Last lecture we proved that coarse correlated equilibria (CCE) are tractable, in a satisfying sense: there are simple and computationally efficient learning procedures that converge quickly to the set of CCE. Of course, if anything in our equilibrium hierarchy (Figure 1) was going to be tractable, it was going to be CCE, the biggest set. The good researcher is never satisfied and always seeks s...

In this work, the electrocatalytic oxidation of ethanol was studied in acidic media at the wholly electrosynthesized nanocomposites: platinum and its alloys (copper and nickel) anoparticles/reduced graphene oxide on the carbon-ceramic electrode (Pt/rGO/CCE, Pt-Cu/rGO/CCE, and Pt-Ni/rGO/CCE electrocatalysts). The electrosynthesized nanocomposites were characterized by scan...

In animal cells, capacitative calcium entry (CCE) mechanisms become activated specifically in response to depletion of calcium ions (Ca(2+)) from secretory organelles. CCE serves to replenish those organelles and to enhance signaling pathways that respond to elevated free Ca(2+) concentrations in the cytoplasm. The mechanism of CCE regulation is not understood because few of its essential compo...

Capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE) in vascular smooth muscle cells contributes to vasoconstrictor and mitogenic effects of vasoactive hormones. In A7r5 rat aortic smooth muscle cells, measurements of cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) have demonstrated that depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores activates CCE. However, there is disagreement in published studies regarding the regul...

Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is a fundamental impairment in congestive heart failure (CHF). This study examined LV diastolic function in the canine model of CHF induced by chronic coronary embolization (CCE). Dogs were implanted with coronary catheters (both left anterior descending and circumflex arteries) for CCE and instrumented for measurement of LV pressure and dimension. He...

A collimated Au source was used to determine the charge collection efficiency (CCE) at several locations along the length of a 3.4 x 3.4 x 5.5 mm CdZnTe bar detector both in planar configuration and with Frisch collars of varying length. For each configuration, a 0.50 mm long region spanning the width of the device was irradiated with 411 keV gamma rays produced by a neutron activated gold foil...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To reiterate the necessity of integrating echocardiography in the management of shocked patients and to propose a step-by-step functional evaluation of hemodynamics proven to optimize hemodynamic monitoring and to adapt the treatment. RECENT FINDINGS Echocardiography has become the cornerstone to hemodynamic monitoring. By providing real-time images, echocardiography has the...
