92 www.thelancet.com Vol 385 January 10, 2015 Enhancement of community trust, engagement, and ownership will be key to building resilient systems for health. This includes strengthening community health worker capacity and, more generally, partnering with communities in meaningful ways. More health workers are needed, and training must prepare them for the right competencies—ie, those that enab...

We introduce an ordinal model of e ciency measurement. Our primitive is a notion of e ciency that is comparative, but not cardinal or absolute. In this framework, we postulate axioms that we believe an ordinal e ciency measure should satisfy. Primary among these are choice consistency and planning consistency, which guide the measurement of e ciency in a firm with access to multiple technologie...

Family physicians who care for infants and young children are often asked to diagnose growth lags and failure to meet parents’ expectations for reaching developmental milestones: Why isn’t my child gaining weight? Why isn’t he talking? Th e other kids in the day-care center ride tricycles—why can’t he? Will he catch up? My mother thinks he’s funny looking. Do you? Simple reassurance is all that...

The large processing requirements of seismic wave propagation simulations make High Performance Computing (HPC) architectures a natural choice for their execution. However, to keep both the current pace of performance improvements and the power consumption under a strict power budget, HPC systems must be more energy e cient than ever. As a response to this need, energye cient and low-power proc...

To evaluate the reliability of using in situ frog intestinal perfusion technique for permeability assessment of carrier transported drugs which are also substrates for CYP enzymes. Single Pass Intestinal Perfusion (SPIP) studies were performed in frogs of the species Rana tigrina using established method for rats with some modifications after inducing anesthesia. Effective permeability coeffici...

Although the initial expense will be higher, additionally accounting for the prevention of HPV-linked cancers in men (eg, anal, penile, and oropharyngeal cancers) will make this approach cost eff ective....

The study of non-supersymmetric string theories is shedding light on an important corner the landscape and might ultimately explain why, so far, we did not observe supersymmetry in our universe. We review how misaligned closed-string leads to a cancellation between bosons fermions even theories. then show that same takes place for open strings by studying anti-D$p$-brane placed top O$p$-plane t...

In [3], the following semantical picture of modified realizability is sketched: Consider the topos Set, whose objects are functions between sets, and whose arrows are commutative squares. The logic of Set corresponds to “Kripke forcing over a 2-element linear order”. Over Set, one can define the standard realizability topos Eff→ (not to be confused with Eff!). The modified realizability topos, ...

Light new vector bosons can be produced gravitationally through quantum fluctuations during inflation; if these particles are feebly coupled and cosmologically metastable, they account for the observed dark matter abundance. However, in minimal anomaly-free $U(1)$ extensions to Standard Model, vectors generically decay neutrinos at least one neutrino mass eigenstate is sufficiently light. If de...
