Placenta accreta spectrum includes the full range of abnormal placental attachment to uterus or other structures, encompassing placenta accreta, increta, percreta, morbidly adherent placenta, and invasive placentation. The incidence has increased in recent years, largely driven by increasing rates cesarean delivery. Prenatal detection is primarily made ultrasound important reduce maternal morbi...

Communication library is a substantially important part for the development of the parallel applications on PC clusters. MPI is currently the most important messaging passing standard being used worldwide. Although powerful, MPI is very complex and require a certain amount of effort to learn. In fact, only a basic set of MPI functions is enough to develop a large class of parallel applications....

Metallothionein is an ubiquitous metal-binding protein which is inducible by various stimuli such as Cd. Cu, Zn, dexamethasone or various "stress" factors. In rat liver, there m two isoforms of metallothionein (MT-I and MT-2) but i t is unknown if they have separate functions [ I ] . Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) are commonly used to reduce the synthesis of a protein in order to study ...

The modeling of thermal reaction furnaces of sulfur recovery units is a quite cumbersome problem since it involves different modeling scales such as the kinetic/molecular micro-scale, the reactor design meso-scale, and the chemical process macro-scale. The present paper proposes preliminary results of a multiscale approach to model the thermal furnaces and waste heat boiler based on detailed ki...

Proposes two concepts for the empirical analysis of society-nature interrelations: first, socio-economic metabolism ± the material and energy flows between societies and their natural environment and second, the colonization of nature ± the sum of deliberate interventions into natural systems aimed at their `̀ improvement'' with respect to socio-economic goals. Discusses empirical examples for s...

Objective: To systematically review and assess the effectiveness and safety of antidepressants for neuropathic pain among individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: A systematic search was conducted using multiple databases for relevant articles published from 1980 to April 2014. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving antidepressant treatment of neuropathic pain with >3 individu...

A cutting plane algorithm for minimizing a convex function subject to constraints de ned by a separation oracle is presented. The algorithm is based on approximate analytic centers. The nonlinearity of the objective function is taken into account, yet the feasible region is approximated by a containing polytope. This containing polytope is regularly updated either by adding a new cut at or by s...
