Economic Impact of Early‑in‑Hospital Diagnosis and Initiation of Eculizumab in Atypical Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome
(2019-12-12)
Background
Atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare, potentially life-threatening condition caused by dysregulation of the complement pathway. Eculizumab is currently the only approved treatment for this ...
Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of Class III Peroxidases in Allotetraploid Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and their Responses to PK Deficiency
(2019-06-21)
Class III peroxidases (PODs), commonly known as secretable class III plant peroxidases, are plant-specific enzymes that play critical roles in not only plant growth and development but also the responses to biotic and ...
Diffusing an Innovation: Clinician Perceptions of Continuous Predictive Analytics Monitoring in Intensive Care
(2019-03-18)
Background The purpose of this article is to describe neonatal intensive care unit
clinician perceptions of a continuous predictive analytics technology and how those
perceptions influenced clinician adoption. Adopting ...
Development of a robust nonlinear pitch angle controller for a redesigned 5MW wind turbine blade tip
(2019-01-23)
Power in wind turbines are traditionally controlled by varying the pitch angle at high wind speeds in region 3 of the wind turbine operation. The pitch angles controllers are normally driven by electrical or hydraulic ...
Developing high performance concrete for precast/prestressed concrete industry
(2019-10-10)
High performance concrete (HPC) is a new class of concrete that has superior characteristics compared to conventional concrete. Despite of its superior characteristics, HPC is not widely used in local and international ...
Continuous drawing of poly(ethylene terephthalate) in ethanol and agile functionalization through infusion
(2019-01-03)
To explore the possibility of applying organic-solvent drawing technique to accomplish a process of industrial significance, continuous drawing of as-spun PET fibers in ethanol was performed. The formation of multiple ...
Evaluating Combinations of Sentinel-2 Data and Machine-Learning Algorithms for Mangrove Mapping in West Africa
(2019-12-06)
Creating a national baseline for natural resources, such as mangrove forests, and monitoring them regularly often requires a consistent and robust methodology. With freely available satellite data archives and cloud computing ...

(2019-10-09)
Facebook Groups facilitate information exchange and engagement for patients with chronic conditions, including those living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD); however, little is known about how knowledge ...
Development of a Mobile Health Intervention to Promote Papanicolaou Tests and Human Papillomavirus Vaccination in an Underserved Immigrant Population: A Culturally Targeted and Individually Tailored Text Messaging Approach
(2019-06-06)
Background: Disparities in cervical cancer incidence and mortality signify the need for intervention efforts targeting Korean American immigrant women.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate how a ...
Formation of Protein Networks between Mucins: Molecular Dynamics Study Based on the Interaction Energy of the System
(2019-09-06)
Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed for a model aqueous solution of
mucin. As mucin is a central part of lubricin, a key component of synovial fluid, we investigate its
ability to form cross-linked networks. ...
