telenomus beneficiens is a common egg parasitoid of sugarcane top borer scirpophaga excerptalis; however, in winter time the incidence of the parasitoid on top borer eggs is extremely low. t. beneficiens adults were released at various time durations into sugarcane plots to evaluate the parasitic potentiality of the parasitoid against sugarcane top-borer. the egg parasitoid t. beneficiens of su...

background: several large clinical trials and meta-analyses have shown about 20% failure to eradicate helicobacter pylori ( h. pylori ), necessitating investigations for second-line treatments. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of clarithromycin-containing quadruple regimen after nitroimidazole-containing quadruple therapy failure. methods: thirty two patients who had failed 10-...

BACKGROUND H. pylori eradication is usually performed with three or four drugs for at least seven days. Recently four reports have shown a cure rate of approximately 90% using a four-day quadruple therapy. The objectives of this prospective study were: 1) to evaluate the efficacy of pantoprazole-based quadruple therapy, and 2) to compare the efficacy and tolerability of four-day with seven-day ...

We report the case of a male patient with community-acquired quadruple-valve endocarditis on presumed normal native valves. This patient had originally presented elsewhere with generalized edema and malaise and had been diagnosed with suspicious endocarditis and renal dysfunction, for which he unfortunately received incomplete treatment. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiographic exami...

*Correspondence: [email protected] School of Science, Sichuan University of Science and Engineering, Zigong, Sichuan 643000, China Abstract We prove quadruple fixed point theorems in partially ordered metric spaces with mixed g-monotone property. Also, we state some examples to show that our results are real generalization of known ones in quadruple fixed point theory. MSC: 46T99; 54H25; 47H10;...

In an Apollonian circle packing, the curvatures a, b, c, d of any four mutually tangent circles satisfy Descartes’ equation, 2(a + b + c + d) = (a+ b+ c+ d). For an equilateral triangle and a point P , if a, b, c, d denote the squares of the lengths of the sides of the triangle and the distances from P to the vertices of the triangle, then a, b, c, d, satisfy 3(a+ b+ c+d) = (a+ b+ c+d). Define ...

Background: Acute appendicitis is one of the most common acute surgery events. Its main treatment is surgery. However medical management before and after the surgery has an important impact on the treatment. Objective: The aim of study was evaluating the outcomes of single dose and quadruple doses of prophylactic antibiotic therapy in patients with acute ...

BACKGROUND Due to increasing antimicrobial resistance, a bismuth-based quadruple regimen has been recommended as an alternative first-line therapy for Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) eradication. However, different results are varied greatly and the availability of bismuth was limited in some countries. We assessed the efficacy and safety of 14-day berberine-containing quadruple therapy as an al...

Our main result is an existence and uniqueness theorem for Steiner triple systems which associates to every such system a binary code | called the \carrier" | which depends only on the order of the system and its 2-rank. When the Steiner triple system is of 2-rank less than the number of points of the system, the carrier organizes all the information necessary to construct directly all systems ...

Recently Deineko, Klinz, and Woeginger have shown that a transportation problem is immune against the ”more for less”-paradox if and only if the cost matrix C = (ci,j) (of dimension m×n) does not contain a bad quadruple. In this note a counter-example with infinite-dimensional supply and demand vectors is given. In the second part we show that the quadruple-characterization of paradox-immune co...
