“Think globally, act locally” was a sticker occasionally affixed to bumpers on U.S. automobiles two decades ago. The bumper sticker signaled a change in the ways that some Americans in the middle decades of the twentieth century chose to think about themselves. For most of our national experience, we Americans have thought about our homeland and relations with other nations in parochial terms. ...

The linear-polarized spectroscopy (IRor Raman) of oriented colloids in nematic host coupled with advanced theoretical calculations are applied as a part of modern “combined approach“ for spectral and structural elucidation of small dipeptides. L-phenylalanyl-L-tyrosine (H-Phe-Tyr-OH) and the hydrochloride of L-alanyl-Lphenylalanine stabilized as monohydrate (H-Ala-Phe-OH.HCl.2H2O) are studied. ...

In the recent years followed by strongly growth, mobile broadband starts governing the traffic. For the purpose of satisfying user it is from high importance mobile network operators to assess the needed network capacity, when facing the boosting demand and shortage of the available spectrum. The deployment of 3G and nowadays 4G has resulted in increased capacity, but due to the essential shift...

A key step in the inverted T-scar pattern breast reduction technique is the preoperative marking of the medial skin incision which will ultimately become the medial aspect of the horizontal scar in the new inframammary fold. We describe the ‘cleavage imprinting’ technique that allows the surgeon to generate mirrorimage medial imprint marks on the contralateral breast during preoperative marking...

The physical characteristics and performance attributes of absorbent gauze and spunlaced nonwovens used formedical/surgical applications are reviewed. Because the manufacturing lines for spunlacing are versatile and highlyproductive, nonwoven products from this process are highly engineered and may have superior performancecharacteristics relative to gauze products. Dressings ma...

Background: Measles remains a serious vaccine preventable cause of mortality in developing nations. Vietnam is aiming to achieve the level of immunity required to eliminate measles by maintaining a high coverage of routine first vaccinations in infants, routine second vaccinations at school entry and supplementary local campaigns in high-risk areas. Regular outbreaks of measles are reported, du...

Geuk (Momordica cochinchinensis spreng) tropical fruits, which are produced in Jeju Island, Korea, well known for containing high levels of carotenoids and α-tocopherol. In this study, geuk fruits were separated two parts (pulp; yellow-orange and seed aril; red). The extracts of geuk fruits were simultaneously analyzed for carotenoids and α-tocopherol contents using HPLC. The results showed tha...
