Consequences of colectomy: pathogenetic damages and correction outlooks by S. R. Bashirov

“…A method of continent reservoir ileorectostomy formation with restraining and areflux mechanism has been developed for pathological transformation of ileal structure. Results of morphological and instrumental investigation methods made on 33 dogs and 6 patients after colectomy show that the restraining and areflux mechanism permits to avoid displastic and degenerative changes in ileal reservoir mucous coat and to recover the stool formation due to motor-evacuation function regulation and keeping the constant physical, chemical and bacterial reservoir and rectum properties after colectomy.…”

Economia criativa e a nova agenda econômica: o sentido da abordagem classificatória para um fenômeno contemporâneo by Rodrigo Campos Dilelio

“…The production of these goods has led to government actions such as printing new classifications of economic activi- ties, promoting the articulation of these sectors and making available incentives (credit lines and tax benefits) targeted at their structuring. Thus, among the so-called “creative industries” there are companies based on organizational models designed for electronic business transactions, promoting new socio-economic implications and transformations in sociability. …”

Encapsulation-induced alignment in endofullerenes by Jonathan Smucker, Jesus Pérez-Ríos

“…We explore the alignment of AlF and N_{2} inside of C_{60} by first computing the interaction between the internal molecule and the fullerene cage using ab initio electronic structure methods. Our results show that the internal molecules are found to be strongly aligned despite finding that all the calculated spectroscopic constants are relatively unaffected by the fullerene cage.…”
