This contribution presents the formalism of Elementary Object Systems (Eos). Object nets are Petri nets which have Petri nets as tokens – an approach known as the nets-within-nets paradigm. Since object nets in general are immediately Turing complete, we introduce the restricted class of elementary object nets which restrict the nesting of nets to the depth of two. In this work we study the rel...

BACKGROUND Sepsis is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Clinical suspicion may lead to overuse of antibiotics. The objective of this study was to assess the epidemiology of early-onset sepsis (EOS) and antibiotic exposure during the first week of life in Norwegian term infants. METHODS This is a nationwide population-based study from the Norwegian Neonatal Network. During th...

This paper reports a numerical investigation of the transcritical droplet vaporization phenomena. The simulation is based on the time-dependent conservation equations for liquid and gas phases, pressure-dependent variable thermophysical properties, and a detailed treatment of liquid-vapor phase equilibrium at the droplet surface. The numerical solution of the two-phase equations employs an arbi...

BACKGROUND Eosinophils (EOS) have been associated with prognosis of patients with coronary artery disease, and those who showed plenitudinous coronary collateral circulation (CCC) often have good clinical consequences. However, the relationship between EOS and CCC was seldom reported. OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between EOS and CCC development in patients with unstable angina pe...

Background: Pittosporum tobira (Thunb.) Aiton is an aromatic medicinal plant widely cultivated in the world. However, the essential oils (EOs) from P. tobira flowers for anti-cancer potential is still not systematically studied. The present aim to elucidate the phytochemical composition of the EOs and to explore mechanism of anticancer action. Methods: The EOs were extracted and analyzed by hea...

BACKGROUND Essential Oils (EOs) possess antibacterial properties and represent a natural source to treat infections and prevent food spoilage. Their chemical composition might be affected by the environmental condition and the developmental growth stages of the plant. OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to determine the variations in chemical compositions and antimicrobial activities of the EO...

Natural antimicrobials as well as essential oils (EOs) have gained interest to inhibit pathogenic microorganisms and to control food borne diseases. Campylobacter spp. are one of the most common causative agents of gastroenteritis. In this study, cardamom, cumin, and dill weed EOs were evaluated for their antibacterial activities against Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli by using agar...

The transport properties of a fluid show complex dependence with temperature and pressure due to the combination different phenomena occurring at microscopic scale. entropy scaling concept aims describing this behavior by expressing reduced as one-variable functions Tv-residual entropy, thermodynamic quantity that can be straightforwardly estimated an equation state (EoS). In work, reformulated...

Developing a modeling method for determining the solubilities of metal complexes in supercritical CO2 is crucial designing an effective CO2-based deposition technique. This study aimed to model solubility ferrocene, typical precursor metallic iron, CO2, which was achieved using perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory (PC-SAFT) conjunction with experimental data organic solvents. Pu...

We use Wetterich’s parameterization equation of state (EOS) of dark energy to a 5D Ricci-flat cosmological solution and we suppose the universe contains three major components: matter, radiation and dark energy. By using the relation between the scale factor and the redshift z, we show that the two arbitrary functions contained in the 5D solution could be solved out analytically in terms of the...
