With the growingly serious energy crisis and the dramatically increasing greenhouse gas emission worldwide, thermal energy storage has been attracting extensive attention for its application in re-regeneration energy, which provides a perfect solution to coordinate the mismatch between energy supply and demand.Organic phase change materials are the
Awake thoracic epidural anaesthesia for laparotomy: A safer alternative to general anaesthesia in asthmatic patients
Asthma is a common obstructive lung disease with English Breakfast Tea a hallmark of airway inflammation and hyper-reactivity in response to a variety of stimuli.The morbidity and mortality in asthma is directly related to reversible airway obstruction and bronchospasm in response to specific triggers.The goal of the anaesthetist is to avoid elicit
ParaHox genes in pancreatic cell cultures: effects on the insulin promoter regulation
The gene encoding PDX1 (pancreatic duodenum homeobox 1), the main transcription factor regulating the glucose-dependent transactivation of the insulin promoter in pancreatic β-cells, clusters with two closely related homeobox genes (Gsh1 and Cdx2/3), all of them belonging to the ParaHox gene family.The ParaHox gene evolutionary history in the
Network high-performance grinding devices for ferromagnetic materials
The design features of the grinding devices that implement the impact destruction of the ferromagnetic materials particles in a magneto vibrating layer formed in a non-uniform magnetic field are considered.It is shown that when a magnetizable powder is affected by an alternating magnetic field with certain parameters, a magneto vibrating layer is f
Crop changes from the XVI century to the present in a hill/mountain area of eastern Liguria (Italy)
Abstract Background Chronological information on the composition and structure of agrocenoses and detailed features of land cover referring to specific areas are uncommon in ethnobotanical studies, especially for periods before the XIX century.The aim of this study was to analyse the type of crop or the characteristics of soil cover from the XVI ce
