*Correspondence: [email protected] Department of Mathematics Education, Sehan University, YoungAm-gun, Chunnam 526-702, Korea Abstract We establish new approximate selection theorems for almost lower semicontinuous multimaps with n-connectedness. Our results unify and extend the approximate selection theorems in many published works and are applied to topological semilattices with path-connec...

OBJECTIVES To assess the quality of care given to elderly people and compare the care given to residents in nursing homes with those living in their own homes. DESIGN Controlled observational study. SETTING Primary care, Bristol. SUBJECTS Elderly individuals (aged > or =65 years) registered with three general practices, of whom 172 were residents in nursing homes (cases) and 526 lived at ...

PURPOSE Because of the emergence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in recent times, the rapid detection of resistance to the first-line anti-tuberculosis drug rifampicin was felt worldwide. Accordingly, this study was conducted to evaluate the diagnostic potential of polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) for checking its utility as a rapid screening test...

BACKGROUND QuantiFERON®-TB Gold in-Tube (QFT) assay is a recently developed test to assess latent tuberculosis infection in contagious tuberculosis (TB) contact subjects. To assess the QFT assay in recently exposed contacts of active tuberculosis patients in a French area with low TB incidence but high Bacille Calmette-Guerin coverage, and evaluate progression rates to TB disease. METHODOLOGY...

p67(PHOX), a cytosolic component of the NADPH oxidase complex, is phosphorylated during neutrophil activation by several agonists. The intracellular signaling pathways leading to its phosphorylation in neutrophils may involve a PKC-dependent pathway and a PKC-independent pathway. Here, we analyzed p67(PHOX) phosphorylation by ERK2 and p38MAPK. Both ERK2 and p38MAPK phosphorylated p67(PHOX) in v...

As a practical rounded trailing edge airfoil for coaxial rotors, DBLN-526 is fore and aft symmetrical with two steps on its lower side. This has been used at the inboard section of rotor system. there are always eddies behind because edge, interaction between separation transition should be considered. Thus, unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes- (RANS-) based <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/...
