Psoriasis and multiple sclerosis (MS) are physiologically distinct yet share genetic signals have overlapping pathogenesis. Previous studies suggest psoriasis patients at greater risk of MS than the general population, two diseases also comorbidities traits (for example, they both more prevalent in northern latitudes). To evaluate whether there is a direct causal relationship, we conducted Mend...

Among empirical disciplines, computer science and the engineering fields share the distinction of creating their own subject matter, raising questions about the kinds of knowledge they engender. The authors argue that knowledge acquisition in computer science fits models as diverse as those proposed by Piaget and Lakatos. However, contrary to natural science, the knowledge acquired by computer ...

In this Letter, we present a passively Q-switched Yb:Y2O3 waveguide laser using evanescent-field interaction with an atmospheric-pressure-chemical-vapor-deposited graphene saturable absorber. The waveguide, pumped by a broad area diode laser, produced an average output power of 456 mW at an absorbed power of 4.1 W. The corresponding pulse energy and peak power were 330 nJ and 2 W, respectively....

The structure of the title compound, C(14)H(13)BrO(2), which contains a norbornenyl group and a 4-bromo-benzoate ester at the single C-atom bridge, has been redetermined [see McDonald & Trotter (1965 ▶). Acta Cryst.19, 456-463] to modern standards to establish high-precision geometrical data to compare with norbornyl and other tetra-cyclic 4-bromo-benzoates. Possible structural evidence is soug...

glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) deficiency is the most important disease of the hexose monophosphate pathway. deficiency of this enzym can lead to hemolysis of red blood cells. our aim was to study the prevalence of g6pd deficiency in relation to neonatal jaundice. we studied 456 clinically icteric neonates laboratory investigations included determination of direct and indirect serum b...
