The present paper describes the transient integral charge control (TICC) relation. This term designates a formula describing the emitter, base, and collector terminal currents of a bipolar junction… (More)
The performance and biomass yield of the perennial energy plant Sida hermaphrodita (hereafter referred to as Sida) as a feedstock for biogas and solid fuel was evaluated throughout one entire growing… (More)
OBJECTIVE
The study was conducted to evaluate the long-term results of homograft reconstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract with a cryopreserved aortic homograft in the presence of aortic… (More)
OBJECTIVE
Cryopreserved homograft valves have been used for acute infective aortic root endocarditis with great success but it is compounded by its availability in all sizes. The long-term clinical… (More)
OBJECTIVES
We evaluated the effect of homograft/native aortic root geometric matching and mismatching on valve survival and myocardial remodeling.
METHODS
Between January 1, 1987 and March 2000, a… (More)
BACKGROUND
We retrospectively analyzed the outcome of heart valve operations in solid organ recipients, who were referred for operation to our institution.
METHODS
Over an 18-year period, 23 heart… (More)
We report on an investigation of a so-called image-reversal process where a negative tone image can be obtained with a positive resist. The reversal process is achieved by addition of a base to the… (More)
Borosilicate glass (SiOB) and its outdiffusion properties were investigated. The outdiffusion of boron can be controlled by using an intermediate oxide layer. Borosilicate glass can be used to… (More)
