"> Phase inversion phenomenon occurs in many industrial processes including liquidliquid dispersions. Some parameters such as energy input or the presence of mineral compounds in the system affect this phen...

Background: Adverse effects of high parathormone hormone (PTH) in critical illness have been described in some studies.  Objective: The relationship between high PTH levels with mortality in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 was evaluated in the present study. Methods: A total of 123 patients were included in the study. The patients were evaluated in phase 1 (on admission) and phase 2 (days...

We show (under mild topological assumptions) that small oscillation of the unit normal vector implies Reifenberg flatness. We then apply this observation to the study of chord-arc domains and to a quantitative version of a two-phase free boundary problem for harmonic measure previously studied by Kenig-Toro [KT06].

In MaxSat, we ask for an assignment which satisfies the maximum number of clauses for a boolean formula in CNF. We present an algorithm yielding a run time upper bound of O∗(2 K 6.2158 ) for Max2-Sat (each clause contains at most 2 literals), where K is the number of clauses. The run time has been achieved by using heuristic priorities on the choice of the variable on which we branch. The imple...

The effects of pentaand hexadecanoic acids on the population and orientational structure of p-nitrophenol, at the airlwater interface at a bulk pH of 2, have been studied by using the technique of second-harmonic generation. The results indicate that, with increasing fatty acid at the interface, (1) the population of p-nitrophenol at the airlwater interface first increases and then decreases, (...

background: severe metabolic acidosis occurs during orthotopic liver transplantation (olt) particularly during the anhepatic phase. although nahco3 is considered as the current standard therapy, there are numerous adverse effects. the aim of this study was to determine whether the restricted use of normal saline during anesthesia could reduce the need for nahco3. methods: in this study we enrol...
