Regional Innovation System(RIS) is a new model for regional development and it could be a new means for a balanced economic development in a nation. This paper investigates the concept, definition and development process of RIS and the application of RIS in Korea. Characteristics of RIS are introduced, mainly based on existing studies. The application cases in Europe, US and Japan are discussed...

A two-dimensional retention index system for fatty acid methyl esters (2D-FARI) is proposed. The system is based on the application of different temperature and pressure programs on a single capillary column. A calibration sample is analysed and the retention data is calibrated against a set of reference 2D-FARI values. The calibration models are then applied to predict the 2D-FARI values for c...

In this paper a CPW-fed annular slot antenna is miniaturized with enhanced impedance bandwidth using a reactive impedance surface (RIS) substrate. The RIS is realized by patterning 3× 3 array of circular elements over an inexpensive FR-4 substrate which is backed by a circular metallic plane. Due to the compensation of electric and magnetic energy stored by antenna and RIS substrate respectivel...

We demonstrate a refractive index sensor based on a long period grating (LPG) inscribed in a special photosensitive microfiber with double-clad profile. The fiber is tapered gradually enough to ensure the adiabaticity of the fiber taper. In other words, the resulting insertion loss is sufficiently small. The boron and germanium co-doped inner cladding makes it suitable for inscribing gratings i...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of insomnia in chronic tinnitus and the association of tinnitus distress and sleep disturbance. METHODS We retrospectively analysed data of 182 patients with chronic tinnitus who completed the Tinnitus Questionnaire (TQ) and the Regensburg Insomnia Scale (RIS). Descriptive comparisons with the validation sample of the RIS in...

Background and Objectives: To compare the safety and efficacy of haloperidol and risperidone in the treatment of delirium and its subtypes Methods: We collected sociodemographic data and medical variables in addition to systematically rating all patients with delirium with the Memorial Delirium Assessment Scale (MDAS), Karnofsky Performance Status Scale (KPS) and abbreviated Udvalg for Kliniske...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to define the reference intervals (RIs) in a Turkish population living in Northeast Turkey (Erzurum) for 34 analytes using direct and indirect methods. In the present study, the regional RIs obtained were compared with other RI studies, primarily the nationwide study performed in Turkey. MATERIALS AND METHODS For the direct method, 435 blood samples were...

UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of radioimmunoscintigraphy (RIS) directed against prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) in influencing postradical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) radiotherapy (RT) decision making. METHODS The records of consecutive patients who underwent RRP, who were referred for consideration of RT, and for whom an RIS scan was obtained were rev...

GC/MS analysis of hydro-distillated essential oil (1.9% v/w) from fresh leaves Laurus nobilis cultivated in Egypt revealed the presence 81 components which 59 compounds were identified, identified represent 96.3 % composition. The major constituents 1,8-cineole (27.41%), linalool (19.37%), ?-terpinyl acetate (14.65%), methyl eugenol (7.73%), ?-terpineol, (2.84%), terpinen-4-ol (2.09%), elemicin...
