Abstract Background The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying multiple sclerosis include both inflammatory and degenerative processes. We aimed to study compare markers of neuroinflammation neurodegeneration in patients with first presentation demyelinating disorder prospectively identify which the studied serve as predictors for early conversion sclerosis. Thus, 42 clinical manifestations s...

We examined the efficacy and safety of intravenous amiodarone in 20 unselected patients with recent-onset atrial fibrillation who were admitted to a general internal medicine department during a 6-month period. The treatment protocol included a loading dose of 1200 mg intravenous amiodarone in 24 hours, after which amiodarone treatment was continued orally. Eleven of the 20 patients (55%) conve...

The distinct disperion properties of higher-order modes in optical fibers permit the nonlinear generation of radiation deeper into the ultraviolet than is possible with the fundamental mode. This is exploited using adiabatic, broadband mode convertors to couple light efficiently from an input fundamental mode and also to return the generated light to an output fundamental mode over a broad spec...

A 140 GHz transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) chip set has been developed in 65 nm CMOS by using on– off keying non-coherent modulation to support high speed proximity data communication. To the author’s best knowledge, it enables the first integrated multi-Gbps data link in D-band by saving power hungry frequency synthesizer, high speed data convertors and complicated digital signal processor. ...

In this paper, an overview of the techniques applied to AC electric propulsion field has been done. Actual study cases of electric ship propulsion schemes are considered. An impartial comparison between three-level converters versus two-level converter from the viewpoint of electric ship propulsion requirements has been done. Diodeclamped three-level converters using direct torque control (DTC)...
