Online In neurosurgery intensive care units, cerebrovascular reactivity tests for neuromonitoring are used to evaluate the status of cerebral blood flow autoregulation; lack of autoregulation indicates a poor patient outcome.The goal of neuromonitoring is to prevent secondary injuries following a primary central nervous system injury, when the brai

As a no-disturbance integrated-retrofitting technique, an external rocking frame was widely used on reinforced concrete (RC) structures.Yet, with the increasing demand for seismic strengthening of existing buildings, it has become a concern to evaluate the seismic strengthening schemes based on seismic resilience.Firstly, the dynamic equation of th

The guava fruit fly, Bactrocera correcta, is one of the major pests affecting mango (Mangifera indica) and guava (Psidium guajava) production in China.The compound β-caryophyllene was identified from the rectal gland extracts of wild B.correcta males and was demonstrated to be a more specific and potent male lure than methyl eugenol (ME) for B

In order to estimate the hazard rate distribution of the largest seismic events in Vrancea, South-Eastern Carpathians, we study temporal properties of historical and instrumental catalogues of seismicity.First, on the basis of Generalized Extreme Value theory we estimate the average return period of the largest events.Then, following Bak et al.&nbs

Stagonospora (= Septoria) nodorum when grown in liquid culture with wheat cell walls as the sole carbon and nitrogen source secretes numerous extracellular depoly-merases, including a rapidly produced, alkaline, trypsin-like protease (SNP1).The enzyme was purified 417-fold by cation exchange chromatography and has a molecular mass of 25 kDa on sodi
