Lacking this information, businesses are effectively putting their critical business services in jeopardy. In this paper, we present a method to evaluate the ecosystem health of eight different PaaS providers. The results of our research enable businesses and individuals to make an inf...

A novel, fast and simple method was developed to fabricate poly(acrylic acid sodium salt) microspheres (PAAS MSs). The resulting PAAS MSs were utilized as active templates to universally synthesize the mesoporous lanthanide-doped gadolinium oxide hollow nanospheres with multicolored upconversion emissions under mild conditions.

Proximal pulmonary artery aneurysms (PAAs) are rare. Most are associated with secondary pulmonary hypertension or a variety of rare systemic disorders. An asymptomatic adult patient presented with bilateral hilar enlargement on a routine chest roentgenogram. Computed tomography of the chest revealed 5 cm bilateral proximal PAAs with a normal pulmonary trunk. The clinician should consider proxim...
