This study examined the social and demographic factors that affect women’s attitudes towards assisted reproductive technology (ART) in general, as well as their opinions of specific issues related to ...

Some new generalizations of the result of L. Bougoffa [J. Inequal. Pure Appl. Math. 7 (2) (2006), Art. 60] are derived and discussed.

Counting inversions is a classic and important problem in databases. The number of inversions, K∗, in a list L = (L(1), L(2), . . . , L(n)) is defined as the number of pairs i < j with L(i) > L(j). In this paper, new results for this problem are presented: 1. In the I/O-model, an adaptive algorithm is presented for calculating K∗. The algorithm performs O( B + N B logM/B( K∗ NB )) I/Os. When K∗...

BACKGROUND Arterial Remodeling Technologies bioresorbable scaffold (ART-BRS), composed of l- and d-lactyl units without drug, has shown its safety in a porcine coronary model at 6 months. However, long-term performance remains unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ART-BRS compared to a bare metal stent (BMS) in a healthy porcine coronary model for up to 3 years.
