EFFECT OF THE NEXT-NEAREST NEIGHBOR INTERACTION ON THE ORDER-DISORDER PHASE TRANSITION

In this work, one and two-dimensional lattices are studied theoretically by a statistical mechanical approach. The nearest and next-nearest neighbor interactions are both taken into account, and the approximate thermodynamic properties of the lattices are calculated. The results of our calculations show that: (1) even though the next-nearest neighbor interaction may have an insignificant ef...

The next phase in transplant medicine

Global Impact [2] Rob Waddell is a very lucky man, although he might not have thought so when his kidneys began to fail ten years ago. The finance manager from the state of Kentucky in the US suffered from a life-threatening genetic condition called polycystic kidney disease. Although regular dialysis helped him manage his disease, Waddell knew he would eventually need a kidney transplant and f...

Therapeutic angiogenesis: time for the next phase.

Restoring blood flow is the most effective means to limit damage to ischemic tissue. Since the 1960s, surgical placement of bypass grafts for coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral vascular disease has effectively and durably restored blood flow to ischemic tissue. Nonsurgical revascularization was introduced clinically starting in the 1970s. Thrombolytic therapy is used to treat acute th...
