Objective: The aim of this study is to compare early and follow-up outcomes late open conversions (LOC, with complete or partial endograft explantation) semi-conversions (SC, preservation) after endovascular aneurysm repair in a multicenter experience. Methods: All LOC SC performed from 1997 2020 11 vascular centers were compared. Endograft infections thrombosis excluded. Primary endpoints mort...

The deep crustal deformation in the east Pamir response to Cenozoic collision with Tien Shan and Tarim Basin is so far poorly constrained. We present new insights into structure of its surrounding regions using P receiver functions from 40 temporary permanent seismic stations. thickness reaches a maximum 88 km beneath central southern decreases sharply 50–60 along 41–50 below Basin. most promin...

In Table S1, we provide information on the events we used for the receiver functions (RFs). The time-axis RFs are shown in Figure S1. With Figure S2 and Text S1, we derive the relationship between the change in estimated Moho depth and the change in the Vp/Vs ratio used in the reference model to convert Ps arrival time to depth. With Figure S3 and Text S2, we rationalize our observation of posi...

The effects of pH and sulfonated lignin (SL) on the saccharification of enzymatic hydrolysis were investigated using acid bisulfite (AS)and green liquor (GL)-pretreated poplar as substrates. The enzymatic sugar conversions of ASand GL-pretreated poplar could reach high levels at pH 4.8. The sugar conversions of both ASand GL-pretreated poplar solids increased when hydrophilic SL was used as an ...

MCM-41@L-Arg@Pd(0) has been prepared by some consequence reactions. This nano structural material has been characterized via different technique including: XRD, TGA, BET, EDS, X-Ray maps, SEM, ICP-OES and FT-IR analysis. The synthesis of a variety of biphenyl compounds has been achieved successfully via a reaction of aryl halides with arylboronic acids in the presence of this nanostructure (MCM...

The ability to manipulate the temporal dependencies in coded video data is important for a number of compressed-domain video processing tasks. This paper formulates the general problem and examines it in the context of MPEG. This is used to develop a method for performing frame conversions in MPEG coded video data. These frame conversions are used to develop compressed-domain video processing a...

We consider the problem of analyzing and proving correct simple closure conversion strategies for a higher-order functional language. We specify the conversions as deductive systems, making use of annotated types to provide constraints which guide the construction of the closures. We exploit the ability of deductive systems to specify concisely complex relationships between source terms and clo...
