Whtle many people report interruptions from problem-solking to be beneficial for the creative process (‘incubation’). experimental demonstration of the phenomenon has been difficult. Factors that might lead to incubation effects are discussed and implemented in a study in which SO university students solved u-ord-association problems under continuous work or interrupted condttions. The interrup...

Background Anthracyclines are important components of many chemotherapeutic protocols. The present study aimed to evaluate the repolarization changes in electrocardiography (ECG) which may predict drug induced arrhythmia. Materials and Methods In this cross-sectional study, the recorded ECGs were assessed for QT dispersion (QTd), QT corrected dispersion (QTcd), T peak to Tend dispersion (TPe...

[1] Estimates of fossil fuel CO2 are a critical component in atmospheric CO2 inversions. Rather than solving for this portion of the atmospheric CO2 budget, inversions typically include estimates of fossil fuel CO2 as a known quantity. However, this assumption may not be appropriate, particularly as inversions continue to solve for fluxes at reduced space and timescales. In this study, two diff...

In the context of Beijing’s accelerated economic growth, a high urbanization rate and associated urban problems pose challenges. We collected panel data for the period 2005–2014 to examine the relationship between Beijing’s urbanization efficiency and economic growth rate as well as its spatial patterns of dynamic and static urbanization efficiency. Specifically, we developed a comprehensive in...

In this study, a novel mesoporous silica nanoparticles drug carrier contributes to improving the solubility, dissolution, and the oral bioavailability of apigenin (AP). The apigenin of solid dispersion of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (AP-MSN) was prepared by physical absorption method and also, in-vitro drug release and in-vivo bioavailability performance were evaluated. Based on its solubil...

Standard face recognition algorithms that use standard feature extraction techniques always suffer from image performance degradation. Recently, singular value decomposition and low-rank matrix are applied in many applications,including pattern recognition and feature extraction. The main objective of this research is to design an efficient face recognition approach by combining many tech...

Abstract The urban expansion from the city center to suburb and beyond is indicated by Shannon entropy, a robust versatile measure of sprawl. However, metropolitan regionwide entropy masks morphology land cover use consequential within city-region. To surmount limitation, we focus on block-group, which US census defined socio-spatial unit that identifies region’s development pattern structurall...

This article presents the approach and current findings of the EO2HEAVEN project, in particular from the Saxony Case Study. The aim of the Case Study is the conceptual design of a Spatial Information Infrastructure for better understanding the complex relationship between ambient air quality and its influence on the human health. This includes air quality modelling and a statistical analysis of...

This manuscript presents an overview of the current experimental situation regarding nucleon decay and the measured flux of atmospheric neutrinos. Previous and on-going experiments are reviewed, the data are presented, and new outstanding questions are posed. The SuperKamiokande project is described and its expected sensitivity for improving measurements of the nucleon lifetime and the atmosphe...

Let Ng(d) be the set of primes p such that the order of g modulo p, ordp(g), is divisible by a prescribed integer d. Wiertelak showed that this set has a natural density, δg(d), with δg(d) ∈ Q>0. Let Ng(d)(x) be the number of primes p ≤ x that are in Ng(d). A simple identity for Ng(d)(x) is established. It is used to derive a more compact expression for δg(d) than known hitherto.
