The effect of magnesium particles of various equivalent diameters on some physical properties of petrolatum-stabilized magnesium-hydrocarbon slurries
Effects of switching from olanzapine, quetiapine, and risperidone to aripiprazole on 10-year coronary heart disease risk and metabolic syndrome status: Results from a randomized controlled trial
This study examined the clinical significance of switching from olanzapine, quetiapine, or risperidone to aripiprazole by examining changes in predicted risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) according to the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) and metabolic syndrome status. FRS estimates 10-year risk of âhardâ coronary heart disease (CHD) outcomes (myocardial infarction and coronary death) while metabolic syndrome is associated with increased risk of CVD, stroke, and diabetes mellitus
Effectiveness of Paliperidone Palmitate vs Haloperidol Decanoate for Maintenance Treatment of Schizophrenia: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics are used to reduce medication non-adherence and subsequent relapse in schizophrenia-spectrum disorders. The relative effectiveness of LAI versions of second-generation (atypical) and older antipsychotics has not been assessed
People from BraÄ, emigrant press in Chile and newspaper Domovina - from the late 19th century to the beginning of World War I
Cilj je rada postaviti ishodiĆĄta za prouÄavanje povijesti hrvatskog iseljeniÄkog novinstva u Äileu od najranijeg razdoblja doseljenja Hrvata do kraja 1914. godine, meÄu kojima je brojÄano dominantnu grupaciju Äinilo stanovniĆĄtvo s BraÄa. Radilo se prvenstveno o ekonomskoj migraciji uzrokovanoj ekonomskim promjenama u druĆĄtvu opÄenito, ali i ekonomskim promjenama kao posljedicama politiÄkih kretanja. U novu domovinu donose tradicionalnu potrebu organiziranja u razna druĆĄtva, ali i svijest o vlastitoj nacionalnoj pripadnosti s vlastitim jezikom. NeobiÄno brza asimilacija (veÄ u prvoj generaciji) dovodi u pitanje opstojnost te potrebu oÄuvanja baĆĄtine. IseljeniÄke novine u kojima suraÄuju, ureÄuju ih i pokreÄu BraÄani â novinari, meÄu kojima se istiÄu Ivan KrstuloviÄ i Luka BonaÄiÄ s novinama âDomovinaâ iz Punta Arenasa, u dosadaĆĄnjoj literaturi sagledavane su gotovo iskljuÄivo s aspekta politiÄke orijentacije i borbe. Cilj je rada kroz primjer rubrike âIz mjesta i okoliceâ, koja je odrĆŸala kontinuitet tijekom cijelog razdoblja izlaĆŸenja lista âDomovinaâ i Äijim je sastavnim dijelom bila, prikazati, s aspekta socijalne povijesti, da su lokalne novine odraĆŸavale i biljeĆŸile pojave i dogaÄanja znaÄajna za svakodnevni ĆŸivot zajednice sa svrhom oÄuvanja njezina identiteta.The topic of this paper is to set the starting point for studying the history of Croatian emigrant journalism in Chile from the earliest period of the settlement of Croats until the end of 1914, including the dominant population group from BraÄ. It was primarily the economic migration, which was caused by economic changes in the society in general, and economic changes as a consequence of political movements. The immigrants had the need for organizing themselves in various societies in the new country, and they also had the awareness of their own nationality and language. The unusually rapid assimilation (already in the first generation) calls into question the viability and the need to preserve heritage. Immigrant newspapers edited and run by BraÄ emigrant journalists, most notably Ivan KrstuloviÄ and Luka BonaÄiÄ, with the newspaper Domovina from Punta Arenas, were in the current literature perceived almost exclusively in terms of political orientation and struggle. The aim of this paper is to show that the local newspaper Domovina reflected and recorded phenomena and events significant for the daily life of the community with the intention of preservation its identity from the perspective of social history, especially in the section From the town and surrounding areas

NACA Research Memorandums
Memorandum presenting the effect of magnesium particles of various equivalent diameters on the apparent viscosity, sedimentation ratio, and redispresibility of petroleum-stabilized magnesium-JP-4 slurries. Powders of the following equivalent diameters were investigated: 2.8, 3.8, 7.2, 9.3, 12.0, and 14.8 microns. An analysis of the experimental error and reproducibility of values of apparent viscosity, sedimentation ratio, and redispersibility of the slurries was also made

NACA Technical Notes
"A 13-gallon quantity of butylbenzene was synthesized and purified by large-scale preparation of 4-phenyl-1-butene from benzyl-magnesium chloride and allyl chloride with subsequent hydrogenation of the olefin. The physical constants for pure samples of 4-phenyl-1-butene and butylbenzene were determined and the position of the double bond in the olefin was established" (p. 1)
An Ultrasound Technique for the Characterization of the Acoustic Emission of Reinforced Concrete Beam
Among the various non-destructive techniques for health monitoring in structures, the Acoustic Emission (AE) is well known in scientific literature. Ultrasonic waves emitted by the creation and propagation of cracks in concrete or Reinforced Concrete specimens are usually collected by means of ultrasonic sensors. The signals must be treated in front-end readout process with preamplifiers and filters, to be able to set a proper trigger level and to cut the background noise (belonging to different frequency ranges). In addition, the post processing of the data is important to âclean upâ the dataset, removing fake events, and to extract the proper information, useful for structure damage assessment. In this paper, the authors present the experimental set up and the transducers used to acquire the AE signals recorded during a four-point bending test on a RC beam. The ad hoc realized amplifier and filtering circuit used in the test are also described. Then, an example of an AE signal is also reported, in terms of frequency spectrum analysis and noise filterin
