To perform a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to determine the impact of CD133+ bone marrow cells (BMC) on left ventricular (LV) function and clinical symptoms. 70 patients with chronic ischaemic heart disease and impaired LV function (left ventricul...

A stability analysis approach a class of fuzzy controlled Single Input-Single Output nonlinear time-varying systems is proposed in the paper. The stability analysis is done in the sense of Lyapunov resulting in sufficient uniform asymptotic stability conditions to be us...

Men sometimes withdraw support for gender equality movements when their higher gender status is threatened. Here, we expand the focus of this phenomenon by examining it cross-culturally, to test if both individual- and country-level variables predict men's collective ac...

Abstract- For electric vehicles (EVs) on the move, the only viable solution of electromagnetic energy charging consists of static and dynamic charging, where Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) offers possibilities that no other technology can match. The main objective of th...

By application of Green’s function and some fixed point theorems, i.e., Leray-Schauder alternative principle and Schauder’s fixed point theorem, we establish two new existence results of positive periodic solutions for a nonlinear fourth-order singular differential equa...

This paper uses real options theory to value an investment opportunity known as the Mediterranean-Dead Sea hydroelectric project. We employ a discrete time model to: -quantify simultaneous variation of three decision variables over the useful life of the project; -value...

Let X be a complete variety over an algebraically closed field K, and D an effective (locally principal) divisor. Denote by ND the normal sheaf; it fits into a fundamental exact sequence O+O,-+O,(D)-+N,+O. (1) Consider a flat family .Y of deformations of D; it consists ...

Abstract The aim of the study was the synthesis of polysulfone (PS)/graphene oxide (GO) composite membranes by phase inversion method as well as their structural, morphological, thermal and mechanical investigation. The performance of composite membranes in terms of dis...

Since cadmium is a toxic metal that can cause serious health problems for humans, it is necessary to find bioremediation solutions to reduce its harmful effects. The main goal of our work was to develop a functional food based on elemental selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs)...
