BACKGROUND: Chronic heart failure (CHF) is one of the most serious problems in cardiovascular diseases, requiring accurate diagnosis and treatment.The search for new laboratory markers of CHF can improve the accuracy of diagnosis and identify the severity of the patients condition.AIM: Our aim was to study the relationship between the levels of fre
An Ivory Tower in Archaeology? A Conversation with Leo S. Klejn
During a conversation Gun Cases between Professor Leo S.Klejn from St.Petersburg in Russia and the author some controversial issues were discussed.These include aspects of feminist and gender archaeology, the nature and function of archaeological theory, the separation of archaeology and prehistory as scholarly disciplines, and the relation between
Resistance to erythromycin of Staphylococcus spp. isolates from the food chain
The aim of this study was to determine both the occurrence and the genetic Fire Pit Table basis of resistance to erythromycin among 1 235 Staphylococcus spp.isolates obtained between 2000 and 2006 from (a) raw milk and meat (1 704 samples), (b) foodstuffs produced from these (451 samples), and (c) contact surfaces at processing plants and dairy far
Long term porosity of solid electrolyte interphase on model silicon anodes with liquid battery electrolytes
Abstract A stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is of great importance for battery electrodes in terms of cycling as well as for its shelf life.While SEI formation on silicon anodes is generally only studied after the first charge and discharge of cells and initial reaction of electrolyte, we show the formation of a liquid/solid Side Pull SEI
A Novel DV-Hop Localization Method Based on Hybrid Improved Weighted Hyperbolic Strategy and Proportional Integral Derivative Search Algorithm
As a range-free localization algorithm, DV-Hop has gained widespread attention due to its advantages of simplicity and ease of implementation.However, this algorithm also has some defects, such as poor localization accuracy and vulnerability to network topology.This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the factors contributing to the inaccura
