In this paper, we use evidence from our earlier review of surgical randomised controlled trials with a placebo arm to show that blinding in NAIL STRENGHTENER trials of interventional procedures is feasible.We give examples of ingenious strategies that have been used to simulate the active procedure and to make the placebo control indistinguishable
Abstract This investigation Visors delves into the complex interaction at metal-semiconductor interfaces, highlighting the magnetic proximity effect in Ni/Si interfaces through systematic X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) studies at Ni and Si edges.We analyzed two Ni/Si heterostructures with differing semiconductor doping, uncovering a magne
The article analyzes the process of formation and establishes the characteristics of the striking factors of a nuclear explosion of tactical nuclear ammunition with a power of 0.1 to 10 kt when damaging military facilities and the accompanying damage to the population of civilian communities and personnel of infrastructure facilities.Calculated are
Environmental awareness and ever-growing restrictive regulations over contamination have increased the need for more environmentally-friendly lubricants.Due to their superior biodegradability and lower toxicity, vegetable oils are a good alternative to replace currently-used mineral oils.However, vegetable oils show low oxidation and thermal stabil
Melioidosis is an emerging infection in Brazil and neighbouring South American countries.The wide range of clinical presentations include severe community-acquired pneumonia, septicaemia, central nervous system infection and less severe soft tissue infection.Diagnosis depends heavily on the clinical microbiology laboratory for culture.Burkholderia
