Malaria has plagued humankind since ancient times and is still putting nearly 40% of the world’s population at risk. No one is certain how many people contract the disease, but estimates suggest that it afflicts between 350 million and 500 million people every year. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 59% of the world’s clinical malaria cases occur in Africa, 38% in Asia and 3% i...

Modern challenges of food science require a new understanding of the determinants of food quality and safety. Application of advanced imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has seen impressive successes and fast growth over the past decade. Since MRI does not have any harmful ionizing radiation, it can be considered as a magnificent tool for the quality control of food prod...

The use of mixture models for clustering and classification has burgeoned into an important subfield of multivariate analysis. These approaches have been around for a half-century or so, with significant activity in the area over the past decade. The primary focus of this paper is to review work in model-based clustering, classification, and discriminant analysis, with particular attenti...

over the past decade, the chemical behavior of flavonoids as antioxidants has become the subject ofintense experimental research. in this paper, we use a quantum-chemical approach to shed light on thereactivity of four poly phenols, benzoic acid, vanilic acid, gallic acid and flavone . in order to establishthe most efficient theoretical methodology, different methods, either hartree—fock-based ...

SUMMARY Numerous clinical and basic science-related innovations have been presented at the Canadian Surgery Forum (CSF). We sought to define changes in both the content and methodology of the CSF scientific program over the past decade. While the total volume of CSF abstract presentations has increased dramatically, the methodological quality has remained static, with few randomized trials and ...
