Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common in our aging population, and intermittent claudication (IC) its most frequent symptom. The current evidence-based practice guidelines support the use of optimal medical therapy, including statins antiplatelet agents, risk factor management (eg, smoking cessation), exercise, as primary strategy.1Siracuse J.J.

This study describes and explains the paradox of related languages in contact that show signs of both linguistic divergence and convergence. Seventeen distinct languages are spoken in the northernmost islands of Vanuatu. These closely related Oceanic languages have evolved from an earlier dialect network, by progressive diversification. Innovations affecting word forms – mostly sound change and...

We experimentally demonstrate polarization-insensitive all optical wavelength conversion of a 10-Gb/s DPSK data signal based on four-wave mixing in a silicon waveguide with an angled-pump scheme. Dispersion engineering is applied to the silicon waveguide to obtain similar four-wave mixing conversion performances for both the TE and TM modes. Bit-error rate measurements are performed and error-f...

and Applied Analysis 3 Definition 2.3. Let X, p be a partial metric space. Then, 1 a sequence {xn} in X, p is called a Cauchy sequence if limn,m→∞p xn, xm exists and is finite ; 2 the space X, p is said to be complete if every Cauchy sequence {xn} inX converges, with respect to τp, to a point x ∈ X such that p x, x limn,m→∞ p xn, xm . Lemma 2.4. Let X, p be a partial metric space. a {xn} is a C...

The microbiome research field is rapidly evolving, but the required biobanking infrastructure currently fragmented and not prepared for of microbiomes. rapid advancement technologies requires an urgent assessment how biobanks can underpin by preserving samples their functional potential. Traditionally, microbiology has relied on culture collections associated services to ensure quality reproduc...

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic represents a global threat, and the interaction between virus angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE2), primary entry receptor for SARS-CoV-2, is key determinant of range hosts that can be infected by virus. However, mechanisms underpinning ACE2-mediated viral across species remains unclear. Using infection assay, we evaluate...
