BACKGROUND Alcoholic hepatitis is the most florid presentation of alcohol-related liver disease. In its severe form, defined by a Maddrey's discriminant function (DF) ≥32, the 28-day mortality rate is approximately 35%. A number of potential treatments have been subjected to clinical trials, of which two, corticosteroids and pentoxifylline, may have therapeutic benefit. The role of corticostero...

Optimizing bio-production involves strain and process improvements performed as discrete steps. However, environment impacts genotype and a strain that is optimal under one set of conditions may not be under different conditions. We present a methodology to simultaneously vary genetic and process factors, so that both can be guided by design of experiments (DOE). Advances in DNA assembly and ge...

Computer memory comprises temporarily or permanently stored data and instructions, which are utilized in electronic digital computers. The opposite of serial access is Random Access Memory (RAM), where the accessed immediately for both reading writing operations. There has been a vast technological improvement, led to tremendous information on amount complexity that can be designed single chip....

INTRODUCTION The Bacopa monnieri is traditional Ayurvedic medicine, and reported for memory-enhancing effects. The Bacoside is poorly soluble, bitter in taste and responsible for the memory enhancement action. Memory enhancer is commonly prescribed for children or elder people. OBJECTIVE Poor solubility, patient compliance and bitterness were a major driving force to develop taste masked β-cy...

Tests for dispersion effects in replicated two-level factorial experiments assuming a location-dispersion model are presented. The tests use individual measures of dispersion which remove the location effects and also provide an estimate of pure error. Empirical critical values for two such tests are given for two-level full or regular fractional factorial designs with 8, 16, 32 and 64 runs. Th...

But these experiments [2] will not give us any information about the dependence or independence of the two factors, namely study habit and home environment. In such cases, we resort to Factorial ANOVA which not only helps us to study the effect of two or more factors but also gives information about their dependence or independence in the same experiment. There are many types of factorial desig...
