From micro to macro, nanotechnology demystifies acute pancreatitis: a new generation of treatment options emerges

Abstract Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a disease characterized by an acute inflammatory response in the pancreas.This is caused by the abnormal activation of pancreatic enzymes by a variety of etiologic factors, which results in a localized inflammatory response.The symptoms of this disease include abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting and fever.These s

Seismic motion input methods of viscous-elastic boundary and numerical simulation of seismic response on large diameter tunnels

To determine the selection of input wave field at the bottom of the viscous-elastic boundary, and study the seismic response of two parallel large-diameter shield tunnels, corresponding numerical models were established for analysis.First, through the study of wave method for seismic motion input of viscous-elastic boundary, several different wave

Effects of Wing-Cuff on NACA 23015 Aerodynamic Performances

The main subject of this work is the numerical study control of flow separation on a NACA 23015 airfoil by using wing cuff.This last is a leading edge modification done to the wing.The modification consists of a slight extension of the chord on the outboard section of the wings.Different numerical cases are pink chiclets gum considered for the base

Evaluating the quality of peer interactions in children and adolescents with autism with the Penn Interactive Peer Play Scale (PIPPS)

Abstract Background A core difficulty for individuals with autism is making friends and successfully engaging and interacting with peers.The majority of measures to assess peer interactions are observations in a school setting or self-report.The present study examined the convergent validity of using a teacher rating scale, the Penn Interactive Pee
