BACKGROUND Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has significantly reduced HIV morbidity and mortality in both developed and developing countries. However, the sustainability of cART may be compromised by the emergence of viral drug resistance mutations (DRM) and the cellular persistence of proviruses carrying these DRM. This is potentially a more serious problem in resource limited setting...

The use of Dextrostix Reflectance Meter (DRM)* to measure blood glucose has been reported recently. The method has proved to be simnple, rapid, and accurate, and to correlate well with various reference methods (Mazzaferri et al., 1970; Jarret, Keen, and Hardwick, 1970; Schersten, 1971; Deckert and Futtrup, 1971). The handiness of the DRM seemed to make it an excellent tool in the diagnosis of ...

Transferring the traditional business model for selling digital goods linked to physical media to the online world leads to the need for a system to protect digital intellectual property. Digital Rights Management(DRM) is a system to protect high-value digital assets and control the distribution and usage of those digital assets. This paper presents a review of the current state of DRM, focusin...

In the present paper we establish several strong differential subordinations regardind the extended new operator DRm λ defined by the Hadamard product of the extended generalized Sălăgean operator Dm λ and the extended Ruscheweyh derivative Rm, given by DRm λ : Anζ → Anζ , DRm λ f (z, ζ) = (Dm λ ∗Rm) f (z, ζ) , where Anζ = {f ∈ H(U × U), f(z, ζ) = z + an+1 (ζ) zn+1 + . . . , z ∈ U, ζ ∈ U} is th...

The dual-role method (DRM) extracts subject preferences as two players in experimental economic games. Previous research indicates mixed effects of DRM on game performance. A two (role)-by-two (role order) design for the ultimatum game (UG) was implemented in a naturalistic setting across 2 years. Subjects played according to the role they were assigned (proposer or responder). Immediately afte...

This article describes the work of the Digital Media Project (DMP) which is developing an industry-agnostic and scalable DRM standard that can at least reduce the most blatant impositions of DRM. As part of the effort, the DMP is also providing an Open Source Software implementation of the standard that can be exploited to accelerate the deployment of interoperable DRM solutions and to test how...

OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to establish the annual public expenditure arising from the health and social care of patients with diet-related malnutrition (DRM) in the Republic of Ireland. DESIGN Costs were calculated by (i) estimating the prevalence of DRM in health-care settings derived from age-standardised comparisons between available Irish data and large-scale UK surveys and (ii) a...

OBJECTIVES Interpretation of drug resistance mutation (DRM) has been based solely on HIV-1 subtype B. Reverse transcriptase (RT) C-terminal domains have been disregarded in resistance interpretation, as their clinical relevance is still controversial. We determined the emergence of DRM in RT C-terminal domains of different HIV-1 subtypes, the genetic barrier for the acquisition of these DRM and...

We present a Digital Rights Management (DRM) system that supports what you see is what you pay. In our system, multimedia is compressed with a scalable codec and encrypted preserving the scalable granularity and multiaccess capability. This paper focuses on the DRM modules enabling efficient key generation and management. We employ a light license server which stores only the master keys of con...

False recognition in children aged 5, 8, and 11 years was investigated using the standard version of the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) procedure and an alternative version in which the DRM stimuli were embedded in stories designed to emphasize their overall theme. Relative to the 8- and 11-year-olds, the 5-year-olds falsely recognized fewer critical lures when the DRM stimuli were presented in...
