OBJECTIVE In the present study, a modified limb lead (MLL) system was used to record the Ta wave in sinus rhythm and with AV block in male patients. METHODS Eighty male subjects (mean age 36 ± 7 years) in sinus rhythm and 20 male patients with AV block (mean age 72 ± 5 years) were included in this study. Standard limb lead (SLL) ECGs and MLL ECGs were recorded for 60 seconds each with an EDAN...

introduction: biofilm forming staphylococcus epidermidis is a main causative agent of infections related to medical devices. purification and evaluation of gly-ta polysaccharide from a biofilm-forming s. epidermidis as a putative vaccine candidate were the main goals of the current study. methods: taking advantage of size exclusion chromatography procedure, glycerol teichoic acid (gly-ta) was p...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the early effects of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) on inflammation, proliferation, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in human choroidal neovascularization (CNV). METHODS Retrospective review of an interventional case series of 29 patients who underwent macular translocation. Fourteen CNV membranes without previous therapy (control CNV group) and 4 CNV membrane...

The structural and electronic properties for di-tantalum boride clusters Ta(2)B(x)(-) (x = 2-5) were investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional calculations. The photoelectron spectra for Ta(2)B(x)(-) (x = 2-5) are obtained at several photon energies with rich spectral features. Density functional theory calculations are performed at the BP86 level to search for the gl...

Map and Reduce are generic, useful notions for computing science; together they are equally expressive as simple inductive definitions over trees/lists/bags/sets. 1. Datatypes Let A be a set. Consider the datatype of finite binary trees over A; it consists of a set TA and two constructors tip and join: TA : set tip : A → TA join : TA × TA → TA join

Public Review Issue 30 (PRI-30) discussed the question of how to encode Bengali khanda ta. This document reviews some key issues and feedback that was received on PRI-30, which included new information that has bearing on arguments for or against different alternatives. In light of the feedback, a strong case for encoding khanda ta as a separate character is presented. Introduction The need for...
