In previous investigations it was reported that certain transition metal-rich amorphous alloys consist of distorted bcc nano-clusters. Two kinds of these amorphous alloys are of special interest due to their physical properties: (1) metallic glasses with no boundaries between grains and (2) nanoglasses. Nanoglasses are specified with a high proportion of boundary /Interface between amorphous grains.

RV diastolic dysfunction (RVDD) is one of the post-CABG complications, and in this study, we intend to investigate its frequency and predictors.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, eighty CABG candidate adult patients were included.
Background: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is the leading cause of 16% of deaths globally. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are the main treatment options. Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) remain the most frequently used conduits for CABG.

If the set is coarsely dense and generic, then the corresponding infinite sequences of minimum and maximum angles are both monotonic in . As an example, a stationary Poisson point process in is locally finite, coarsely dense, and generic with probability one.
