InAs/InGaAs dot-in-well (DWELL) structures have been investigated with the systematically varied InGaAs thickness. Both the strained buffer layer (SBL) below the dot layer and the strain-reducing layer (SRL) above the dot layer were found to be responsible for the redshift in photoluminescence (PL) emission of the InAs/InGaAs DWELL structure. A linear followed by a saturation behavior of the em...

Despite high prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in patients with acute or chronic gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB), IDA and iron deficiency (ID) are frequently untreated. Reasons may be misconceptions about the impact and diagnosis of IDA and the efficacy of new treatments. Addressing these misconceptions, this article summarizes current evidence for better understanding and management o...

One time treatment with standardized extract from leaves of Hippophae rhamnoides L. (coded as SBL-1), 30min before irradiation with lethal dose (10 Gy) of Co-gamma rays rendered >90% radioprotection to mice population. The present study was planned to examine the effects of SBL-1 on mouse spleen cell populations in whole body lethally irradiated mice. All non-SBL-1 treated irradiated (10 Gy) mi...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the outcome of children with short bowel syndrome (SBS) who required long-term parenteral nutrition (PN). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective analysis of children (n=78) with SBS who required PN >3 months from 1975 to 2000. STATISTICS univariate analysis, Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox proportional regression model were used. RESULTS We identified 78 patients. Survival was bette...

For the localization competition, we propose to deploy an indoor localization system based on Non-Uniform Sequence Based Localization (NU-SBL) algorithm. NU-SBL algorithm works by dividing the two dimensional localization space into faces on the basis of the ranked RSS from the deployed stationary beacon nodes. The algorithm requires the scaled floor plan of the building and the location coordi...

Although the early use of a risk stratification score in gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is recommended, so far there has been no for GIB patients admitted to cardiology department. To describe factors and develop new model A total 633 inpatients with from January 2014 December 2018 were recruited, 4,231 non-GIB recruited as control group. Multivariate logistic regression was used GIB. develope...

Background: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use and H pylori infection are two major causes of peptic ulcers. This study investigates the effect of H pylori infection and NSAIDs on gastroduodenal damages and bleeding (GIB). Methods: 104 patients with acute gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) and 102 patients with dyspepsia without bleeding were studied. Duodenal (DU) and gastric ulcers...

This paper investigates the impact of stable boundary-layer (SBL) mixing in a vertical diffusion package on the simulated climatology in a regional model. In contrast to previous studies, we focus on the sensitivity of the simulated climatology to the representation of SBL processes in the modelled atmosphere, paying particular attention to precipitation and associated large-scale patterns. The...

Background & Objective: Although the antigen expression patterns of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are well known, this study attempted to evaluate commonly used immune markers for immunophenotyping of acute leukemia to set the minimum of necessary diagnostic panels by flow cytometry. Methods: This study evaluated 89 patients referred from all over th...

A single dose (30 mg/kg body weight) of standardized sea buckthorn leaf extract (SBL-1), administered 30 min before whole body (60)Co-gamma-irradiation (lethal dose, 10 Gy), protected >90% of mice population. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism of action of SBL-1 on jejunum and bone marrow, quantify key bioactive compounds, and analyze chemical composition of SBL-1. Study...
