in this paper, the effect of penicillin g drug as a green corrosion inhibitor on mild steel in 1.0 mhydrochloric acid solution has been investigated using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy (eis) and electrochemical noise (en) techniques. the inhibition efficiencywas found to increase with increasing inhibitor concentration. potentiodynamic polarizationmeasureme...

Abstract Background Infective endocarditis (IE) requires a high degree of suspicion and advanced level multidisciplinary management. In 2015, the European guidelines recommended formation an endocarditis-team (ET) for optimal treatment IE. 2011, we already established ET within hospital that was only consulted on demand certain patients. Since has been increasingly involved in management almost...

Looking to the operation of an agent architecture, ie. its goal generation and maintenance processing, is relevant to understand fully how a moral based agent takes appropriate and diverse decisions within social situations of serious games. How decision does happen is a complex issue and the major motivation of this paper, and our answer, the proposal of a new architecture, is supported on the...

This study investigated the relationship between two components of reading ability (ie reading comprehension and reading vocabulary) and six dimensions of self-perception (ie perceived scholastic competence, perceived intellectual ability, perceived creativity, perceived job competence, perceived social acceptance, and perceived global self-worth) as factors impacting academic performance. The ...

Methods for information extraction (IE) and knowledge base (KB) construction have been intensively studied. However, a largely underexplored case is tapping into highly dynamic sources like news streams and social media, where new entities are continuously emerging. In this paper, we present a method for discovering and semantically typing newly emerging out-of-KB entities, thus improving the f...

1.2 Machine failure A system is composed of 5 components, each of which is either working or broken. Consider an experiment that consists of observing the status of each component, and let the outcome of the experiment be given by the vector (x1, x2, x3, x4, x5), where xi = 1 if component i works and 0 if component i is broken. 1. How many outcomes are in the sample space of this experiment? 2....

Neoplastic transformation is a complex process that results from multiple changes in gene activities. Probably most of these are mutational, i.e. alterations in the genomic structure of DNA, but others may be due to adaptive changes wherein genes are expressed that are inappropriate to a stage of development or differentiation. In this commentary neoplastic development is discussed in the conte...
