Objectives To describe the first-in-man experience with the ClearLumen Thrombectomy System (Walk Vascular, Irvine, CA) and report on its safety, feasibility and efficacy when used as an adjunctive therapy during primary PCI. Background Thrombus aspiration (TA) aims to improve microvascular perfusion but currently available devices are not optimal. Methods Prospective, single-centre, non-randomized

The development of electrical resistivity imaging techniques has been rapid in the last decade. This applies to data acquisition as well as inverse modelling techniques, and has lead to a greatly expanded practical applicability of the method. A trend today is to move from traditionally used electrode array types towards non-conventional arrays that are more efficient for multi-electrode equipment

A voltage reference has been implemented in a standard 0.35 μm CMOS process. A temperature coefficient of 12 ppm/°C is achieved in virtue of a complete suppression of the temperature dependence of the carrier mobility. The line sensitivity is 0.46 %/V and the maximum supply current, measured at 80°C, is 130 nA. The PSSR at 100 Hz and 10 MHz is -59 dB and -52 dB, respectively.

The water exchange between the sea and a lagoon or bay through an inlet due to tides is a classical topic that has been investigated in a large number of studies (Keulegan, 1967; O’Brien and Dean, 1972; O’Brien and Clark, 1974; Escoffier, 1977). In this paper, a simple semi-analytic model of the flow induced by tides through an inlet connecting the sea to a lagoon or bay is developed. The model is

In a Storage-Ring Free-Electron Laser (SRFEL) giant pulses can be produced by the interaction between the light stored in the optical cavity and an electron beam with low energy-spread (cold beam). This interplay produces the heating of the beam. After the generation of a single giant pulse the overlap between electrons and radiation is periodically prevented for a time necessary to dump the energ

Debates on adaptation in rural Africa rarely consider how responses to climate variability vary by wealth group. This study examines differences across wealth groups based on principal component analysis and cluster analysis triangulated with participatory methods. Results indicate that perceptions of weather variability and extreme events are detected by most households regardless of wealth statu

We show that tree-like resolution is not automatable in time no(log n) unless ETH is false. This implies that, under ETH, the algorithm given by Beame and Pitassi (FOCS 1996) that automates tree-like resolution in time no(log n) is optimal. We also provide a simpler proof of the result of Alekhnovich and Razborov (FOCS 2001) that unless the fixed parameter hierarchy collapses, tree-like resolution
