Spectral compression of femtosecond pulses by second harmonic generation in the presence of substantial group velocity dispersion provides a convenient source of narrowband Raman pump pulses for femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS). We discuss here a simple and efficient modification that dramatically increases the versatility of the second harmonic spectral compression technique. A...

This paper describes a realization of a bipolar current source developed by the paper's authors. The source is intended for use in galvanic and other industrial plants, where a pulse-reverse current supply (with the desired shape in time) is required. A prototype of the device, which provides the outcome current intensity up to ± 50 A, has been constructed. The hardware of the source consists o...

Methods A retrospective review of 91 patients with sepsis treated with antibiotics, IV fluids and NE for hypotension. Data on HDUand 30-day mortality, standardized mortality ratio (SMR) as well as adverse events (necrosis and arrhythmia) were collected. The route of administration of fluids and NE, via peripheral venous catheter (PVC) or central venous catheter (CVC), was registered. All patien...

Abstrad-Various control algorithms have been proposed in recent years to control chaotic systems. These methods are broadly classified into feedback and nonfeedback methods. In this paper, we make a critical analysis of nonfeedback methods such as (i) addition of constant bias, (ii) addition of second periodic force, (iii) addition of weak periodic pulse, and (iv) entrainment control. We apply ...

Pegfilgrastim is a long-acting granulocyte colony-stimulating factor formulation that has been approved for the prevention of febrile neutropenia. We herein report a case of interstitial pneumonia following administration of pegfilgrastim. A 65-year-old man with stage IV small-cell lung cancer was treated with carboplatin and etoposide as third-line chemotherapy. Pegfilgrastim was administered ...

BACKGROUND This randomized, double-blinded clinical study was designed to evaluate the efficiency and safety of remifentanil with ketorolac for IV PCA after laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy. METHODS Eighty patients were randomly allocated into four groups. Group R received IV PCA using only remifentanil at a basal rate of 0.025 µg/kg/min and a bolus of 0.375 µg/kg. Group RK1 receive...

This article is devoted to assessing the effectiveness of technical inspection condition and degree influence various factors on reliability buildings. Technical buildings structures an important procedure for making decisions about suitability structure its further operation. should be carried out by specialized accredited organizations that have necessary expertise equipment. Adverse environm...

Human granulocytes exposed to pulsed electric guiding fields were investigated. The trajectories were determined from digitized pictures (phase contrast). The basic results are: (i) No directed response was induced by pulsed electric guiding fields having a zero averaged field. (ii) A directed response was induced by pulsed electric guiding fields having a non-zero averaged field. (iii) The dir...

A 48-year-old woman with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) presented with generalized edema and arthralgia. She showed evidences of acute glomerulonephritis including nephrotic-ranged proteinuria. Because her serologic test results were consistent with those for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), we performed laparoscopic renal biopsy that confirmed World Health Organization...
