Analytical methods capable of trace measurement of semivolatile organic compounds (SOCs) are necessary to assess the exposure of tadpoles to contaminants as a result of long-range and regional atmospheric transport and deposition. The present study compares the results of two analytical methods, one using pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) and the other using matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSP...

Primary lymphedema (PLE) is an uncommon diagnosis in veterinary medicine, with most of the previously described cases showing lower limb edema associated a guarded long-term prognosis. To authors’ knowledge, this case report describes first localized unilaterally to facial region one-year-old German Shorthair Pointer, which indirect CT-lymphography, combined histopathologic examination skin, re...

In this paper, we propose and discuss four fitness features considered as essential for developing personal learning environments (PLE) that are viable and ready for appropriation.

Abstract Background: Fontan circulation can be associated with significant morbidity, especially Protein-Losing Enteropathy (PLE). Echocardiographic parameters provide valuable diagnostic information about a patient’s risk of developing PLE after surgery. Objectives: To describe echocardiographic/ultrasonographic in patients surgery through systematic review meta-analysis. Methods: A literature...

Recently cubic (c-) GaN/InxGa1-xN/GaN double heterostructures and quantum wells have been grown by MBE and MOCVD [1-3]. Contrary to their hexagonal counterparts, the cubic structures can be grown free from modulation due to spontaneous polarization and strain-induced piezoelectric fields. The spatial separation of the carriers wave function, induced by the quantum-confined Stark effect in the h...

This paper aims to develop a system dynamics model in order to formalize causal interdependencies between safety factors (technical, organizational and human). These factors define safety conditions in a complex industrial system. It is a systemic approach founded on the method of system dynamics and the case study is a storage unit for chemical products located in Morocco. System dynamics usin...

Introduction. Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis (PLE) is a rare disorder that typically follows a chronic or subacute course of personality changes, memory loss, seizures, and hallucinations. Early diagnosis is difficult and characteristic symptoms can be mimicked by a variety of conditions. We present a case of PLE, initially presenting as acute herpetic encephalitis. Case Presentation. A 56-...
