BACKGROUND Different models exist to provide HIV/STI services for most-at-risk populations (MARP). Along the Tete traffic corridor in Mozambique, linking Malawi and Zimbabwe, a night clinic opening between 4 and 10 PM was established targeting female sex workers (FSW) and long-distance truck drivers (LDD). The clinic offers free individual education and counselling, condoms, STI care, HIV testi...

Back pain is the second most common reason for patients to seek medical care in the USA [1]. Low back pain is estimated to occur in up to 84% of individuals at some point in their life, and lumbar disc degeneration is one of the most common findings in the work-up of low back pain [2]. Owing to its prevalence, it is not surprising that the diagnosis and treatment of low back pain has a large so...

OBJECTIVES To determine the possible interactions between levodopa therapy and plasma levels of B vitamins in patients with advanced idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) in the context of either oral levodopa therapy or levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG). Secondly, to determine the prevalence of neuropathy and its relation to plasma levels of B vitamins and homocysteine. METHODS Medicat...

Aim: Observing the effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) and/or low dose doxycycline (LDD) on total antioxidant and oxidant status brain in experimental periodontitis is purpose study.Methods: 48 male Wistar albino rats were designed as following: control group (C, n=8), + CAPE (PC, n=10), LDD (PD, (PCD, (P, n=10). The time period for experiment was 14 days. 10µmol/kg/day administered ...

The research aims to identify the procedures carried out by translators deal with translating Literary Dialectal Dialogue (LDD) in English translations of contemporary Saudi and Egyptian novels. significance this study is that it focuses on two Arabic dialects examines what are translation if these shift changes dialect. involves an analysis random selections LDD were extracted from several use...

Absrracr-The low sensitivity property of lossless discrete integrator (LDI) low-pass ladder filters is shown to be preserved in lossless discrete differentiator (LDD) high-pass ladder filters 111. The exact design method for LDI ladder filters given in [Z] is further developed by introducing a set of closed-form design formulas for digital ah-pole Chebyshev transfer functions. A new technique f...

By making use of the MOS diode theory, the carrier, and current distribution, as well as the mobility in a MOS device is evaluated. Simple analytical expressions are used for parameters like mobility, carrier concentration, and transversal electric field. Agreement between experimental and simulated results from an LDD MOSFET and an n-well resistance is in agreement, probing this approach is su...

Plant dispersal syndromes are allocated based on diaspore morphology and used to predict the dominant mechanisms of dispersal. Many authors assume that only angiosperms with endozoochory, epizoochory or anemochory have a long-distance (LDD) mechanism. Too much faith is often placed in classical explain historical events future ones. What usually recorded as ‘endozoochory syndrome' reality ‘frug...

Gate voltage-dependent parasitic source and drain resistances in MOSFETs have been modeled and extracted with a symmetric additional resistance method (sARM) for better description of asymmetric parasitic resistances which are induced by intentional and/or accidental variations in the layout and fabrication process. A good agreement of nonlinear models with the sARM has been verified with exper...

This paper focuses on the discretisation of the hydrodynamic transport equations for electrons in sub-micron MOSFET structures. In particular initialisation of the electron temperature equation, and the important problem of accurately calculating the energy input term f J E j on a generalised triangular FE mesh will be considered. The discretisation is applied to the calculation of substrate le...
