We tested the hypothesis that religiosity (ie, seeking God's help, having faith in God, trusting in God, and trying to perceive God's will in the disease) is associated with improved survival in patients with end-stage liver disease who have undergone orthotopic liver transplantation. We studied a group of 179 candidates for liver transplantation who responded to a questionnaire on religiosity ...

Continuous alterations and extensions of a software system introduce so called god classes, accumulating ever more responsibilities. As god classes make essential steps in program comprehension harder, it is expected that effective and efficient techniques to resolve them will facilitate future maintenance tasks. This work reports on a laboratory experiment with 63 computer science students, in...

A three-dimensionally (3D) ordered freestanding porous platinum (Pt) nanowire array electrode (PPNWAE) with pores of several nanometers in size and a Pt nanowire array electrode (PNWAE) without pores were facilely fabricated by metal electrodeposition and direct integration with a Pt disk electrode. The unusual PPNWAE with high active area showed excellent sensitivity (0.36 mA cm(-2) mM(-1)) an...
