The temporal organization of the Fo contour in Swedish words with the grave accent (accent 11) has been investigated. Consonants and consonant c lus te rs of different length and complexity (from r b ] to [ r3 s t s p 1 ] were inserted between the two syllable kerne ls of com p a n d disyllabic nonsense words and the effect of the resulting tempor a l perturbations on the Fo contour of the seco...

This paper presents the middleware needed to deploy jobs to non-geographically colocated clusters with decentralized look-up severs. We have named our framework the Initium Remote Job Submission (RJS) system. Initium generates a jar file that is signed by a trusted certificate authority CA [Lyon]. The jar is run by a Computation Server (CS), (a remote computer running the Initium Computer Serve...

SBA-CaCl 2 (SCa) composites with high CaCl content were prepared using the non-functionalized and methyl-and carboxyl-functionalized mesoporous SBA-15 supports their thermochemical heat storage (TCHS) performance have been investigated a TG/DSC system coupled humidity generator. This paper presents influence of silica (SBA-15) functionalization on structural-textural properties SCa consequently...

Choline oxidase (ChOx) was chosen as a model enzyme for evaluating the performance of CNTs’ functional groups for development of enzyme electrodes. CNTs were functionalized with carboxylic acid, amine or amide groups. Carboxylic acid, amine and amide functionalized CNTs were obtained by acid treatment, ethylenediamine or tetraethylenepentamine chemically modification and ammonia plasma treatmen...

We read with a great interest the paper by Miglioranza et al. (1), which sought to define the performance of lung ultrasound (LUS) compared with a clinical congestion score, natriuretic peptides, and echocardiography, to evaluate decompensation in patients with systolic heart failure (HF) in an outpatient clinic. This paper is a valuable effort to bridge the gap between echocardiography and tho...

BackgroundPoint-of-care lung ultrasound (LUS) examination is increasingly utilized in Internal Medicine. To improve the standardization of LUS education and clinical use, explicit minimal criteria for defining what an acceptable clinically useful image are needed.MethodsA 97-item online survey potential common uses Medicine was developed sent to 10 international point-of-care experts. Their opi...

Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the effects dietary unsaturated and saturated fat ratio (U:S) linoleic linolenic acid (LA:ALA) on growth performance grow-finish pigs estrus detection gilts. A total 240 with initial body weight (BW) 54.4 ±5.5 kg were randomly assigned a high (>1.8; HUS) or low (<1.0; LUS) U:S in combination (20:1), moderate (12:1) (4:1) LA:A...

The present study deals with the synthesis andfunctionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles as drug delivery platforms. SBA-15 nanorods with high surface area (1010 m2g-1) were functionalized by post grafting method using 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTS). The parent and thiol-functionalized SBA-15 nanorods were used as nanocarriers for an anticancer drug (gemcitabine). The charac...

Abstract Over the last decades, especially during COVID-19 pandemic period, lung ultrasound (LUS) gained interest due to multiple advantages: radiation-free, repeatable, cost-effective, portable devices with a bedside approach. These advantages can help clinicians in triage, positive diagnostic, stratification of disease forms according severity and prognosis, evaluation mechanically ventilated...
