BACKGROUND Persistent high-risk (HR) human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and increased HR-HPV viral load are associated with the development of cancer. This study investigated the effect of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infection, HIV viral load and CD4 count on the HR-HPV viral load; and also investigated the predictors of cervical abnormalities. METHODS Participants were 292 HIV-ne...

A high density of Photovoltaic generation can lead to problems in low voltage grids. This paper addresses the problem by actively and anticipatory using the load shifting and load influencing potentials in households. The goal is to achieve a local generation/load balance. To analyse the potential in Austrian households, a model settlement is generated, which represents Austria as a small villa...

in this literature, a combined method has been employed to simultaneously reducesmoke (soot) and oxide of nitrogen (nox) and maintain the performance parameters of dieselengine. this includes creating an air jet by designing an air-cell inside the piston body, advancedinjection timing and using cold exhaust gas recirculation. the tested engine was an mt4.244engine that worked as natural aspirat...

scaling challenges and limitations of conventional silicon transistors have led the designers to apply novel nano-technologies. one of the most promising and possible nano-technologies is cnt (carbon nanotube) based transistors. cnfet have emerged as the more practicable and promising alternative device compared to the other nanotechnologies.  this technology has higher efficiency compared to t...
