ST segment elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) has been the leader within the death causes around the world and in our country. In STEMI, the main objective is providing the myocardial reperfusion. In our study, it was aimed to investigate the predictive value of tenascin-C level for the degree of myocardial reperfusion in pati...

This research used digital images to explore some of the factors responsible for consumer preference of visual characteristics of apples (Malus ×domestica Borkh.). The images systematically varied in color and shape (Expt. A: 9 images) and type, shape, and background color (Expt. B: 10 images), while keeping apple size constant. Visual assessments of the apple images were collected from 144 con...
