Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) induced endothelial dysfunction is associated with disturbance in circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs).Nevertheless, whether this unfavorable effect of HHcy on circulating EPCs also exists in premenopausal women is still unknown.Therefore, this leaves an area for the investigation of the difference on the numb
Finite element analysis and bearing capacity calculation of cross-shaped CFST columns under compressive load
The study investigated the load capacity of cross-shaped concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns under axial and eccentric compression using finite element software ABAQUS.It analyzed six specimens with measured data and an additional here 26 specimens with varied parameters, including eccentricity, slenderness ratio, section steel ratio and m
Optimal Air Conditioner Placement Using a Simple Thermal Environment Analysis Method for Continuous Large Spaces with Predominant Advection
The number of houses with large, continuous spaces has increased recently.With improvements in insulation performance, it has become possible to efficiently air condition such spaces using a single air conditioner.However, the air conditioning efficiency depends on the placement of the cartoon martian with big head air conditioner.The only way to d
The case of EFL: does technology lead to learning?
This paper reviewed a series of studies which investigated the validity of educational soft ware as tools to promote EFL learning.A metasummary approach was used to appraise and synthesize the main fi ndings of four studies.The results are glitter foam vellen action presented in a comparative form, providing information extracted from each report i
Was Lates late? A null model for the Nile perch boom in Lake Victoria.
Nile perch (Lates niloticus) suddenly invaded Lake Victoria between 1979 and 1987, 25 years after its introduction in the Ugandan side of the lake.Nile perch then replaced the native fish diversity and irreversibly altered the ecosystem and its role to lakeshore societies: it is now a prised export product that supports millions of livelihoods.The
