Eight digenetic trematode species (Phylum Platyhelminthes, Subclass Digena), one cestode species (Phylum Platyhelminthes, Class Cestoidea) and three nematode species (Phylum Nematoda) were recovered from the little brown bat, Motis lucifu us, at the Neda Mine hibernacu1um in southeastern Wisconsin. Bats displayed a rich and diverse helminth fauna throu~hout the year. Statistically significant s...

The low-lying excited states in the neutron-deficient N=Z+1 nucleus Tc444387 have been studied via fusion-evaporation reaction Fe54(Ar36, 2n1p)Tc87 at Grand Accélérateur National d'Ions Lourds (GANIL), France. AGATA spectrometer was used conjunction with auxiliary NEDA, Neutron Wall, and DIAMANT detector arrays to measure coincident prompt γ rays, neutrons, charged particles emitted reaction. A...

Abstract Background Conventionally, stroke volume index (SVI) ≤35ml/m2 is considered as “low-flow” in severe aortic stenosis (AS). Recent evidence suggests a lower threshold SVI (30ml/m2) may be more prognostically informative. Objectives To assess the association between and survival patients with low-gradient AS, either preserved (LVEF ≥50%) or reduced (LVEF<50%) ejection fraction. Met...

A high-performance 1D-DCT architecture is proposed. It is based on the New Distributed Arithmetic Architecture algorithm (NEDA) [1]. Enhancements to NEDA are proposed to reduce the number of computations. Only addition operations are used, with 42 additions to compute the outputs for a 8x1 DCT. No subtractions, multiplications, or ROM are needed. High-throughput is achieved by pipelining the ar...

to estimate combining ability and the model of gene action for some quantitative characters, 5 different rice genotypes were used for producing a half diallel hybrids. to consider 7 quantitative traits, hybrids and their corresponding parents were evaluated based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the rice research station of amol, iran in 2007. mean squares regard...

Abstract Background In aortic stenosis (AS), overestimation of pressure gradients by Doppler compared to catheter-based measurement can be adjusted for accounting the pressure-recovery, expressed as an energy-loss index (ELI). However, evidence improved risk assessment ELI instead valve area indexed body-surface (AVAi) is scarce. Purpose We aimed evaluate prognostic performance and AVAi in a he...
