The goal of collider programs of high energy heavy-ion collisions is to produce a form of matter that can test non-perturbative aspects of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of strong interactions.One of the primary predictions from a computational approach to this quantum Men Flip Flops field theory is the existence of distinct thermodynamic
ObjectiveDetermine whether items in a cataract surgery appropriateness and prioritization questionnaire can predict change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and health related quality of life (HRQOL) following cataract surgery.Methods313 patients with a cataract in Ontario, Canada were recruited to participate.BCVA was measured using the Snell
Shored mechanically stabilized earth (SMSE) walls have been increasingly applied in the projects of widening existing roads or new construction of roads on slopes because of their good carbon emission reduction and mechanical performance.In this paper, a scaled-down model test of SMSE wall with shoring wall batter of 1H:2V was conducted to study th
The endothelins (ET-1, 2 and 3) constitute a family of 21 amino acid peptides with potent biological activities.ET-1 is one of the most potent endogenous vasoconstrictors so far identified and its increased concentration in plasma appears to be closely related to the pathogenesis of arterial hypertension as well as to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the deadliest diseases worldwide.Master-slave robotic systems have been widely used in vascular interventional surgery with the benefit of high safety, efficient operation, and procedural facilitation.This paper introduces a remote-controlled vascular interventional robot (RVIR) that aims to enable surgeons to Que
