Platelet inhibition in acute coronary syndrome and PCI: Insights from the past and present
(2020-01-19)
Platelet activation and aggregation have a pivotal role in arterial thrombosis and in the pathogenesis of both acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and in the thrombotic complications that occur in patients undergoing percutaneous ...
Extending the Life of Infant Mobility Products: Implementing a Product Service System : Report on DEFRA ABR112 (Project EV0534)/ Re-engineering Business for Sustainability
(Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), 2020-01-16)
In 2018, the UK Government published its Resources and Waste Strategy for England. That policy document identifies resource efficiency as a key strategy to reduce waste and rationalize the use of resources through the ...
A Stochastic based Physical Layer Security in Cognitive Radio Networks: Cognitive Relay to Fusion Center
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-01-16)
Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) are found to be, without difficulty wide-open to external malicious threats. Secure communication is an important prerequisite for forthcoming fifth-generation (5G) systems, and CRs are not ...
A low-mass planet candidate orbiting Proxima Centauri at a distance of 1.5 AU
(2020-01-15)
Our nearest neighbor, Proxima Centauri, hosts a temperate terrestrial planet. We detected in radial velocities evidence of a possible second planet with minimum mass m c sin i c = 5.8 ± 1.9 M ⊕ and orbital period P c = ...
Avoid jumping to conclusions under uncertainty in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
(2020-01-15)
High levels of intolerance of uncertainty (IU) could contribute to abnormal decision making in uncertain situations. Patients with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) often report high IU, indecisiveness and the need to ...
How deaths can help clinicians and policy-makers understand the risks of Novel Psychoactive Substances.
(2020-01-14)
Novel psychoactive substances (NPS), especially those newly created, are largely an unknown quantity, particularly in terms of their potential serious adverse effects. This means that policy-makers and clinicians are ...
A Smart Game for Data Transmission and Energy Consumption in the Internet of Things
(2020-01-12)
The current trend in developing smart technology for the Internet of Things (IoT) has motivated a lot of research interest in optimizing data transmission or minimizing energy consumption, but with little evidence of ...
'New/Designer Benzodiazepines': an analysis of the literature and psychonauts’ trip reports
(2020-01-10)
Background: NPS belonging to the benzodiazepine (BZD) class, e.g., ‘legal/designer BZDs’/‘research chemicals’, have recently emerged in the drug (mainly online/virtual) market. Objective: While certain NPS belonging to the ...
Pregnancy and childbirth in English prisons : institutional ignominy and the pains of imprisonment
(2020-01-10)
With a prison population of approximately 9000 women in England, it is estimated that approximately 600 pregnancies and 100 births occur annually. Despite an extensive literature on the sociology of reproduction, pregnancy ...
Computational exploration of molecular receptive fields in the olfactory bulb reveals a glomerulus-centric chemical map
(2020-01-09)
Progress in olfaction is currently hampered by incomplete knowledge about chemical receptive ranges of primary receptors. Moreover, the chemical logic underlying the arrangement of computational units in the olfactory bulb ...
