Objectives. This study assessed the clinical utility of mitral annulus velocity in the evaluation
of left ventricular diastolic function. Background. Mitral inflow velocity recorded by Doppler …

This paper reviews the history of strained-silicon and the adoption of uniaxial-process-induced
strain in nearly all high-performance 90-, 65-, and 45-nm logic technologies to date. A …

The nature of follicular helper CD4 + T (Tfh) cell differentiation remains controversial,
including the minimal signals required for Tfh cell differentiation and the time at which Tfh cell …

… YS and D.-NJ performed adduct film synthesis and analysis. D.… YS performed the impedance
analysis. YCK and KHK performed X-ray analysis, detector fabrication and imaging. YCK, …

Bcl6 is required for CD4 T cell differentiation into T follicular helper cells (Tfh). In this study,
we examined the role of IL-6 in early processes of in vivo Tfh differentiation, because the …

Objective: This report surveys and evaluates the scientific research on evidence-based
healthcare design and extracts its implications for designing better and safer hospitals. …

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are fibrous networks which protrude from the membranes
of activated neutrophils. NETs are found in a variety of conditions such as infection, …

Stem cells regulate their fate by binding to, and contracting against, the extracellular matrix.
Recently, it has been proposed that in addition to matrix stiffness and ligand type, the degree …

We consider the capacity of multiple-input multiple-output systems with reduced complexity.
One link-end uses all available antennas, while the other chooses the L out of N antennas …

An absorbable sponge, composed of gelatin and alginate, was prepared by new crosslinking
method that improved the efficiency of crosslinking. The crosslinking degree was …
