Published: July 2006

We investigated vortex-lattice dynamics in superconducting Nb thin films with different quasiperiodic arrays of magnetic pinning centers. The mixed-state magnetoresistance exhibits minima for well-defined applied fields, related to matching effects between the vortex lattice and those arrays. The results show that critical matching can originate at a local scale. For fractal arrays, the vortex-lattice correlation length is longer and the minima are deeper, close to those of periodic arrays.

Background: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is more effective for diagnosing and treating solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs). It is sometimes difficult to localize through use of minimally invasive techniques. We evaluated the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of a novel localization method for SPNs.

Background: An increasingly large proportion of patients undergoing curative surgery for lung cancer, are octogenarians. We evaluated our short and long-term survival and adverse outcomes after oncological lung resections.

Methods: Octogenarians undergoing anatomical resection for confirmed or suspected lung cancer at a single-centre between January 2016 and December 2021 were included.

Aim We aimed to determine the incidence of thrombotic complications and outcomes of critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and evaluate the association between combined antithrombotic therapy and mortality in ICU patients admitted for COVID-19 pneumonia. Methods We retrospectively collected data of adult critically ill patients with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU in a major hospital in Dubai during the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality.

Maize is a cornerstone of global agriculture, essential for food security, livestock feed, and industrial uses. With the increasing demand for maize due to population growth and changing dietary patterns, there is a pressing need to enhance maize production. Hybridization is a strategic approach for developing high-yielding and stress-tolerant maize varieties and evaluating these hybrids in specific environmental conditions is vital for optimizing yield and adaptability.
