Since pharmaceuticals cannot be used in space until liver and kidney dysfunctions are corrected, and with invariable malabsorption, it appears there is no alternative other than to use subcutaneous magnesium (Mg) replacements in the presence of deficiencies and use of gene therapy. I suggest beginning with the correction of as many as four gene deficiencies: atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), ni...

We have developed new methods for contrast transfer function (CTF) correction of tilted and/or thick specimens. In order to achieve higher resolutions in cryo-electron tomography (CryoET), it is necessary to account for the defocus gradient on a tilted specimen and possibly the defocus gradient within a thick specimen. CTF correction methods which account for these defocus differences have rece...

Research on the continued influence effect has consistently shown that people continue to rely on false causal information despite being corrected by more recent information. Corrections are most effective when paired with an alternative explanation that ‘fills the causal gap’ left by the correction. However, it may not always be possible provide an alternative explanation. Previous research su...

In Algorithm-based fault tolerance (ABFT), the fault tolerance scheme is tailored to the algorithm performed. Most of the previous studies that compared various ABFT schemes considered only their error detection and correction capabilities. Some previous studies looked at the overhead in general but no previous work –as far as we know– compared different ABFT schemes considering performance as ...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. OBJECTIVE To study the behavior of the unfused thoracic curve in Lenke type 5C during the follow-up and to identify risk factors for its correction loss. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Few studies have focused on the spontaneous behaviors of the unfused thoracic curve after selective thoracolumbar or lumbar fusion during the follow-up and the risk factors for s...

abstract oculocardiac reflex (ocr) sometimes occurs as a result of pressure on the eye or traction of the intraorbital surrounding structures during ophthalmic surgery. this can result in bradycardiac arrhythmia and cardiac arrest. a 45-year-old female was undergoing an elective squint correction surgery of one eye under local anaesthesia in a private hospital in december 2013. the patient was ...

• Variation between measurements may be reduced if sampling is not random • Fixed factors can reduce variation • Replicates are repeated measurements from within an experimental unit • Replication means that samples can no longer be considered random • Comparisons of replicated values require correction, usually by reducing the effect of sample size • Correction requires knowledge of the intra-...
