TL;DR: The results show that at 0 km the samples collected first have the highest content of particulate PGEs and although the general tendency is for the release to decrease with increasing number of samples taken, exceptions are frequent and at 30,000 km the released P GEs in gasoline and diesel catalysts decreased significantly.

TL;DR: In this article, a theory for diffusion on cubic lattices is given, in which an allowance is made for the effect of sharp composition gradients on the driving force, and an expression for diffusion is derived in the form of a differential-difference equation, and a simple analytic solution for the limiting case of small composition, fluctuations.

TL;DR: Patients with severe heart failure, as determined by high plasma norepinephrine concentration or low ejection fraction, were more likely to have activation of platelets and the coagulation system.
Abstract: Assays which detect the release of platelet-specific proteins and of peptides during thrombogenesis and are considered markers of activation of platelets and the coagulation system have recently been developed. This study was designed to utilize these haemostasis-related markers to test the hypothesis that a prethrombotic state is related to the presence, aetiology and severity of heart failure. Seventy patients with heart failure were evaluated and data were compared with 36 normal volunteers and 41 patients with coronary artery disease without heart failure (CAD). Thrombogenesis was documented using assays which measure platelet function, thrombin activity and fibrinolysis. Platelet function was measured by determining plasma concentrations of platelet factor 4 (PF4) and beta-thromboglobulin (BTG). Thrombin-antithrombin III complexes (TAT) and fibrinopeptide A (FPA) were determined to evaluate thrombin activity. Fibrinolytic activity was assessed by measuring D-Dimer levels. Patients with heart failure, when compared to normals, had increased plasma levels of BTG (89 +/- 62 IU.ml-1 vs 50 +/- 59 IU.ml-1, P < 0.01), TAT (4.6 +/- 4.3 micrograms.l-1 vs 2.3 +/- 0.64 micrograms.l-1, P < 0.005), and D-Dimer levels (506 +/- 444 IU.ml-1 vs 191 +/- 144 IU.ml-1, P < 0.0001). Patients with heart failure, when compared to the CAD group, had increased plasma levels of D-Dimer (506 +/- 444 ng.ml-1 vs 191 +/- 144 ng.ml-1, P < 0.05). Aetiology of heart failure did not affect these measurements. Patients with severe heart failure, as determined by high plasma norepinephrine concentration or low ejection fraction, were more likely to have activation of platelets and the coagulation system.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

TL;DR: Une extension simple de ce modele predit une structure supplementaire dans les caracteristiques du systeme lorsque les etats discrets de l'electrode milieu sont presents.
Abstract: We present a theoretical analysis for a system composed of two mesoscopic tunnel junctions coupled in series. We show that the current-voltage characteristic for this system can be obtained analytically. The usefulness of the model is demonstrated through the fit of experimental data acquired with a cryogenic (4.2 K) scanning tunneling microscope. A simple extension of the model predicts additional structure in the system characteristics when discrete middle electrode states are present.
