The stability of electrocatalysts is of great importance to ensure their applicability, but stability is generally only considered for catalysts polarised Urn Thermostat to a constant potential or current density.This excludes stability evaluation under start/stop conditions in a fuel cell or in reversible batteries in which the catalyst is alterna
The results obtained in the VDD cardiac stimulation (dual chamber and biventricular) in a patient with diagnosis of dilated myocardiopathy, severe ventricular dysfunction (functional capacity III-IV of the NYHA) and left bundle branch block are evaluated.A transitory cardiac stimulation was carried out during 5 min in: right auricle (RA)-right vent
Plants produce defensive chemicals for protection against insect herbivores that may also alter plant MIDI Controllers and insect associated microbial communities.However, it is unclear how expression of plant defenses impacts the assembly of insect and plant microbiomes, for example by enhancing communities for microbes that can metabolize defensi
