Cosmic background explorer (COBE) navigation with TDRSS one-way return-link Doppler in the post-helium-venting phase

A navigation experiment was performed which establishes Ultra-Stable Oscillator (USO) frequency stabilized one way return link Doppler TDRSS tracking data as a feasible option for mission orbit determination support at the Goddard Space Center Flight Dynamics Facility. The study was conducted using both one way and two way Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) tracking measurements for the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) spacecraft. Tracking data for a 4 week period immediately follow the depletion of the helium supply was used. The study showed that, for both definitive orbit solution and short term orbit prediction (up to 4 weeks), orbit determination results based on one way return link Doppler tracking measurements are comparable to orbit determination results based on two way range and two way Doppler tracking measurements

Thrombus aspiration in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction: results of a national registry of interventional cardiology.

BACKGROUND: We aimed to evaluate the impact of thrombus aspiration (TA) during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (P-PCI) in 'real-world' settings. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study, using data from the National Registry of Interventional Cardiology (RNCI 2006-2012, Portugal) with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients treated with P-PCI. The primary outcome, in-hospital mortality, was analysed through adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). RESULTS: We assessed data for 9458 STEMI patients that undergone P-PCI (35% treated with TA). The risk of in-hospital mortality with TA (aOR 0.93, 95%CI:0.54-1.60) was not significantly decreased. After matching patients through the propensity score, TA reduced significantly the risk of in-hospital mortality (OR 0.58, 95%CI:0.35-0.98; 3500 patients). CONCLUSIONS: The whole cohort data does not support the routine use of TA in P-PCI, but the results of the propensity-score matched cohort suggests that the use of selective TA may improve the short-term risks of STEMI.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

HYDROCRACKING OF FISCHER-TROPSCH PRODUCTS

The hydrocracking behavior the product of a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis consisting of a C4–C30 mixture of paraffins and olefins on a platinum/amorphous silica–alumina catalyst has been analyzed and optimized. The influence of temperature on the selectiveness of the hydrocracking has been investigated. Time and temperature optimization was performed in order to obtain the best operating conditions for the enhancement of gasoline and diesel cuts

Monte Carlo Simulations Applied To Alx Gay In1-x-y X Quaternary Alloys (x=as,p,n): A Comparative Study

We develop a different Monte Carlo approach applied to the Ax By C1-x-y D quaternary alloys. Combined with first-principles total-energy calculations, the thermodynamic properties of the (Al,Ga,In) X (X=As, P, or N) systems are obtained and a comparative study is developed in order to understand the roles of As, P, and N atoms as the anion X in the system Alx Gay In1-x-y X. Also, we study the thermodynamics of specific compositions in which AlGaInN, AlGaInP, and AlGaInAs are lattice matched, respectively, to the GaN, GaAs, and InP substrates. We verify that the tendency for phase separation is always towards the formation of an In-rich phase. For arsenides and phosphides this occurs in general for lower temperatures than for their usual growth temperatures. This makes these alloys very stable against phase separation. However, for nitrides the In and/or Al concentrations have to be limited in order to avoid the formation of In-rich clusters and, even for low concentrations of In and/or Al, we observe a tendency of composition fluctuations towards the clustering of the ternary GaInN. We suggest that this latter behavior can explain the formation of the InGaN-like nanoclusters recently observed in the AlGaInN quaternary alloys. © 2005 The American Physical Society.7120Stringfellow, G.B., (1983) J.
