Introduction . Currently, increasing the durability of road asphalt concrete pavements is one urgent issues, solution which provides a significant economic effect achieved by turnaround time, as well overall service life highways. Asphalt with prolonged wetting due to weakening structural bonds can be destroyed crumbling mineral grains, leads increased wear pavement and formation potholes. Wate...

OBJECTIVES Persisting air leakage after pulmonary resection remains a significant problem. The aim of the study was to evaluate the incidence of air leakage after standard lobectomy and test the efficacy and safety of TachoComb (TC). METHODS A total of 189 patients undergoing lobectomy were enrolled in a multi-centre, open, randomised, and prospective study to test the efficacy and safety of ...

In this paper we discuss once more the zero mode contribution to the vacuum energy density. We show that a careful treatment of the zero modes leads to the conclusion that domain walls may be ferromagnetic, and could generate a magnetic field of cosmological interest.

impact on VAP. Second, we disagree with the opinion that the orientation of the endotracheal tube below horizontal will result in reduced incidence of VAP for the reason that it is based on insufficient clinical data: three experimental animal (sheep) studies, a randomized controlled trial with 60 ventilated infants that compared the tracheal colonization rate and not the VAP incidence in supin...
