aortopulmonary window (apw) is a rare congenital malformation. it results from an incomplete division between the ascending aorta and the pulmonary artery. we describe a 26-year-old male, who presented with a grade ii exertional dyspnea and palpitations. echocardiography revealed an apw with an ascending aorta aneurysm. he underwent surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass without aortic cross-clam...

In this work, we analyze in detail the relation between electronic structure and fluorine nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) shielding in a series of solid state alkali fluorides (LiF, NaF, KF, RbF, and CsF). For that purpose, we use solid-state NMR calculations implemented in the density functional theory full potential WIEN2K code (APW+ lo). Both measurements and calculations show that the NMR ...

The APW is a s...

The electronic structure and the corresponding B K and N K near-edge x-ray fine structure (NEXAFS) spectra of epitaxially grown h-BN on Ni(111), Pt(111), and Rh(111) surfaces are investigated by density functional theory. The calculations are carried out using the WIEN2k program package applying the augmented-plane-wave+local orbitals (APW+lo) method. The NEXAFS spectra are simulated using a 3 ...

Hotspot tracks represent plate motions relative to mantle sources, and paleomagnetic data from magmatic units along those tracks can quantify motions of those mantle anomalies relative to the Earth’s magnetic field and rotational axis. The Ediacaran Period is notable for rapid and large paleomagnetic apparent polar wander (APW) for many continents. Whereas magmatic units attributed to the “Sutt...

Aorto-pulmonary window is a relatively rare congenital cardiac malformation with an overall incidence of 0.1%. Pulmonary hypertension develops quickly if the lesion is left untreated hence early surgical intervention is warranted after diagnosis. The surgery for correction of APW has evolved over years, currently an open repair on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with a single patch technique yield...

This article reconstructs David Harvey’s accumulation by dispossession (ABD) theory aimed at explaining the specifics of capital under neoliberal capitalism. Reaching back to thought Marx and Rosa Luxemburg, Harvey proposed an impressive qualitative change within capitalist mode production. However, as his critics have convincingly presented, concept struggles with problems presented in text. T...
