Ultrastructure of the May-Hegglin anomaly

Ultrastructural features of the leucocytes in two patients suffering from the May-Hegglin anomaly were studied using electron microscopy. In both the cases, electron dense material parallel to the long axis of the inclusions were noted. Platelet ultrastructure was normal. A review of the literature indicates that the May-Hegglin anomaly is a heterogeneous condition both ultrastructurally and clinically

Typing Fingers Vs Writing Fingers

This paper intends to discuss the impact ofnbsp typing on the behavior of kids and the behavioral traits they acquire in comparison of kids who write more than type and are less exposed to electronic gadget interactions

A Realistic Simulation for Swarm UAVs and Performance Metrics for Operator User Interfaces

Robots have been utilized to support disaster mitigation missions through exploration of areas that are either unreachable or hazardous for human rescuers [1]. The great potential for robotics in disaster mitigation has been recognized by the research community and during the last decade, a lot of research has been focused on developing robotic systems for this purpose. In this thesis, we present a description of the usage and classification of UAVs and performance metrics that affect controlling of UAVs. We also present new contributions to the UAV simulator developed by ECSL and RRL: the integration of flight dynamics of Hummingbird quadcopter, and distance optimization using a Genetic algorithm

How Much Is Enough? Optimal Support Payments in a Renewable-Rich Power System

The large-scale deployment of intermittent renewable energy sources may cause substantial power imbalance. Together with the transmission grid congestion caused by the remoteness of these sources from load centers, this creates a need for fast-adjusting conventional capacity such as gas-fired plants. However, these plants have become unprofitable because of lower power prices due to the zero marginal costs of renewables. Consequently, policymakers are proposing new measures for mitigating balancing costs and securing supply. In this paper, we take the perspective of the regulator to assess the effectiveness of support payments to flexible generators. Using data on the German power system, we implement a bi-level programming model, which shows that such payments for gas-fired plants in southern Germany reduce balancing costs and can be used as part of policy to integrate renewable energy

Pulmonary arterial hypertension: molecular genetic basis and emerging treatments

YesPulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare cardiovascular disorder caused by narrowing of blood vessels in the lung and in the absence of therapy leads to right heart failure and death. No cure for this devastating disorder is known. The major objective of the current treatments is to improve symptoms and these therapies were developed prior to the discovery that this disease has substantial genetic components. In this review, we discuss molecular genetic basis of PAH together with pathobiology, current and future therapeutic interventions

Guest editorial: Transparency, accountability and the role of control mechanisms during the COVID-19 pandemic: a future research agenda in the context of emerging economies

The rapid spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) triggered an unprecedented global health crisis. This resulted in governments across the world having to take ‘wartime’ measures in promoting health and safety of their citizens. As a response to the pandemic, governments in different countries, advised by relevant experts, announced countrywide shutdowns, restricting the movement of people, suspending public transportation, and closing most businesses. In many countries, the government also unveiled unprecedented stimulus plans to mitigate the economic impact of the crisis on their citizens. Understandably, due to the nature of the pandemic, much of such public spending had to occur through an expedited process. This, in turn, could potentially create higher risks for corruption and mismanagement (ACCA, 2021). As Transparency International (TI 2020) highlights, extraordinary outbreaks like the COVID19 pandemic also give rise to opportunities for corruption, which might eventually undermine the response to the pandemic. Such corruption can happen in forms, ranging from underreporting of cases to gross irregularities in disbursements of various financial stimulus packages offered by governments
