Aim: To investigate and compare uncoated and phosphoryl-choline-coated oxygenators in terms of induction of humoral immune response during coronary artery bypass surgery. Methods: A total of 20 consecutive patients who ...

Problems associated with determining optimal routes from one or several depots (origin, home city) to a set of nodes (vertices, cities, customers, locations) are known as routing problems. The Traveling Salesman Problem ...

Activity recognition is the problem of predicting the current action of a person through the motion sensors worn on the body. The problem is usually approached as a supervised classification task where a discriminative ...

One of the main mechanisms of action for photodynamic therapy (PDT) is the destruction of tumor vasculature. We observed the PDT-induced vasculature destruction in a mouse model of skin cancer using two techniques: ...

We modify and generalize the known solution for the electromagnetic field when a vacuum, stationary, axisymmetric black hole is immersed in a uniform magnetic field to the case of nonvacuum black holes (of modified gravity) ...

This work presented a new approach to fabricate polymer nanocomposites films with nanofiber structures from solution blends of poly(vinyl alcohol) + octadecyl amine-montmorillonite (ODA-MMT) (matrix) with poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) ...

Novel multifunctional colloidal polymer nanofiber electrolytes were fabricated by green reactive electrospinning nanotechnology from various water solution/dispersed blends of poly (vinyl alcohol-co-vinyl acetate) ...

In this paper, we study the accretion process for fluids flowing near a black hole in the context of f (T) teleparallel gravity. Specifically, by performing a dynamical analysis by a Hamiltonian system, we are able to find ...

We investigate the Michel-type accretion onto a static spherically symmetric black hole. Using a Hamiltonian dynamical approach, we show that the standard method employed for tackling the accretion problem has masked some ...

In this study, a fuzzy multi-response standard ready-mixed concrete (SRMC) optimization problem is addressed. This problem includes two conflicting quality optimization objectives. One of these objectives is to minimize ...
