Experimental determination of solubility and ternary phase diagram of chiral compound are of tedious and time consuming tasks, and in many cases, there is not enough experimental data for different enantiomeric compositions to access the experimental ternary phase diagram. Using thermodynamic models with predictive capability, having less dependency on experimental data, affords a great advanta...

Objective: Analysis of management in 22 ectopic pregnancies clinically presented as an atypical form. Patients and Methods: Twenty two patients with suspected ectopic pregnancy were successfully managed laparoscopically during three years period at Victory Nursing and infertility management centre, Khulna, Bangladesh. Results: All patients had dull ache pain in lower abdomen or any one of the i...

The modification of DMA by the haloethylnitrosoureas is probably responsible for their antitumor activity. A current hypothesis relates this cytotoxic action to the transfer of haloethyl groups from the nitrosourea to DNA followed by a second reaction of the haloethyl group with the opposite DNA strand. However, other modifications besides interstrand cross-links are introduced into DNA, raisin...

OBJECTIVES To investigate bacterial flora of clinically healthy conjunctiva and nasal cavity among patients prior to refractive surgery, as well as the characteristics of patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonisation. DESIGN Observational and cross-sectional study. SETTING A single-centre study in Japan. PARTICIPANTS 120 consecutive patients pre-refractive ...

Background: Understanding some part of the human body such as serous membrane, peritoneal cavity, lesser sac and proper mesentery is difficult for medical students. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of animal dissection on improving medical student knowledge and view related viscera and serous membrane anatomy. Methods: In YUMS in 2011, sixty eight medical students were ra...

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of post-hatch feed deprivation on yolk sac utilization and subsequent performance of young broiler chickens (280) up to 35 days of age. The experimental treatments included access to feed at 8 h intervals after hatch, up to 48 h (0, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 h). Water was offered ad libitum to all the groups immediately after placement. Results indi...

As growth in dataset sizes continues to exceed growth in available bandwidth, new solutions are needed to facilitate efficient visual analysis workflows. Remote visualization can enable the colocation of visual analysis compute resources with simulation compute resources, reducing the impact of bandwidth constraints. While there are many off-the-shelf solutions available for general remoting ne...

Traditionally, software development teams follow Tayloristic approaches favoring division of labor and, hence, the use of role-based teams. Role-based teams require the transfer of knowledge from one stage of the development process to the next. As multiple stages are involved, the problem of miscommunication due to indirect and long communication path is amplified. Agile development teams addr...

In this paper we exploit simple approximate queueing models to assess the effectiveness of the approaches that have been proposed to save energy in dense wireless local area networks (WLANs), based on the activation of access points (APs) according to the user demand. In particular, we look at a portion of a dense WLAN, where several APs are deployed to provide sufficient capacity to serve a la...
