The usefulness of lung-thorax compliance (or elastance) as an index of pulmonary compliance (or elastance) was examined in 15 patients being ventilated for acute respiratory failure. Mean lung-thorax elastance (ELT) was 27.9 +/- 2.6 cm H2O/L, and the chest wall accounted for 34 +/- 2 percent of the mean total value. Changes in ELT caused by increments of positive end-expiratory pressure correla...

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are expressed by immune cells, intestinal epithelium, and tumor cells. In the homeostatic setting, they help to regulate control over invading pathogens and maintain the epithelial lining of the large and small intestines. Aberrant expression of certain TLRs by tumor cells can induce growth inhibition while others contribute to tumorigenesis and progression. Activatio...

We summarise the science cases for an ELT that were presented in the parallel session on the intergalactic medium, and the open discussion that followed the formal presentations. Observations of the IGM with an ELT provides tremendous potential for dramatic improvements in current programmes in a very wide variety of subjects. These range from fundamental physics (expansion of the Universe, nat...

Abstract The aim of this article is to review five years (2014–2018) research in English language teaching (ELT) Argentina. In overview, 115 publications (conference proceedings, journal articles, and edited collections) were analysed terms topic methodologies map out the major areas interest developments ELT are reviewed according nine topics: (1) interculturality citizenship, (2) teacher educ...

Teachers need to know new applications for developing online materials and then they should become aware of different ways to present them to online audience. This study tries to help ELT teachers to overcome challenges and difficulties of vodcasting by recognizing their social and biological motives (Activity Theory), and using Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS). It can alter teachers’ negative ...

Direct imaging is a powerful exoplanet discovery technique that complementary to other techniques and offers great promise in the era of 30 meter class telescopes. Space-based transit surveys have revolutionized our understanding frequency planets at small orbital radii around Sun-like stars. The next generation extremely large ground-based telescopes will angular resolution sensitivity directl...

Environmental education (EE) is one of the content-based language learning pedagogies used to enhance students’ awareness environmental concerns and their effect on people animals. It aims build teachers’ importance EE green pedagogy in ELT. However, research into integrating still scarce. Therefore, this article presents an analysis multimodal discourse imperatives using content integrated (CL...
