Abstract Background Estimation of functional relevance of a coronary stenosis by fractional flow reserve (FFR) from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has recently provided encouraging results.Due to its limited availability, the corrected contrast opacification (CCO) decrease and the transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG) were sugges
Effects of Cavities on Lining Structure behind Cold Zone Tunnels Based on Coupled Thermal Analysis
There is a significant difference between ambient temperature and internal temperature of surrounding rock in the cold season.Based on the Dulongjiang (DLJ) Tunnel, this paper studies the influence of frost heave force on lining structure and establishes a thermos-dynamical coupling model click here using the field.The results show that the environ
Over-the-counter emergency contraception in Italy: ethical reflections and medico-legal issues
Although more than ten years have passed since the marketing of fleshlight automatique Ulipristal acetate in Europe, emergency contraception remains a complex issue with many scientific, legal, ethical and social implications.The topic is an example of the differences that can exist between scientific evidence, the certainties on which law is based
The parametric instability improvement of fully anisotropic composite plates with embedded shape memory alloy
The parametric resonance or instability challenge in designing laminated composite is crucial in areas such as aeronautical and marine where structures experience dynamic loading.Shape memory alloy (SMA), a type of smart material, has been used to improve the structural behaviours of composite plate using its well-known property of shape memory eff
Bacterial variations on the methionine salvage pathway
Abstract Background The thiomethyl group of S-adenosylmethionine is often recycled as methionine from methylthioadenosine.The corresponding pathway has been unravelled in Bacillus subtilis.However methylthioadenosine is subjected to alternative degradative pathways depending on the organism.Results This work uses genome in silico analysis to propos
