Charge screening and carrier transport in AA-stacked bilayer graphene: tuning via a perpendicular electric field [PDF]
Solid State Communications 202, (2015) 14-18, 2014 The static dielectric function in AA-stacked bilayer graphene (BLG), subjected to an electric field applied perpendicular to layers, is calculated analytically within the random phase approximation (RPA). This result is used to calculate the screened Coulomb interaction and the electrical conductivity.

Integration of Attributes from Non-Linear Characterization of Cardiovascular Time-Series for Prediction of Defibrillation Outcomes [PDF]
, 2016 Objective The timing of defibrillation is mostly at arbitrary intervals during cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), rather than during intervals when the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OOH-CA) patient is physiologically primed for successful ...

Autoresuscitation: A Case and Discussion of the Lazarus Phenomenon
Case Reports in Medicine, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Lazarus phenomenon or autoresuscitation is a very rare condition defined as delayed unassisted return of spontaneous circulation after cessation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Based on a case with a 67‐year‐old male who came back to life after discontinuation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, we discuss the background and possible countermeasures ...

BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 Patients with chronic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction are assumed to have a lower chance of successful CPR and lower likelihood of ultimate survival. However, these assumptions have rarely been documented. Therefore, we investigated the outcome of prolonged ventricular fibrillation (VF) and CPR in a rat model of chronic LV dysfunction.
