The aim was to investigate whether a truncated recombinant Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI1-161) which lacked the third Kunitz-type domain and the basic c-terminal region, had an antithrombotic effect comparable to LMWH in a randomised double-dummy study. The experimental thrombosis was induced in jugular veins, in a total of 40 rabbits by a combination of destruction of the endothelium and

AIM: This study investigated time trend and regional disparities in hospitalisations due to osteoarthritis (OA) among people aged ≥20 years in Sweden from 1998 through 2015.METHODS: National and regional data on hospital admissions with a primary diagnosis of OA were collected from the National Patient Register. The absolute and relative regional disparities were assessed using the absolute weight

Integrated development environments have provided increasingly powerful tools for software creation, and yet the creation of complex computer programs remains difficult and time-consuming. Liveness in a programming environment has been identified as one direction in which to pursue further improvements in programmer productivity. We propose a scheme for achieving strategically predictive liveness, t

A wideband metasurfaced (MS) slot antenna is proposed for circularly polarized (CP) operation. The antenna consists of a crossed slot antenna (CSA) and a MS placed at a short distance above the CSA. The CSA has two slots placed in orthogonal positions and with distributed elements to generate two E-fields with 90°-phase difference for CP radiation. A microstrip line is used to single feed the CSA

This letter presents a wideband cross-slot antenna (CSA) with inductor loadings for dual polarization. The effects of the ground size on the impedance are investigated. To achieve a compact size, a very small ground having the same hypotenuse length as the slot is used. The inductor loadings are used at both ends of the slot to reduce the size further. Simulated results show that the loaded induct

In this paper, a novel generalized transition matrix (GTM) algorithm is proposed to analyze the electromagnetic problems of open-ended cavity structures. An artificial reference surface is applied to seal the slots and/or apertures to reshape the target cavity into an interior domain (containing inner metallic surface and internal structures) and an exterior domain (containing the outer surface of

Understanding the European Union - where it has its roots and how it works - is not the easiest thing. Nevertheless, it is an absolutely necessary knowledge to acquire in order as an individual to be able to navigate in today's Europe.
