Cryptophane-111 is one of the best candidates for (129)Xe MRI-based applications. Herein, we report the first metal-free and water-soluble cryptophane-111 core which involves an efficient and unusual post-synthetic sulfonation procedure.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the application action research methodology in compulsory course titled “Choreology with emphasis on Greek traditional dance” School Physical Education and Sport Science National Kapodistrian University Athens, based experiences self-reflection researcher himself, concerning data collected from participants research. For that purpose, ethnographic was conduc...

Purpose Congruent with the world-wide call to combat global warming concerns and advance intellectual capital (IC), organisations are being pressured ensure that IC is managed effectively encourage green initiatives. In this regard, entrepreneurial orientation (GEO) emerged as a relevant IC. GEO recognised mitigating factor of environmental degradation in literature. Although prior literature h...

Problematic. At adaptation of a design discs rotor air gas-turbine drives (GTD) it is necessary to conduct, in particular, strength calculations for what create the computer models corresponding stated designs (delineations) and operation conditions. If creation geometrical part model does not call special difficulties algorithm an finite-element grid carrying out performances disc stress-strai...

Drug repositioning offers the significant advantage of greatly reducing cost and time drug discovery by identifying new therapeutic indications for existing drugs. In particular, computational approaches using networks in have attracted attention inferring potential associations between drugs diseases efficiently based on network connectivity. this article, we proposed a network-based method to...

Gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTDs) are disorders with abnormal growth of the placenta. They are always associated with a conception.(1) Choriocarcinoma that is a malignant type of GTD, can spread virtually anywhere in the body through hematogenous or lymphatic route, but it most commonly spreads to lung, lower genital tract (cervix, vagina, and vulva), brain, and liver.(2) We report a ca...

Two-timescale Stochastic Approximation (SA) algorithms are widely used in Reinforcement Learning (RL). In such methods, the iterates consist of two parts that are updated using different stepsizes. We develop the first convergence rate result for these algorithms; in particular, we provide a general methodology for analyzing two-timescale linear SA. We apply our methodology to two-timescale RL ...

BACKGROUND The placenta is of utmost importance for intrauterine fetal development and growth. Deregulation of placentation can lead to adverse outcomes for both mother and fetus, e.g. gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD), pre-eclampsia and fetal growth retardation. A significant factor in placental development and function is epigenetic regulation. METHODS This review summarizes the curre...
