Abstract Background To assess the change in vision-related quality of life and psychosocial well-being patients with episcleritis scleritis before after treatment. Results This one-and-a-half-year prospective study was conducted among 76 eyes 71 new scleritis. A structured questionnaire used to visual analyze effect size. The male-to-female ratio 1:1.536. Episcleritis seen 41 cases (57.7%) whil...

Background Certain essential and conditionally essential nutrients (CENs) perform functions involved in aerobic exercise performance. However, increased intake of such nutrient combinations has not actually been shown to improve such performance. Methods For 1 mo, aerobically fit, young adult women took either a combination of 3 mineral glycinate complexes (daily dose: 36 mg iron, 15 mg zinc,...

The cytokine CD137, a member of the TNF receptor family, is expressed by T cells and regulates activation and proliferation of these cells. The CD137 ligand (CD137L) is expressed by antigen-presenting cells including macrophages, but also on various carcinoma cells. CD137/CD137L interaction plays a central role in sustaining T cell and macrophage activation, i.e. in antitumour immunity. The pre...

109 retrieved after testing and subjected to threepoint bending (Figure 1B) and pull-out tests (Figure 1C) to elucidate differences in relevant performance characteristics. One-tailed paired student’s t-tests were used to evaluate the injuries applied to the specimens. For all other tests in this study, two-tailed, two-sample, equal variance t-tests were used with significance levels set at p=0...

BACKGROUND Therapeutic drug monitoring for mycophenolic acid (MPA) is increasingly being advocated. The present therapeutic range relates to the 12-hour area under the serum concentration time profile (AUC).However, this is a cumbersome, tedious, cost restricting procedure. Is it possible to reduce this sampling period? AIM To compare the AUC from a reduced sampling strategy with the full 12-...

The geometrical and quantum mechanical basis for Davies' and Unruh's acceleration temperature is traced to a type of quantum mechanical (\achronal") spin. Its existence and deenition are based on pairs of causally disjoint accelerated frames. For bosons the expected spin vector of monochromatic particles is given by the \Planckian power" and the \r.m.s. thermal uctuation" spectra. Under space-t...

A b s t r a c t. The unbiased estimator of risk of the orthogonally invariant es-timator of the skew-symmetric normal mean matrix is obtained, and a class of minimax estimators and their order-preserving modification are proposed. The estimators have applications in paired comparisons model. A Monte Carlo study to compare the risks of the estimators is given.


 Komparasi dua alat Spektrofotometer dengan merk dan tahun pemakaian yang berbeda diperlukan untuk mengetahui unjuk kerja alat. Pengujian dilakukan pada penentuan kandungan fenolik total (TPC) metode Folin-Ciocalteu. Hasil analisa TPC dari spektrofotometer kemudian dikomparasi menggunakan uji paired t-test. Uji t- test merupakan membandingkan rata-rata hasil pengujian kedua tersebut. dika...
