One of the main problems in developing countries is to define in quantative terms the major health problems so that preventative and therapeutic measures can be applied. In Pakistan, as in many similar countries, acute febrile diseases account for an enormous amount of morbidity and mortality and also can severely affect the economy. Although in Pakistan some diseases such as malaria have long ...

Due to the high uniformity demands, nickel deposition processes for producing reflector coatings often make use of dedicated plating cell configurations. Computer simulations can drastically speed up the trial and error stage for optimizing the plating cell design. In this paper, the nickel deposition distribution for a reflector application is simulated using the Elsyca PlatingMaster software ...

teacher autonomy is viewed very differently: one teacher may view autonomy as a means to gain substantial freedom from interference or supervision; another may view it as the freedom to develop collegial relationships and accomplish tasks that extend beyond the classroom; and even some others may perceive it as a means for principals to avoid their duties (frase and sorenson, 1992). although th...

As a first step to understand preimplantation development, we performed global gene-expression profiling of morula and blastocyst using the NIA 15k mouse cDNA microarray. Gene expression levels were measured four times for blastocyst and five times for morula. Student's t-test at the 5% significance level identified 428 genes upregulated and 748 downregulated in blastocyst compared to morula. T...
