The present research provides data on the density (ρ), viscosity (η) and ability to absorb carbon dioxide of systems containing amine, molecular solvent (MS) choline chloride (ChCl), with investigation physical properties both neat amine/MS/ChCl mixtures their samples after complete CO2 saturation. effect mixture composition was studied by varying amine from primary (monoethanolamine, MEA) seco...

Cake cutting is one of the most fundamental settings in fair division and mechanism design without money. In this paper, we consider different levels of three fundamental goals in cake cutting: fairness, Pareto optimality, and strategyproofness. In particular, we present robust versions of envy-freeness and proportionality that are not only stronger than their standard counter-parts but also ha...

Knowledge of neuronal cell types in the mammalian retina is important for the understanding of human retinal disease and the advancement of sight-restoring technology, such as retinal prosthetic devices. A somewhat less utilized animal model for retinal research is the hamster, which has a visual system that is characterized by an area centralis and a wide visual field with a broad binocular co...

24 Chemosensory cues signalling predators reliably stimulate innate defensive responses in 25 rodents. Despite the well documented role of the amygdala in predator odor-induced fear, 26 the relative contribution of the specific nuclei that comprise this structurally heterogeneous 27 structure is conflicting. In an effort to clarify this we examined neural activity, via 28 electrophysiological r...

A helicon plasma sputtering system is used to deposit small amounts of platinum on microporous carbon support composed of Vulcan XC 72 carbon particles (known as gas diffusion layer GDL) to form Pt catalysed electrodes for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). Electrodes with low Pt loading are prepared, assembled in custom-made membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) and tested for the hyd...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this prospective trial was to assess whether platelet reactivity to clopidogrel assessed with multiple electrode platelet aggregometry (MEA) correlates with the risk of early drug-eluting stent thrombosis (ST). BACKGROUND Studies using light transmission aggregometry (LTA) have shown that insufficient suppression of platelet reactivity to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) afte...
