Abstract The relationships between the polymerization related to structure and composition of different types natural resins were determined. Analyses carried out by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential thermal analysis–thermogravimetry (DTA-TG) hot stage microscopy (HSM). Copal specimens collected from Mai-Ndombe Lake, Democratic Republic Congo, amber pieces that came B...

A recent trend of research uses graphs to modelize experimental microarray data. Recently, we used graph separators to group a set of 40 genes from a yeast database of Saccharomyces cerevisiae into very coherent clusters. Here, we extend our investigation to all 518 genes of S. cerevisiae which have reacted during the sporulation process. We propose a recursive decomposition into coherent clust...

BACKGROUND In 2013 the Swiss Diagnosis Related Groups ((Swiss)-DRG) was implemented in Intensive Care Units (ICU). Its impact on hospitalizations has not yet been examined. We compared the number of ICU admissions, according to clinical severity and referring institution, and screened whether implementation of Swiss-DRG affected admission policy, ICU length-of-stay (ICU-LOS) or ICU mortality. ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Extremity soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are managed with radiotherapy and limb-sparing surgery however aggressive or recurrent cases require amputation. Hyperthermic isolated limb perfusion (HILP) has been proposed as an alternative. Our aim was to systematically review phase II HILP trials, assess tumor response, limb salvage (LS), and quality of scientific publications ...
