We consider open supermembranes in eleven dimensions in the presence of closed M-Theory five-branes. It has been shown that, in a flat space-time, the world-volume action is kappa invariant and preserves a fraction of the eleven dimensional supersymmetries if the boundaries of the membranes lie on the five-branes. We calculate the reparametrisation anomalies due to the chiral fermions on the bo...

A five-year neurological and EEG follow-up was carried on 55 patients who had undergone open-heart surgery for valve replacement in order to investigate the long-term results of the treatment. The five-year survival rate was 89%. The prevalence of permanent neurological abnormalities after operation was 9%. Transient ischaemic attacks occurred in five patients but no more severe cerebrovascular...

As 2016 draws to a close, FEBS Open Bio celebrates the 5th anniversary of its launch in late 2011. FEBS Open Bio was the first journal owned by FEBS (The Federation of European Biochemical Societies) to be completely open access and its launch was a new departure for the federation, which also owns three successful subscription journals. Five years on, and FEBS Open Bio is flourishing. Now acce...

Open Science is an umbrella term that encompasses a multitude of assumptions about the future of knowledge creation and dissemination. Based on a literature review, this paper aims at structuring the overall discourse by proposing five Open Science schools of thought: The infrastructure school (which is concerned with the technological architecture), the public school (which is concerned with t...

The problems below are motivated by some of the works I did in the past. They deal with the dynamics of compressible fluids, either viscous or inviscid. They could be good questions for mathematicians having originality and technical strength. They are not worth a million dollars, even not a penny, but they are interesting in their own. 1 Global-in-time Cauchy problem for Euler–Fourier system P...

We study open supermembrane in 11 dimensional rigid superspace with 6 dimensional topological defects (M-theory five-branes). After rederiving, in the GreenSchwarz formalism, the boundary conditions of open superstring in the type IIA theory, we determine the boundary conditions of open supermembrane by imposing kappa symmetry and invariance under a fraction of 11 dimensional supersymmetry. The...

Background and Objectives: Suction is a necessary and common method which aids in the release of secretion from the respiratory system for the patients who have undergone mechanical ventilation. One of the most common complications of suction is hypoxemia which causes dysrhythmia and death. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of open and closed-endotracheal suction on cardiov...

conclusions most cases of splenectomy in our center caused by trauma, and among the different types of trauma, blunt trauma is the dominant cause. road traffic accidents, in particular motor vehicle accidents, especially motorbike injures, are the most frequent cause of splenectomy. due to the instability of trauma patients, a mortality rate of 8% seems to be reasonable for splenectomy. rnwe re...

background patients presenting with a mass require tissue biopsy for histological diagnosis and treatment. fine needle aspiration (fna) is offered as an atraumatic, well tolerated, and inexpensive method for obtaining a biopsy from these lesions. objectives in this study we evaluated the accuracy of fna as an atraumatic method among patients with nonthyroidal masses for diagnosis of neoplastic ...
