Abstract Mortality and morbidity of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) are largely unaltered.A possible new approach to treatment of ARDS is offered by the discovery of inflammatory subphenotypes.In an ovine model of ARDS phenotypes, matching key features of the human subphenotypes, we provide an imaging characterization using computer tomo
ABSTRACTFor decades, the Wind Chill Temperature Index (WCT) and its various iterations have been used to assess the risk of frostbite on unclothed body parts.This paper presents an innovative knowledge-based Cold Weather Ensemble Decision Aid (CoWEDA) that can be used to guide the selection of the most appropriate cold weather ensemble(s) relative
Prey size is an important factor in food consumption.In studies of feeding ecology, prey items are usually measured individually using calipers or ocular micrometers.Among amphibians and reptiles, there are species that feed on large numbers of small prey items (e.g.ants, termites).This high intake makes it difficult to estimate prey size THICKENIN
2-Chloro-3-amino-4-picoline (CAPIC) is a strategic building block for the preparation of nevirapine, a widely-prescribed non-nucleosidic reverse transcriptase inhibitor for the treatment of HIV-infected patients.A continuous synthesis to the bromo derivative of a CAPIC intermediate, 2-bromo-4-methylnicotinonitrile, that terminates in Rocker Panel a
Construction is one of the most hazardous industries worldwide.Implementing safety regulations is the responsibility of all parties involved in a construction project and must be performed systematically and synergistically to maximize safety performance and reduce accidents.This study aims to examine the level of safety compliance of construction
