BackgroundThis paper is aimed to (i) develop an innovative classification of COPD, multi-dimensional phenotype, based on a multidimensional assessment; (ii) describe the identified multi-dimensional phenotypes.MethodsAn exploratory factor analysis to identify the main classificatory variables and, then, a Baby Bottle cluster analysis based on these
This paper explores the boundaries of the Hmong community as measured by different categories in 2000 U.S.census data.Following careful assessment of GLASS detailed Census data, the authors conclude that the usual criterion used to identify a person in the data as Hmong is too narrow, and that a broader, more inclusive definition more accurately de
Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) can alleviate available phosphorus (AP)-deficiency without causing environmental pollution like chemical phosphate fertilizers.However, the research and application of PSB on the barren rocky soil is very rare.We screened six PSB from sweetpotato rhizosphere rocky soil.Among them, Ochrobactrum haematophilum FP1
The standard quantum state discrimination problem can be understood as a communication scenario involving a sender and a receiver following these three steps: (i) the sender encodes information in pre-agreed quantum states, (ii) sends them over a noiseless channel, and (iii) the receiver decodes the information by performing appropriate measurement
The influence of a chronically implanted spinal cannula on the nociceptive response induced by mechanical, chemical or thermal stimuli was evaluated.The hyperalgesia in response to mechanical stimulation induced by carrageenin or prostaglandin DAILY CONDITIONER E2 (PGE2) was significantly increased in cannulated (Cn) rats, compared with naive (Nv)
