This paper introduces TweetNaCl, a compact reimplementation of the NaCl library, including all 25 of the NaCl functions used by applications. TweetNaCl is published on Twitter and fits into just 100 tweets; the tweets are available from anywhere, any time, in an unsuspicious way. Distribution via other social media, or even printed on a sheet of A4 paper, is also easily possible. TweetNaCl is h...

Pressure ulcer prevention strategies include the prevention, and early recognition, of deep tissue injury (DTI), which can evolve into a Stage III or Stage IV pressure ulcer. In addition to their role in pressure-induced ischemia, shearing forces are believed to contribute substantially to the risk of DTI. Because the visual manifestation of a DTI may not occur until many hours after tissues we...

Suppose there are d diploids and m tetraploids. In the language of [2], there are m models h = 1, h = 2, . . .h = m, where h is the number of hybridizations. Each model has a different number of parameters. The main difficulty with the network prior is that the normalization constants are needed for the different models. Let W be the network topology and node times. The conditional priors π(W |...

The inverse fluidized bed bioreactor was adapted for the axenic culture of heterotrophic microorganisms. Penicillin V synthesized by Penicillium chrysogenum ATCC 28089 was used as a model system for secondary metabolite production. The biomass growth rate was controlled by the rate of nutrient addition while an eroder in the inner draft tube limited the maximum biofilm thickness. When a lactose...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of benzalkonium (BAK)-free travoprost monotherapy administered for 3 years on intraocular pressure and visual field performance. METHODS The intraocular pressure of 76 patients with normal tension glaucoma was monitored every 1-3 months. A Humphrey visual field test was performed every 6 months after treatment and compared with ...

The role of " colonization pressure " in the spread of vancomycin-resistant enterococci: an important infection control variable. Sir—We read with interest the article entitled " A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Trial of Acetazolamide for the Treatment of Elevated Intracranial Pressure in Cryptococcal Meningitis " by Newton et al. [1], which evaluated the addition of acetazolamide...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens (pciol) implantation on intraocular pressure (iop) in eyes with chronic angle-closure glaucoma. methods: twenty-two patients with chronic angle-closure glaucoma (cacg) and visually significant cataract were included in our study. all were underwent phacoemulsification and pciol implantation. iop, depth...

Health[1] Health[1]Mental health [2]Refugees [3]Sweden [4]Forskning.no [5] Refugees in Sweden run three times more risk of developing schizophrenia than persons born in Sweden. They can experience armed drones in the sky, bloody battles, frequent bombings and all sorts of persecution and abuse before encountering the worries and traumas of a dramatic exodus and an uncertain future.

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013008941 DESCRIPTION An 11-year-old child was admitted to the hospital because of blurred vision and redness for 3 days in his right eye. Best corrected visual acuity was 20/60 right eye (OD) and 20/20 left eye (OS), intraocular pressure was 19 mm Hg OD and 13 mm ...
