Electron-induced one-nucleon knock-out observables are computed for moderate to high momentum transfer making use of semi-relativistic expressions for the one-body and two-body mesonexchange current matrix elements. Emphasis is placed on the semi-relativistic form of the ∆-isobar exchange current and several prescriptions for the dynamical-equivalent form of the ∆-propagator are analyzed. To th...

An off-lattice Monte Carlo algorithm for solutions of equilibrium polymers (EP) is proposed. At low and moderate densities this is shown to reproduce faithfully the (static) properties found recently for flexible linear EP using a lattice model [1]. The molecular weight distribution (MWD) is well described in the dilute limit by a Schultz-Zimm distribution and becomes purely exponential in the ...

This study aimed to classify patients according to their degree of dependence on nursing care (Perroca Classification System) and correlate this with the anesthetic risk (American Society of Anesthesiologists--ASA classification) in a post-anesthesia care unit. A cross-sectional study was conducted, which included 402 patients, mean age 51.57 (±16.73) years, of which 216 (54%) were female. The ...

Uncalibrated semi-invasive continous monitoring of cardiac index (CI) has recently gained increasing interest. The aim of the present study was to compare the accuracy of CI determination based on arterial waveform analysis with transpulmonary thermodilution. Fifty patients scheduled for elective coronary surgery were studied after induction of anaesthesia and before and after cardiopulmonary b...

This mixed-method study explored the domestic students' willingness to communicate (WTC) in L2 (English) an international class. In particular, it investigated frequency of using English social interaction with overseas students and online learning activities. addition, factors contributing use English. quantitative stage, 25 responded questionnaire on their settings Zoom-room settings. Quantit...

toxic heavy metals, such as lead (pb) and cadmium (cd) are widely used in industry and their accumulation in the living tissues may cause serious health problems and ecological hazards. twenty four moderately halophilic bacteria isolated from saline environments of iran were used to study their ability to bioremediation of lead and cadmium. amongst them, a gram-negative rod shaped bacterium, de...

The Visible and Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS)/Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership (SNPP) satellite provide sensor data records for the retrievals of many environment data records. It is critical to monitor the VIIRS long-term calibration stability to ensure quality EDR retrieval. This study investigates the radiometric calibratio...

Salt-affected soils, caused by natural or human activities, are a common environmental hazard in semi-arid and arid landscapes. Excess salts in soils affect plant growth and production, soil and water quality and, therefore, increase soil erosion and land degradation. This research investigates the performance of five different semi-empirical predictive models for soil salinity spatial distribu...
