Abstract Background More than 90% of heart murmurs in children are innocent.Frequently the skills of the first examiner are not adequate to differentiate between innocent and pathological Christmas Tree murmurs.Our goal was to evaluate the value of a simple and low-cost phonocardiographic recording and analysis system in determining the characteris

Genomic integrity is constantly threatened by sources of DNA damage, internal and external alike.Among the most cytotoxic lesions is the DNA double-strand break (DSB) which arises from the cleavage of both strands of the double helix.Cells boast a considerable set of defences to both prevent and repair these breaks and drugs which derail these proc

Megatrends affect all individuals and organizations in our society.Mobility and flexibility are examples of megatrends that influence our everyday lives and also intensely alter the ways we work.The deployment of virtual teams meets the new chances emerging with these trends.Employees aspire to work virtually due to benefits, such as flexibility re

Meat-eating, ground-nesting yellowjackets have plagued man in summer and early fall throughout California and in many other states.Although yellow-jackets seldom become a problem in heavily urbanized areas, there are often large populations of these wasps in foothill and mountainous localities.Yellow-jacket nests are particularly common Supports in

Dual-wavelength mode-locked fiber lasers have attracted great attention due to their enormous potential in facilitating dual-comb spectroscopy.However, mechanism for dual-wavelength dissipative soliton mode-locking and the intracavity dynamics are still elusive.In this paper, we construct a simple and universal model to Supports numerically investi
