Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in a Child with Schimke Immuno-Osseous Dysplasia

Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia is a rare autosomal recessive multisystem disorder characterized by steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, immunodeficiency, and spondyloepiphy-seal dysplasia. Mutations in SWI/SNF2 related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a-like 1 (SMARCAL1) gene are responsible for the disease. The present report describes, for the f...

Novel Electroless Plating of Ruthenium for Fabrication of Palladium-Ruthenium Composite Membrane on PSS Substrate and Its Characterization

This paper focused on a novel method of electroless plating ruthenium (Ru) on solid or porous substrates like porous stainless steel (PSS) discs or ceramic tubes. A novel complexing plating bath of Ru was developed. It is proven that Ru can be deposited directly on these substrates by the bath at a temperature of 328 K and strong alkaline environment. TGA, SEM, EDX and XRD confirmed the success...

The UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS TECHNICAL REPORT #260 PREDICTING PHENOLOGICAL EVENTS USING EVENT-HISTORY ANALYSIS BY SONG CAI

This paper presents an approach to phenology, one based on the use of a method developed by the authors for event history data. Of specific interest is the prediction of the so-called “bloom–date” of fruit trees in the agriculture industry and it is this application which we consider, although the method is much more broadly applicable. Our approach provides sensible estimate for a parameter th...

Wave Propagation in Generalized Thermodiffusion Elastic Medium with Impedence Boundary Condition

In the present investigation, we study the reflection of plane waves, that is, Longitudinal displacement wave(P-Wave), Thermal wave(T-Wave) and Mass Diffusive wave(MD-Wave) in thermodiffusion elastic-half medium which is subjected to impedence boundary condition in context of one relaxatioon time theory given by Lord and Shulman theory (L-S) and the Coupled theory (C-T) of thermoelasticity. The...
