OBJECTIVE To compare the accuracy of the GRACE score, a strong prognosticator in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) that is calculated using conventional cardiac troponin (cTn) assays, with that calculated with high-sensitivity cTn (hs-cTn) and with the combination of the GRACE score with hs-cTn or B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). DESIGN Prospective international cohort. Settings University Hospi...

The East China Sea (ECS) is a region with shallow continental shelves and a mixed oceanic circulation system allowing sediments to deposit on its inner shelf, particularly near the estuary of the Yangtze River. The seasonal northward-flowing Taiwan Warm Current and southward-flowing China Coastal Current trap sediments from the Yangtze River, which are accumulated over time at rates of up to a ...

Dr Grace Dammann had devoted decades of her life to the compassionate care of AIDS patients in San Francisco, California, when, on May 21, 2008, a head-on vehicle collision on the Golden Gate Bridge nearly took her life. When she not only survived but came out of a coma with all of her mental faculties intact, Grace, her family, and her doctors agreed it was nothing short of a miracle. Her path...

[1] Two time series of deep ocean bottom pressure records (BPRs) in between the Crozet Islands and Kerguelen are compared with GRACE (Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment) equivalent water heights. An analysis of the correlation is performed for four time series: 1) monthly averages of the equivalent water height at the Crozet Islands, 2) the same near the Kerguelen Islands, 3) the mean of t...

a viscosity model, based on eyring’s absolute rate theory combined with a cubic pr equation of state and wong-sandler mixing rule, has been proposed in order to correlate viscosities of aqueous solutions of alkanolamine mixtures at atmospheric pressure and different temperatures. in the proposed method, the energy and size parameters in studied equation of state (eos) have been obtained using t...

I t is estimated that in the United States, each year, >780 000 people will experience an acute coronary syndrome. Approximately 70% of these people will have a non–ST-elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and the rest will have an ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI). Patients with NSTEMI typically have more comorbidities, both cardiac and noncardiac, than patients with STEMI. In both ...

We carry out a comprehensive error assessment of Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) GRACE Follow-On (GFO) Release-6 (RL06) solutions from the Center for Space Research (CSR) at University Texas Austin, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Geoforschungszentrum (GFZ). The study covers period April 2002 to August 2020 uses two different methods, one based upon open ocean residuals (O...

In late-age silicon, soft errors become an issue even for low-margin products. Since classical hardening techniques are associated with costs which may not be acceptable for such ICs, selective hardening which targets only a subset of all possible soft errors has been suggested. We propose a soft error selection method based on severity of an error’s impact on system behavior. Some soft errors ...
