1 A typical case of readmission refers to hospital admissions within 30 days after the initial discharge, which can occur at either the same hospital or a different one.2,3 It has been documented that readmission rates are associated with age, patient comorbidities, diagnostics, length of stay ...
The increase in processing power has been achieved by making transistors smaller to fit more on a single chip: from 10.000 nm in 1970 to 14 nm currently. In doing this, the industry benefited from a unique quality of transistors: they get better and more energy efficient as they get...
This basic assumption of goal setting theory – developed by Locke and Latham at the end of the 80s for the individual level –, has been analyzed for the organization and system levels by control management scholars. Literature and experience on goal setting showed that assigning targets is not...
we knew very little of its molecular mechanism, but in the last 20 years, this has changed dramatically. Lubinska in the 1970s and early 1980s had moved beyond Waller’s original concept that injured axons die passively because they lack “nourishment...
Botulinum neurotoxin serotype A (BoNTA) is the most toxic substance known to man with an estimated intravenous lethal dose (LD50) of 1–2 nanogram per kilogram (ng/kg) in humans [23]. Now, however, the lethal toxin has been developed as a safe medicinal product for clinical pharmacotherapy...
kawamurai appears to have entered a hypometabolic state of hibernation, whereas its mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation was affected at both 2 ◦C and 40 ◦C. The majority of mitochondrial PCGs exhibited substantial changes at all three temperatures, indicating that frogs such as F. kawamurai...
Never- theless, the cell-size perspective deserves more attention than it has been given, because it offers a potentially fruitful way to link regulatory and metabolic machinery at the cellular level to the physiology of metabolic scaling at the organismal level (see also Section 4). Future ...
Right now, demand for PPEs, which are made from plastic, has outstripped supply in the world. Shield masks have become the most sought-after materials nearly globally, as everybody is trying to obtain at least one PPE. High-quality N95 respirators with high filtering power are in even ...
Surveys of households are conducted using a representative method based on a random sample, which gives the opportunity to generalize the obtained results for all households in the country. Since 1993, the HBS has been conducted using a total monthly rotation in a quarterly cycle. The "quarterly...
[33] and compared in terms of quality of the harmonic components derivative and interpretation results. Furthermore, the four detrending algorithms were applied to a real case in which temporary test interruptions due to operational constraints negatively affected pressure response periodicity. 2. ...
