et al., 2004). This ultimately results in the amount of Acetylcholine released into the synapase. This syndrome usually occurs in middle-aged patients , and it is reported as rare in children(Hirsch,2007). According to Neuromuscular junction in health and disease by N. P. Hirsch (2007), 50 percent of the cases are associated with small cell carcinoma of the bronchus (C-LEMS). Carcinoma of bronchus is also known as lung cancer or a lung carcinoma. A carcinoma is a cancer emerging from…

Without doubt, quantum computing manifests its superiority over using conventional p-n junctions in a typical desktop computer. Quantum computers, through superposition entanglement, can simultaneously calculate all possible solutions in a D-wave processor, rendering them indispensable for solving computer paradoxes, such as P=NP, developed by physicist Kurt Godel to solve the NP-complete in quadratic and linear time. However, quantum computer’s cryptographic systems in their D-wave processers…
probability value p ≤ 0.05. All calculations were performed using SPSS data analysis software (Ver.14.0; SPSS Inc.). Results Sixteen patients (6 males and 10 females, mean age 24 ± 3.3 years, range 20 - 35 years) completed the study. All tolerated the surgical procedures and no postoperative complications or adverse events were seen with any of the participants during the study period.…
Equations (1.4) and (1.5) can be combined to obtain the equation for piezoelectric polarization as, P_pz=2 (a_s-a_o)/a_o (e_31-c_13/c_33 e_33) (1.6) The total polarization P tot is calculated by summing together the two polarization components: P_tol =〖 P〗_sp + P_pz . (1.7) Total polarization in InGaN and AlGaN as a function of molar fraction is plotted in Fig. 1.6, assuming unstrained GaN is used as substrate…
Solid solubility is whether that solid can dissolve in specific solvent or not. When a solid dissolve, the ions that comprise the solid will disperse in the solvent thus create a different concentration distribution within the solvent solution. Thus we can view this as a flow of ion from high concentration to low concentration (there’s a flow of ions) Electrical activity is the ability for electron to travel within the material. Specific solid material molecule will have free electrons to…
The sensitivity, S, is defined as the measure of the average current, I, generated over the input power, P, as shown in (1). S=I/P (1) Shot noise is a type of noise that appears in photon counting optical devices as a consequence of the particle nature of light. Shot noise results from fluctuations in the packet size of photon energy…
the B cells. Somatic recombination involves gene segments of the heavy and light chains’ variable, diversity and joining regions. The mechanism entails multiple V genes recombining with D and J segments, VJ and VDJ recombination and addition of N and P nucleotides (V-D-J joining), transcription and RNA processing in three B cell clones in germline DNA. Endonuclease cuts randomly after one D and before one J and then after one V and before DJ. The free ends are ligated together to form a…
Introduction: Sleeve gastrectomy(SG) as a bariatric procedure was introduced by Marceau, where-in he modified Scopinaro’s bilio-pancreatic division by adding a longitudinal gastric resection. [1] Although initially introduced as a first-stage procedure, Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy(LSG) has gained popularity as a primary restrictive bariatric procedure. The ASMBS,in it’s updated position statement on sleeve gastrectomy (SG) as a bariatric procedure, recognises SG as an acceptable primary…
