BACKGROUND Allergists commonly perform intradermal skin testing (IDST) after negative skin-prick testing (SPT) to comprehensively diagnose environmental allergic sensitization. However, with the availability of modern methods to detect serum-specific immunoglobulin E (ssIgE), it is unclear if ssIgE testing could substitute for IDST. OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of ssIgE testing and IDS...

Penetration testers are required to attack systems to evaluate their security, but without engaging in unethical behaviour while doing so. Despite work on hacker values and studies into security practice, there is little literature devoted to the ethical pressures associated with penetration testing. This paper presents several ethical dilemmas and dimensions associated with penetration testing...

Security researchers and practitioners lack techniques to quantitatively evaluate the strength of security systems against a determined attacker. Currently, evaluation is either qualitative, such as through security certification standards, or ad-hoc, such as through penetration testing and auditing. In this paper, we propose a framework that if applied to security systems, would produce quanti...

introduction: the penetration depth of irrigating solutions in dentinal tubules is limited; consequently, bacteria can remain inside dentinal tubules after the cleaning and shaping of the root canal system. therefore, new irrigation systems are required to increase the penetration depth of irrigating solutions in dentinal tubules. methods: a comparative study regarding the penetration depth of ...

Introduction: The model for screening antidepressant-like activity in pre-clinical drug studies include, rat forced swimming test (FST). The reports on N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as an antioxidant supplement in stress related disorder is well documented. This study was aimed at potential antidepressant mechanism of N- Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), a glutamate precursor on FST animal model for screening an...

Dynamic loads such as earthquakes can cause major failure to soil, and the foremost of these is soil liquefaction. In engineering studies, liquefaction analyses be performed by different methods based on results field laboratory experiments. this study, potential soils Batman settlement zone, located close East Anatolian Fault Zone in Türkiye, was evaluated. study area, Meydan site consists low...

Pondasi tiang pancang merupakan struktur bagian bawah yang menumpu pada tanah keras atau tumpuan padat dan bekerja sebagai penopang berada diatasnya, jika bawahnya kokoh maka atas akan tetap berdiri kokoh, sebaliknya tidak kuat menahan atasnya runtuh, Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui daya dukung pondasi tunggal kelompok dengan menggunakan metode Mayerhoff 1956 Luciano Decourt 1996 berd...

It is known that the calculation of soil parameters in different ways geotechnical engineering important terms interpretation and obtaining reliable results. The subgrade reaction coefficient can generally be calculated by field loading tests, laboratory tests various empirical relations. obtained using methods relations have very values. calculations, which are one most used interaction struct...

Twenty-five patients with perennial rhinitis and a positive skin prick test (SPT) for Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp) and Dermatophagoides farinae (Df) were submitted to nasal provocation and the radioimmunosorbent test (RAST) for specific IgE-antibodies. We found a significant correlation in the reaction to both allergen extracts for all parameters examined. In addition, there was a signif...

BACKGROUND Palatal tremor is divided into symptomatic palatal tremor (SPT) and essential palatal tremor (EPT) on the basis of clinical features. The inferior olive seems to be abnormal in SPT, but not EPT. Because the inferior olive is likely to be involved in several types of motor learning, it is hypothesised that motor learning would be abnormal in patients with SPT, but not those with EPT. ...
