The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of various head injury criteria and associated risk functions in prediction of vulnerable road users (VRUs) severe head injuries caused by ground impact during vehicle collisions. Ten VRU accidents with video information were reconstructed by using Chalmers Pedestrian Model, vehicle…[Read more]

ut the programme is the first action the programme administrators should take. Agreement on goals and the means to achieve them would lower tension between the two arms of a hybrid design programme, thereby reducing resistance to change. Congruence between the goals communicated and the actual managerial and executive actions is of paramount…[Read more]

BACKGROUND The prognosis of the glioblastoma (GBM) is dismal. This study aims to select an optimal RNA signature for prognostic prediction of GBM patients. METHODS For the training set, the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and mRNA expression profiles of 151 patients were downloaded from the TCGA. Differentially expressed mRNAs (DEGs) and lncRNAs…[Read more]

After a linear growth during September, the diffusion in Italy of SARS-CoV-2, responsible for COVID-19, has been growing exponentially since the end of that month with a doubling time approximately equal to one week […].It is the ambition of many researchers to finally be able to close in on the fundamental, coupled phenomena that occur during…[Read more]

0 (CC BY-NC).The lithium metal anode (LMA) is considered as a promising star for next-generation high-energy density batteries but is still hampered by the severe growth of uncontrollable lithium dendrites. Here, we design “spansules” made of NaMg(Mn)F3@C core@shell microstructures as the matrix for the LMA, which can offer a long-lasting release…[Read more]

Therefore, these data suggest that talin2 regulates extracellular matrix degradation and invadopodium maturation by mediating MMP9 secretion. V.Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) can cause hepatic failure and result in drug withdrawal from the market. It has host-related and compound-dependent mechanisms. Preclinical prediction of DILI risk is very…[Read more]

ional benefits could be found for late 18F-PSMA-11 imaging. Ex vivo biodistribution demonstrated fast renal clearance of 18F-PSMA-11 as well as no significant increase in bone uptake.Dy3+ doped β-Ca2P2O7 phosphor has been synthesized using wet chemical method. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM)…[Read more]

OBJECTIVES The terminology used to describe community participation in Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is contested and frequently confusing. The terms patients, consumers, public, lay members, customers, users, citizens, and others have been variously used, sometimes interchangeably. Clarity in the use of terms and goals for including the…[Read more]

Micro-oxygenation (Mox) is a common technique used to stabilize color and reduce harsh astringency in red wines. Here, we investigate the role of residual sugars, phenolics, SO2, and yeast on the oxidation of wine in three studies. In a Mox experiment, populations of yeasts emerged after the loss of SO2, and this was associated with sharp…[Read more]

However, a small number of particles cannot maintain the seal of the concentration interface then demonstrates miscible behavior. The mixing mechanism of the suspended particles at the concentration interface is strongly related to the miscible and immiscible characteristics of the interface. The cellulose, which is one of the most abundant solid…[Read more]

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) on mechanically exfoliated 2D layered materials spontaneously produces network patterns of metal oxide nanoparticles in triangular and linear deposits on the basal surface. The network patterns formed under a range of ALD conditions and were independent of the orientation of the substrate in the ALD reactor. The…[Read more]
