The role of artificially created defects and steps in the local reaction kinetics of CO oxidation on the individual domains of a polycrystalline Pd foil was studied by photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM), mass spectroscopy (MS), and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The defects and steps were created by STM-controlled Ar+ sputtering and the novel PEEM-based approach allowed the simultan...

sublingual allergen immunotherapy (slit) is considered to be safer and more convenient than subcutaneus immunotherapy. slit trials with house dust mites involving patients with allergic rhinitis (ar) and asthma reported discordant results. the aim of the study was to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of slit with dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (d.pt) extract produced in serbia and pa...

Spectral and cross-spectral analysis of R-R interval and systolic arterial pressure (SAP) spontaneous fluctuations have been proposed for noninvasive evaluation of baroreflex sensitivity (BRS). However, results are not in good agreement with clinical measurements. In this study, a bivariate parametric autoregressive model with exogenous input (ARXAR model), able to divide the R-R variability in...
