Sir, Acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) is a life-threatening vascular emergency with an incidence estimated at 5-30 per 1 million people per year.[1] Available evidence support endovascular and surgical treatment for ABAD complicated by shock or organ damage. In uncomplicated ABAD, benefits of endovascular treatment are not well established and the preferred management mandates close clinic...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a conformational disease that is characterized by amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition in the brain. Aβ exerts its toxicity in part by receptor-mediated interactions that cause down-stream protein misfolding and aggregation, as well as mitochondrial dysfunction. Recent reports indicate that Aβ may also interact directly with intracellular proteins such as the mitochondrial enzy...

Using a new dataset, this paper presents new evidence on inequality in Latin America for the 19th century and studies the effects of factor endowments and trade on inequality. Recent research has highlighted the link between the colonial origins of inequality and its persistence in Latin America. We find that inequality varied substantially throughout the century a...

asmari formation was deposited in the foreland zagros basin (southwest iran). in this research, biostratigraphy related to the asmari formation in north of khorram abad, robat namaki section, is discussed. in the studied stratigraphic section, the asmari formation overlies the shahbazan formation and underlies gachsaran formation and consists of cream to gray medium to thick limestone and marl....

We report on a research effort aiming at the development of an acoustic bird activity detector (ABAD), which plays an important role for automating traditional biodiversity assessment studies – presently performed by human experts. The proposed on-line ABAD is considered an integral part of an automated system for acoustic identification of bird species, which is currently under development. In...

A topological duality for monadic n-valued Lukasiewicz algebras introduced by M. Abad (Abad, M.: Estructuras cíclica y monádica de un álgebra de Lukasiewicz nvalente. Notas de Lógica Matemática 36. Instituto de Matemática. Universidad Nacional del Sur, 1988) is determined. When restricted to the category of Q-distributive lattices and Q-homomorphims, it coincides with the duality obtained by R....
