We demonstrate that the compressibility of spinel Si3N4 nanocrystals increases when the pressure is raised above ;40 GPa. Si3N4 nanocrystals initially exhibit an extremely high bulk modulus of 685~45! GPa. But, above 40 GPa, the bulk modulus is reduced to 415~10! GPa. Thus, a critical pressure of ;40 GPa was determined that signifies the onset of size-induced weakening of elastic stiffness in n...

The cross sections for the (8B,7Be-p) breakup reaction on 58Ni and 208Pb targets at the beam energies of 25.8 MeV and 415 MeV have been calculated within a one-step prior-form distorted-wave Born approximation. The relative contributions of Coulomb and nuclear breakup of dipole and quadrupole multipolarities as well as their interference have been determined. The nuclear breakup contributions a...

OBJECTIVE To estimate a safe minimum hospital volume for hospitals performing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. DATA SOURCE Hospital data on all publicly funded CABG in five European countries, 2007-2009 (106,149 patients). DESIGN Hierarchical logistic regression models to estimate the relationship between hospital volume and mortality, allowing for case mix. Segmented regression...

OBJECTIVES Hot flushes and night sweats often cause discomfort and may negatively affect sleep and quality of life. Studies have shown that menopausal symptoms, like hot flushes, may persist for up to 20 years after the menopausal transition, but there are no published studies regarding the occurrence of hot flushes among women older than 80 years. The aim of this study is to determine the prev...

Background EULAR developed recommendations for the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) suggesting treatment escalation and changes at different stages disease to reach least low activity with latest updates in 2013 (1) , 2016 (2) 2019 (3) . The recommendation consider adding a biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (bDMARD) – or, since 2016, Januskinase inhibitor (JAKi) after first ...
