A method is proposed for noninvasive assessment of the pulmonary artery pressure based on separation of the aortic and pulmonary components of the second heart sound S2 and determining the delay time between them. The algorithm for separating the aortic and pulmonary components is based on the Wigner–Ville transform. Analysis of the phonocardiogram...

In this paper, several experiments were carried out to study the environmental behavior and influencing factors of glyphosate (PMG) in peach orchard ecosystem. The results of field experiments showed that PMG and its metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) were detected in peach tree leaves and peach tree fruits, although PMG was only sprayed ...

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is classified as group-4 pulmonary hypertension caused by organized thrombi in pulmonary arteries and vasculopathy in nonoccluded areas leading to right heart failure and death. In addition to chronic anticoagulation therapy, each patient with CTEPH should receive treatment assessment starting w...

The diseases caused by Zika virus (ZIKV) have received widespread concerns. As a key viral element of ZIKV, E protein was an ideal antigen for vaccine development. However, the poor immunogenicity of E protein necessitated the formulation with adjuvants. Formulation of E protein by conjugation with beta-glucan was a strategy to improve the immunoge...

Fortification of food with iron is considered to be an effective approach to counter the global health problem caused by iron deficiency. However, reactivity of iron with the catechol moiety of food phenolics leads to discolouration and impairs bioavailability. In this study, we investigated the interplay between intrinsic and extrinsic factors on ...
Les Materials Testing Reactors (MTR) sont des réacteurs expérimentaux nucléaires utilisés dans le but d’irradier des matériaux. Les alliages d’aluminium en particulier l’alliage 6061-T6 sont utilisés dans les MTR pour les gaines de combustibles ou les éléments de structures du cœur nucléaire. Dans le milieu aqueux du cœur, ces alliages se corrodent...
Photosynthetic “least‐cost” theory posits that the optimal trait combination for a given environment is that where the summed costs of photosynthetic water and nutrient acquisition/use are minimised. The effects of soil water and nutrient availability on photosynthesis should be stronger as climate‐related costs for both resources increase. Two ind...

The diagnostic strategy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is composed of two components required for a diagnosis of CTEPH: the presence of chronic pulmonary embolism and an elevated pulmonary artery pressure. The current guidelines require that ventilation–perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (VQ-SPECT) is us...
