BACKGROUND Immunochemical method of measuring Ceruloplasmin (Cp) levels for the diagnosis of Wilson's disease has replaced enzymatic method for the main reason of being more sensitive and quantitative. SETTINGS AND DESIGN In this study, we compared both the methods for various factors such as sensitivity, specificity and the time consumed in the diagnosis of Wilson's disease. MATERIALS AND ...

In this paper, I examine 1960 to 1980 trends in suburbanization and education segregation within the black and white populations of four U.S. metropolitan areas. This analysi s provides a test of Wilson’s (1987) social isolation thesis which claims that, during the 1960s and 1970s, middle-class black s moved out of inner-city ghettos into suburbs, thereby isolating themselves from lower-class b...

In a recently paper of Conder-Maclahlan-Vasiljevic-Wilson [7]it has been proved that for every positive integer g > 2 there exists a closed non-orientable surface of algebraic genus g with at least 4(g + 1) automorphisms if g is even, or at least 8(g − 1) automorphisms if g is odd. The main purpose of this note is to provide explicitly such kind of situations in terms of Schottky groups. We als...

INTRODUCTION Dysarthria is one of the first sign of neurological Wilson's disease and is often characterized by a decreased speech rate. The aim of this study is to determine the abilities of Wilson's disease dysarthric patients to control their speech rate. We examined the impact of dual-tasking on the speech rate of patients as compared to healthy control speakers and in relation with their a...

Evaluation of the potential of the Wilson terminal in 33 normal young adults indicates that its potential is zero about once in every twelve. Weighting of the terminal brought its potential to zero in ?<J of the subjects and left a very small residual (technical) error in the remainder. The vertical component of the cardiac vector is primarily responsible for the error on the Wilson terminal. A...

BACKGROUND In 2004, the largest HIV prevention project (Avahan) conducted globally was implemented in India. Avahan was implemented by NGOs supported by state lead partners in order to provide HIV prevention services to high-risk population groups. In 2007, most of the NGOs reached full coverage. METHODS Using a panel data set of the NGOs that implemented Avahan, we investigate the level of t...

Prospection (Gilbert & Wilson, 2007), the representation of possible futures, is a ubiquitous feature of the human mind. Much psychological theory and practice, in contrast, has understood human action as determined by the past and viewed any such teleology (selection of action in light of goals) as a violation of natural law because the future cannot act on the present. Prospection involves no...

We study the dual gravity description of supersymmetric Wilson loops whose expectation value is unity. They are described by calibrated surfaces that end on the boundary of anti de-Sitter space and are pseudo-holomorphic with respect to an almost complex structure on an eight-dimensional slice of AdS5 × S. The regularized area of these surfaces vanishes, in agreement with field theory non-renor...
