Background and Aim: It remains unknown how and where the mitral valve leaks in functional mitral regurgitation.The objective of the current study was to quantify the geometry and position of the leaflet free edges in order to reveal gapping mechanism of the mitral valve, and develop a plug technique to prevent mitral regurgitation.Methods: Eight po
Silicon- (Si-) based optoelectronic synaptic devices mimicking biological synaptic functionalities may be critical to the development of large-scale integrated optoelectronic artificial neural networks.As a type of important Si materials, lg gbb72mbubn Si nanocrystals (NCs) have been successfully employed to fabricate optoelectronic synaptic device
Generally, for healthy adults, the entropy of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals gradually decreases from wake to sleep stages N1, N2, to N3, and increases during REM.However, some researchers found that multiscale entropy curves of sleep and wakefulness intercept, a cross-over phenomenon whose origin remains unexplored.The objective of the present
