Background and Purpose: Candida species are the common opportunistic pathogens during the course of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC) is generally known as the initial sign of HIV infection. The aim of this study was to compare demographic characteristics and frequency of Candida species between HIV/AIDS patients and non-HIV subjects in Kerman, southe...

The Weather Research and Forecasting model is used to perform large-eddy simulations of thermally driven cross-basin winds in idealized, closed basins. A spatially and temporally varying heat flux is prescribed at the surface as a function of slope inclination and orientation to produce a horizontal temperature gradient across the basin. The thermal asymmetry leads to the formation of a closed ...

A case study of the Sacramento Basin is undertaken to examine problems of planning for the impacts of climate change on water resources utilizing output from general circulation climate models. This work provides a sensitivity analysis linking climate, stream ̄ow, and planning decisions. Water resource planners want reliable time series of stream ̄ow in the basin. Sacramento basin hydrological mo...

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is lentivirus (subgroup of retrovirus) which causes HIV infection and it acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV infection leads to low levels of CD4+T cells through number of mechanisms [1]. Our purpose is to review educative HIV prevention and control as Millennium Development Goal (MDG) and WHO's operational goal. In 2000, when ...

In this paper the spectrum of barotropic basin modes of the Argentine Basin is shown to be connected to the classical Rossby basin modes of a flat-bottom (constant depth), rectangular basin. First, the spectrum of basin modes is calculated for the Argentine Basin, by performing a normal-mode analysis of the barotropic shallow-water equations. Then a homotopy transformation is performed that gra...

In this paper we propose a numerical method to calculate basin bifurcation sets in a parameter space. It is known that the basin bifurcations always result from the contact of a basin boundary with the critical curve segment. A numerical example for a two-dimensional quadratic noninvertible map is illustrated and new results of basin bifurcations are shown.

It is estimated that the number of HIV infected children globally has increased from 1.6 million in 2001 to 3.3 million in 2012. The number of children below 15 years of age living with HIV has increased worldwide. Published data from recent studies confirmed dramatic survival benefit for infants started anti-retroviral therapy (ART) as early as possible after diagnosis of HI. Early confirmatio...
