this study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of dipstick tests (leukocyte esterase and nitrite) in diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (sbp) in cirrhotic patients. forty six children with ascites hospitalized between 2009 and 2010 in children medical center were enrolled in this study. reagent strip assays for leukocyte esterase and nitrite were performed on ascetic fluid and the re...

The environment greatly influences acquirement of the behavior on the artificial life creature (AC) and artifact object (AO). However, the conventional studies like Karl Sims’ ones have not accurately considered in an environmental influence. Instead, these influences are considered by replacing them into a simple environment. In this study, we accurately model the under-water environmental inf...

An adjoint sensitivity method is presented for parameter-dependent differentialalgebraic equation systems (DAEs). The adjoint system is derived, along with conditions for its consistent initialization, for DAEs of index up to two (Hessenberg). For stable linear DAEs, stability of the adjoint system (for semi-explicit DAEs) or of an augmented adjoint system (for fully implicit DAEs) is shown. In...
