TL;DR: The aim of this study is to evaluate possibility of non-invasive EEG-based brain-computer interfaces in diagnosis of patients with DOCs in post-acute and long-term care institutions.
Abstract: Disorders of consciousness (DoCs) are chronic conditions resulting usually from severe neurological deficits. The limitations of the existing diagnosis systems and methodologies cause a need for additional tools for relevant patients with DoCs assessment, including brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Recent progress in BCIs’ clinical applications may offer important breakthroughs in the diagnosis and therapy of patients with DoCs. Thus the clinical significance of BCI applications in the diagnosis of patients with DoCs is hard to overestimate. One of them may be brain-computer interfaces. The aim of this study is to evaluate possibility of non-invasive EEG-based brain-computer interfaces in diagnosis of patients with DOCs in post-acute and long-term care institutions.

TL;DR: This essay reviews literature about IVF treatment and discusses the significance of infertility to a couple, children development and psychosocial functioning, their relation with parents and public opinion about in vitro fertilization.
Abstract: Nowadays, more and more couples face impediments associated with conception. Infertility is related with experiencing psychological problems by both partners. One of the infertility treatment procedures is in vitro fertilization. Using this method has significant influence on patients and their family's psychology. This essay reviews literature about IVF treatment and discusses the significance of infertility to a couple, children development and psychosocial functioning, their relation with parents and public opinion about in vitro fertilization.

TL;DR: Test results showed that the compressive strength of foams decreased with the longer time of foam degradation in the conditioner, and the addition of natural compounds of plant origin to foams increased their susceptibility to biodegradation.
Abstract: Four types of rigid polyurethane-polyisocyanurate foams (RPU/PIR) were obtained. Three of them were modified by powder fillers, such as cinnamon extract (C10 foam), green coffe extract (KZ10), and cocoa extract (EK10) in an amount of 10 wt %. The last foam was obtained without a filler (W foam). The basic properties and thermal properties of obtained foams were examined. All foams were subjected to degradation in the climatic chamber acting on samples of foams in a defined temperature, humidity, and UV radiation for 7, 14, and 21 days. The physico-mechanical properties of foams were tested. The compressive strength of degraded foams after 7, 14, and 21 days was compared with the compressive strength of nondegraded foams (0 days). The chosen properties of degraded foams, such as cellular structure by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and changes of chemical structure by FTIR spectroscopy were compared. The obtained foams were also subjected to degradation in a circulating air dryer in an increased temperature (120 °C) for 48 h. Additionally, W, C10, ZK10, EK10 foams were placed in a soil environment and subjected to 28 days biodegradation process. The biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), the theoretical oxygen demand (TOD), and the degree of biodegradation (Dt) of foams were determined in this measurment. Test results showed that the compressive strength of foams decreased with the longer time of foam degradation in the conditioner. The foam subjected to degradation darkened and became more red and yellow in color. The addition of natural compounds of plant origin to foams increased their susceptibility to biodegradation.

TL;DR: In this article, the origin and structure of the intrinsic and impurity defects responsible for various exciton-related emission and excitation bands are identified and the formation energies of various -related defects are calculated within the density functional theory.
Abstract: Luminescence characteristics of single crystals (SC) and single crystalline films (SCF) of YAlO3 and YAlO3 : Ce are studied at 4.2–300 K under photoexcitation in the 4–20 eV energy range. The origin and structure of the intrinsic and impurity defects responsible for various exciton-related emission and excitation bands are identified. The ≈5.6 eV emission of YAlO3 SCF is ascribed to the self-trapped excitons. In YAlO3 SC, the dominating 5.63 eV and 4.12 eV emissions are ascribed to the excitons localized at the isolated antisite defect and at the defect associated with the nearest-neighbouring oxygen vacancy, respectively. The thermally stimulated release of the electrons, trapped at these defects, takes place around 200 K and 280 K, respectively. The presence of -related defects and isolated oxygen vacancies (AlO5 units) in YAlO3 SC is confirmed by NMR measurements. The formation energies of various -related defects are calculated within the density functional theory. The influence of various intrinsic and impurity defects on the luminescence characteristics of Ce3+ centres is clarified.

TL;DR: In this article, the selective laser melted (SLM) prototype of a new kind of minimally invasive resurfacing hip arthroplasty (RHA) endoprosthesis with the original multi-spiked connecting scaffold (MSC•Scaffold) was presented.
Abstract: Purpose – The aim of this paper is to present the main results of a research project finished in 2008 which concerned the selective laser melted (SLM) prototype of a new kind of minimally invasive resurfacing hip arthroplasty (RHA) endoprosthesis with the original multi‐spiked connecting scaffold (MSC‐Scaffold). Previous attempts performed in pre‐Direct Metal Manufacturing (DMM) era demonstrated that it was impossible to manufacture suitable prototypes of this RHA endoprosthesis (especially of the MSC‐Scaffold) using traditional machining technologies. Owing to an extensive development of DMM technologies observed in recent years the manufacturing of such prototypes has become possible.Design/methodology/approach – Computer aided design models of pre‐prototypes and the prototype of the RHA endoprosthesis with MSC‐Scaffold were designed and initially optimized within the claims and the general assumptions of international patents by Rogala. Prototyping in SLM technology was subcontracted to SLM Tech Center...
