The natural history of the LV systolic function (LV-SF) and functional capacity of survivors of heart transplantation (Htx) has not been defined. Some investigators suggest that SF may be different in recipients with different pre-transplant aetiologies: ischaemic or dilated, idiopathic disease. Routine transthoracic echocardiograms (TTE) were performed during a 1-year follow-up in 48 Htx recip...

Mutants of Salmonella typhimurium defective in cytidine 5'-monophosphate (CMP) kinase (cmk) have been isolated. The mutants also lack the ability to phosphorylate 2'-deoxyCMP, indicating that one enzyme is responsible for the phosphorylation of both CMP and deoxyCMP to the corresponding diphosphates. In glucose minimal medium the mutants grow at the same rate as the parental strain; however, th...

In this article, the authors report experimental results of the chemical mechanical polishing CMP of silicon dioxide SiO2 and polysilicon to produce nanoscale features with very smooth surfaces. The sizes of the features polished ranged from 30 to 500 nm. For polysilicon polishing, the nanostructures were defined in positive tone e-beam resist and the pattern was transferred to the oxide substr...

UDP-sugars serve as ultimate precursors in hundreds of glycosylation reactions (e.g. for protein and lipid glycosylation, synthesis of sucrose, cell wall polysaccharides, etc.), underlying an important role of UDP-sugar-producing enzymes in cellular metabolism. However, genetic studies on mechanisms of UDP-sugar formation were frequently hampered by reproductive impairment of the resulting muta...

While Chip Multiprocessors (CMP) with Speculative Multithreading (SM) have been gaining momentum, experienced processor designers in industry have reservations about their practical implementation. In particular, it is felt that SM is too energy-inefficient to compete against conventional superscalars. This paper challenges the commonly-held view that SM consumes excessive energy. We show a CMP...

Chip multiprocessors (CMPs) aim to develop both instruction-level and thread-level parallelisms to boost a system’s performance. However, according to previous research results, CMPs outperform superscalar processors only in floating-point applications. Therefore, we have proposed a novel microprocessor, supporting two execution modes, to allow users to manually choose an appropriate mode to ex...

Isolated left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a rare variant of unclassifiable cardiomyopathy (CMP). The basis the clinical picture CMP heart failure, arrhythmias, and thromboembolism. Acute cardiac extracardiac diseases can act as trigger for LVNC manifestation. paper provides an example diagnosing in adult patient after acute myocarditis against background vaccination new coronavirus inf...

Active inclusion bodies of polyphosphate kinase 3 and cytidine 5'-monophosphate kinase were combined with whole cells that co-express sialic acid aldolase and CMP-sialic acid synthetase. The biocatalytic mixture was used for the synthesis of CMP-sialic acid, which was then converted to 3'-sialyllactose by whole cells.

The Ca Mau peninsula (CMP) is a key economic region in southern Vietnam. In recent decades, the high demand for water has increased exploitation of groundwater, thus lowering groundwater level and leading to risks degradation, depletion, land subsidence, as well salinity intrusion whole Mekong Delta region. By using finite element model with boundary expansion sea, we updated latest data on hyd...
