INTRANASAL ADMINISTRATION OF POLYSULFIDE PREVENTS NEURODEGENERATION IN SPINAL CORD AND RESCUES MICE FROM DELAYED PARAPLEGIA AFTER SPINAL CORD ISCHEMIA

Background: Delayed paraplegia is a devastating complication of thoracoabdominal aortic surgery.Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) was reported to be protective in a mouse model of spinal cord ischemia and the beneficial effect of H2S has been attributed to polysulfides.The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of polysulfides on delayed parap

The fast growing popularity of smartphones and tablets enables us to use various intelligent mobile applications.As many of those applications require position information, smart mobile devices provide positioning methods such as Global Positioning System (GPS), WiFi-based positioning system (WPS), or Cell-ID-based positioning service.However, thos

This work is aimed at investigating the capabilities and limits of the mid-fidelity numerical solver DUST for the evaluation of wind turbines aerodynamic performance.In particular, this study was conducted by analysing the benchmarks NREL-5 MW and Phase VI wind turbines, widely investigated in the literature via experimental and numerical activitie

The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is commonly used to evaluate the accuracy of a diagnostic test for classifying observations into two groups.We propose two novel tuning parameters for estimating the ROC curve via Bernstein polynomial smoothing of the empirical ROC minnie mouse beach umbrella curve.The new estimator is very easy to

The Neutrosophic Numeral System Algorithms merits battery charger are a set of techniques designed to handle uncertainty and ambiguity in numerical data.These algorithms use Neutrosophic Set Theory, a mathematical framework that deals with incomplete, indeterminate, and inconsistent information.In this paper, we provide an overview of different app
