D&C Red No. 36, a drug and cosmetic dye commonly used for coloring lipsticks, was evaluated for its carcinogenic potential in male and female Wistar rats. This dye has been shown to exhibit mutagenic activity towards Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 in the presence of S9 mix. In the present study, 50 male and 50 female rats in each group were given diets containing D&C Red No. 36 at 2 different con...

This paper addresses the governance of ‘live-work mix’. concept refers to renewed intertwining living and working activities in new housing urban development context welfare state restructuring, knowledge economy globalisation. Implementing live-work goals can be difficult because a consensus between public private actors is usually needed develop such projects. In this paper, we examine instru...

The present study was undertaken to study the combined effect of Aflatoxin and Ochratoxin A on liver enzymes of broilers and the amelioration of the effects using adsorbents. Aflatoxin and ochratoxin A were mixed with the broiler diet to attain a concentration of 1 ppm and 2 ppm respectively. Activated charcoal at 0.4% and lyophilized yeast culture at 0.2% level were used as adsorbents for test...

Although uncompensated care for hospital-based care has fallen dramatically since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid expansion, the changes in hospital physician reimbursement are not known. We evaluated if payer mix and physician reimbursement by encounter changed between 2013 and 2014 in an academic hospitalist practice in a Medicaid expansion state. This was a retrosp...

Current systems providing anonymous interactive communication [15, 22] are based on networks of anonymity-providing relays called MIXes. An important issue with such systems is that a MIX is able to betray its users, and thus it is necessary to use several MIXes sequentially for each communication, which distributes the trust among them. This increases the complexity of the protocols as well as...

There has been less controversy over the ownership of care provider agencies, but interest has grown over the last decade.

Historically, Markovian predictors have been very successful in predicting branch outcomes. In this work we propose a hybrid scheme that employs two Prediction by Partial Matching (PPM) Markovian predictors, one that predicts based on local branch histories and one based on global branch histories. The two independent predictions are combined using a neural network. On the CBP-2 traces the prop...
