An inorganic-organic hybrid (IOH) of silica particulates and polyethylene (PE) was investigated, where silica was employed as an analogue to lunar soil. The objective was to search for the optimum materials design strategy for “lunar cements” – infrastructural materials based on locally harvestable resources on the Moon. If the silica particulate size was uniform, the flexure strength of the IO...

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common CV emergency that may lead to acute life-threatening right ventricular failure. Right-sided heart thrombi are relatively rare (4-18% of patients presenting with acute PE). The presence of right heart thrombi, particularly when mobile, is associated with a significantly increased risk of mortality. Thrombus straddling the patent foramen ovale (TSFO) in PE is e...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant primary liver cancer with poor prognosis. In the present study, we report that pekinenin E (PE), a casbane diterpenoid derived from the roots of Euphorbia pekinensis, has a strong antitumor activity against human HCC cells both in vitro and in vivo. PE suppressed the growth of human HCC cells Hep G2 and SMMC-7721. In addition, PE-mediated endoplasmi...

the incorporation of several anti-rodent masterbatches into polyethylene (pe) granules used for gas pipes and the effects of the masterbatches on the physical properties of the pipes were studied. four commercial anti-rodent masterbatches from different international companies including, clariant, alchemix, polyone, and newgen were used in this research. each of the masterbatch was primarily dr...

THE EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF RESPIRATORY MEDICINE VOL I ISSUE I Several clinical prediction have been developed to categorised such patients as Geneva or Well’s scores; however the ability to accurately determine the pretest probability of PE appears to increase with clinical experience. [4] Accurate diagnosis of acute PE may be difficult on these bases, because of non-specificity of not only the cl...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of a 4-year specialist-taught Physical Education (PE) program on physical activity (PA) among primary school children. METHODS A 4-year cluster randomised controlled trial was conducted in children (initially aged 8 years) from 29 primary schools (13 Intervention, 16 Control). Intervention students (N = 457) received 2 × 45 ...
