• BACKGROUND A Mediterranean-style eating pattern is consistently associated with a decreased diabetes risk in Mediterranean and European populations. However, results in U.S. populations are inconsistent. The objective of this study was to assess whether a Mediterranean-style eating pattern would be associated with diabetes risk in a large,…[Read more]

  • While large magnitudes of the longitudinal crystal field select the z-spin components either in their states ±3/2 or ±1/2, it is surprising that a large transverse crystal field induces the spin component in the z direction to values ±1, which are completely different from any expected natural component. This comes indeed as a result of the ze…[Read more]

  • Variability in the dynamical function of nodes comprising a complex network impacts upon cascading failures that can compromise the network’s ability to operate. Node types correspond to sources, sinks, or passive conduits of a current flow, applicable to renewable electrical power microgrids containing a variable number of intermittently…[Read more]

  • Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia, and its prevalence is increasing. Early diagnosis is important to reduce the risk of stroke. Mobile health (mHealth) devices, such as single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) devices, have been introduced to the worldwide consumer market over the past decade. Recent studies have assessed the…[Read more]

  • The microbial nutrient recovery cell i.e. modified microbial fuel cell containing a middle recovery chamber can be used to purify wastewater and remove valuable nutrients, while simultaneously generating electricity. The study investigated nutrient removal and microorganism interactions with carbon (CB- HT and CB- APTES) and stainless steel…[Read more]

However, off-pump surgery performed by low volume off-pump surgeons was associated with a significantly lower number of grafts, increased conversion rates, and increased…[Read more]

  • 0001). Hospital stay after surgery was shorter in endoscopic group. Incidence of diabetes insipidus was more in microscopic group (25%) compared to endoscopic group (7.14%). Visual outcome was almost same with approaches. Requirement of hormone replacement was more in microscopic group than in endoscopic group ( p = 0.006). Incidence of cyst…[Read more]
