There is an enormous inequity in global health as well as research. Less than 10% of research funds are spent on the diseases that account for 90% of the global disease burden. This case study of north-south, south-south collaborations in Sri Lanka is a classic example of the issues faced by mental health researchers in low and middle income countries (LMICs). In this paper, work carried out by...

A bstract The branching fraction of the $$ {B}_s\to {K}^0{\overline{K}}^0 B s → K 0 ¯ decay has been recently measured by LHCb and Belle experiments. We s...

Let S ⊂ {−1, 0, 1}2 \ {(0, 0)}. We address the enumeration of plane lattice walks with steps in S, that start from (0, 0) and always remain in the first quadrant {(i, j) : i ≥ 0, j ≥ 0}. A priori, there are 28 problems of this type, but some are trivial. Some others are equivalent to a model of walks confined to a half-plane: such models can be solved systematically using the kernel method, whi...

cystic fibrosis (cf) is a life-limiting autosomal recessive disorder affecting principally respiratory and digestive system . it is caused by cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (cftr) gene mutation. the aim of this study was to determine the extent of repeat numbers and the degree of heterozygosity for c.3499+200ta(7_56) and d7s523 located in intron 17b and 1 cm proximal to the...
