IIn this work, carboxymethyl cellulose/polyanionic cellulose (CMC HV/PAC LV) films were prepared and exposed to different X-ray doses (0, 200, 400, 600 and 800 cGy).Absorption and transmission measurements of the ultraviolet spectrum of the incident light were studied with a DU 800 spectrophotometer.Stress and strain were calculated by applying a t
This study examines the experiences of theological library deans and directors in the United States and Canada as they navigated the COVID-19 pandemic.Survey and interview data gathered in spring and fall 2020 provide insight about how Warming Equipment:Other Commercial Warming Equipment library leaders managed change and uncertainty, including the
The outcomes of relapsed Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ALL) resistant to new drugs such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO) and blinatumomab are dismal.We treated two cases of Ph+ALL resistant to these drugs that achieved long-term survival after treatment with chimeric antigen receptor (CA
Tissue dehydration results in three major types of exsiccosis--hyper-, hypo-, or isonatraemia.All three types entail alterations of salt concentrations leading to impaired biochemical processes, and can finally cause severe morbidity.The aim of our study was to demonstrate the feasibility of a microwave-based sensor technology for the non-invasive
We consider the collaborative use of amplify-and-forward relays to form a beamforming system and provide physical layer security for a wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) communication network.We investigate two objectives: (i) the achievable secrecy rate maximization subject to the relay power constraint and (ii) the relay transmit power minimizatio
