In this paper, for 1 γ 3 our main purpose is to consider the quasilinear elliptic equation: div(|∇u|m−2∇u) + (m− 1)u−γ = 0 on a bounded smooth domain Ω ⊂ RN , N > 1 . We get some first-order estimates of a nonnegative solution u satisfying u = 0 on ∂Ω . For γ = 1 , we find the estimate: limx→∂Ω u(x)/p(δ (x)) = 1 , where p(r) ≈ r m √ m log(1/r) near r = 0 , δ (x) denotes the distance from x to ∂...

Jockusch, Li and Yang (TAMS 356 (2004), 2557-2568) showed that the Lown and Low1 r.e. degrees are not elementarily equivalent for n > 1. We answer a question they raise by using the results of Nies, Shore and Slaman (PLMS (3) 77 (1998), 241-291) to show that the Lown and Lowm r.e. degrees are not elementarily equivalent for n > m > 1.

EuroRotaNet, a laboratory network, was established in order to determine the diversity of co-circulating rotavirus strains in Europe over three or more rotavirus seasons from 2006/2007 and currently includes 16 countries. This report highlights the tremendous diversity of rotavirus strains co-circulating in the European population during three years of surveillance since 2006/2007 and points to...

The Non-Specific Effects (NSE) of vaccines refers to any other effect of a given vaccine, other than the intended effect of reducing disease from the specific vaccination. This area of public health has received a large amount of attention in recent years, with arguments on both sides suggesting that vaccines have either beneficial or detrimental NSE. So, where did it all start, what does it al...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate immunogenicity and tolerability of single dose live attenuated injectable hepatitis A vaccine in four metropolitan cities of India. METHODS Live attenuated hepatitis A vaccine was administered to 505 children aged 18 to 60 months in four centers across India. Immunogenicity of the vaccine was assessed by estimation of anti-HAV antibody titer at 6 weeks and 6 months follo...

Background.  Live vaccines may have nonspecific beneficial effects on morbidity and mortality. This study examines whether children who had the live-attenuated oral polio vaccine (OPV) as the most recent vaccine had a different rate of admissions for infectious diseases than children with inactivated diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis-polio-Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine (DTaP-IPV-Hib) or live...

OBJECTIVE In Australia, Salmonella serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is the predominant zoonotic serovar in humans and is frequently isolated from layer hens. Vaccination against this serovar has been previously shown to be effective in broilers and the aim of this current study was to assess and determine the best vaccination strategy (live or inactivated) to minimise caecal colonisation by...
