The mission of digital preservation is to overcome the obsolescence threats that digital material is facing on the bitstream, the logical, and the semantic level, and to provide continued, authentic long-term storage and access to digital objects in a usable form for a specific user community. This requires preservation actions to be carried out when the original environment of digital objects ...

Infertility is a very disastrous side effect in young females, especially in traditional male-dominated societies. The aim of this talk is to discuss the possible ways for fertility preservation in both man and woman. Another aspect is to how to predict women at threat of premature ovarian failure. It will also illustrate the association of cytochrome P450 (CYP2C19) polymorphism with ovarian to...

INTRODUCTION Cold storage of organs for preservation and transplantation is reaching its limits especially with extended criteria for heart beating donors and donation after cardiac death. We will discuss recent findings and perspectives in normothermic kidney preservation. METHODS A literature review was performed from original articles and syntheses selected by the search engine PubMed. Key...

Energy recovery linacs (ERLs) are potential candidates for the high power and high brightness electron beams sources. The main advantages of ERL are that electron beam is generated at relatively low energy, injected and accelerated to the operational energy in a linac, and after the use is decelerated in the same linac down to injection energy, and, finally, dumped. A merging system, i.e. a sys...

Persufflation (PSF; gaseous oxygen perfusion) is an organ preservation technique with a potential for use in donor heart preservation. Improved heart preservation with PSF may improve outcomes by maintaining cardiac tissue quality in the setting of longer cold ischemia times and possibly increasing the number of donor hearts available for allotransplant. Published data suggests that PSF is able...

In this paper we propose and prove a new technique called “Overlapping Slicing” for privacy preservation of high dimensional data. The process of publishing the data in the web, faces many challenges today. The data usually contains the personal information which are personally identifiable to anyone, thus poses the problem of Privacy. Privacy is an important issue in data publishing. Many orga...

In this article I prove preservation theorems for the positive and for the universal-existential fragment of equality-free logic. I give a systematic presentation of the method of diagrams for first-order languages without equality.

With the increase in consumer awareness, demand for minimally processed foods and ecofriendliness, various technologies were developed for food processing and preservation. The conventional thermal food preservation and processing techniques appears to have the shortcoming of adversely affecting the food quality, organoleptic properties and nutrients. However, many non-thermal food preservation...

The retrieval of DNA from fossils remains controversial. To substantiate claims of DNA recovery, one needs additional information on the preservation of other molecules within the same sample. Flash pyrolysis with GC and MS was used to assess the quality of protein preservation in 11 archaeological and paleontological remains, some of which have yielded ancient DNA sequences authenticated via a...

Here, we provide additional methodological details regarding the module preservation statistics. In the first section, we describe standard cross-tabulation based module preservation statistics. Specifically, we present three basic crosstabulation based statistics for determining whether modules in a reference data set are preserved in a test data set. These statistics do not assume that a test...
