Cardiac electrophysiological dysfunction is a major cause of death in humans. Accordingly, electrophysiological testing is routinely performed in intact, conscious, humans to evaluate arrhythmias and disorders of cardiac conduction. However, to date, in vivo electrophysiological studies in mice are limited to anesthetized open-chest or closed-chest preparations. However, cardiac electrophysiolo...

The increasing popularity of flash memory means more database systems will run on flash memory in the future. One of the most important database operations is the external sort. Hence, this paper is focused on studying the problem of efficient external sorting on flash memory. In contrast to most previous work, we target the situation where previously sorted data has become progressively un-sor...

conclusion: We agree and modified the conclusion accordingly. Minor revisions: Birth weight: OR for birth weight are given for 100 g increments. We modified the result section and table 1 accordingly. OAE/ABR: the method of hearing screening was not recorded in the GNN-datasets.

Learning to cope with the day-to-day tasks of life is a crucial factor in recovery from a depressive illness. A housewife explains how she has learnt to cope with the ups and downs by planning accordingly.

let $mathcal{r}$ be a  commutative ring with identity, let $a$ and $b$ be two $mathcal{r}$-algebras and $varphi:blongrightarrow a$ be an $mathcal{r}$-additive algebra homomorphism. we introduce a new algebra $atimes_varphi b$, and give some basic properties of this algebra. generalized $2$-cocycle derivations on $atimes_varphi b$ are studied. accordingly, $atimes_varphi b$ is considered from th...
