Activation of Coagulation and Fibrinolysis in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: a Prospective Pilot Study

Introduction: Coagulation and fibrinolysis remain sparsely addressed with regards to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We hypothesized that ARDS development might be associated with changes in plasma coagulation and fibrinolysis. ...

NON-INVASIVE INVESTIGATIONS IN HEROIN USERS AND NON-USERS-A CASE CONTROL STUDY

bjective: To compare heroin users with their age and gender matched relatives as regards non-invasive investigations like chest x-ray, electrocardiography (ECG) and 2D-echocardiography. Study Design: Case control study. Place and Duration o...

Utility of Bone Marrow Cell Block in the Diagnosis of Haematological Disorders: A Cross-sectional Study

Introduction: The examination of Bone Marrow Aspirate (BMA) smears and Biopsies (BMBx) are well established in the diagnosis of various haematological and non-haematological disorders. While both techniques have unique advantages over the o...

Statistics Explained

An understanding of statistics and experimental design is essential for life science studies, but many students lack a mathematical background and some even dread taking an introductory statistics course. Using a refreshingly clear and enco...

The cartoon guide to statistics

Updated version featuring all new material. If you have ever looked for P-values by shopping at P mart, tried to watch the Bernoulli Trails on People's Court, or think that the standard deviation is a criminal offense in six states, then yo...

Advances of Commercial and Biological Materials for Electron Transport Layers in Biological Applications

Electron transport layer (ETL), one of the important layers for high-performing perovskite solar cells (PSCs), also has great potential in bioengineering applications. It could be used for biological sensors, biological imaging, and biomedi...

Experimental examination on physical and radiation shielding features of boro-silicate glasses doped with varying amounts of BaO

Investigations were conducted on the addition of barium's impact on the radiation shielding and physical attributes of five different glasses, designated S1–S5, with varying BaO contents. Using two point sources namely Co60 and Cs137 along ...

Life cycle assessment of a renewable energy generation system with a vanadium redox flow battery in a NZEB household

Buildings are responsible for a significant part of the global energy consumption. Besides the need to improve their energy efficiency, new buildings also need to generate their own energy, preferably from renewable sources, to become more ...

Oxidation‐etching induced morphology regulation of Cu catalysts for high‐performance electrochemical N2 reduction

Abstract Renewable‐electricity‐driven N2 reduction is an attractive approach for ambient NH3 synthesis, but active electrocatalysts are needed to enable the N2 reduction reaction. Monolithic electrodes with active components anchored on con...

Renewable energy and geopolitics: A review

This article reviews the literature on the geopolitics of renewable energy. It finds that while the roots of this literature can be traced back to the 1970s and 1980s, most of it has been published from 2010 onwards. The following aggregate...

Correction: Solid‑state hydrogen storage materials

Renewable Energy Resources

Renewable Energy Resources is a numerate and quantitative text covering the full range of renewable energy technologies and their implementation worldwide. Energy supplies from renewables (such as from biofuels, solar heat, photovoltaics, w...

Nanomaterials for renewable energy production and storage

Over the past decades, there have been many projections on the future depletion of the fossil fuel reserves on earth as well as the rapid increase in green-house gas emissions. There is clearly an urgent need for the development of renewabl...

A comprehensive review on the adoption of insulated block/eco-block as a green building technology from a resident perspective

Green building technologies (GBTs) have gained significant momentum as a result of the environmental, energy management and societal problems within the building sector. The insulated block/eco-block is a GBT, which consists of an insulatio...
