BACKGROUND The present study aimed to determine the clinical characteristics and etiology of overweight and obese (OO) individuals with diarrhea attending an urban Dhaka Hospital, International Centre for Diarrheal Disease Research (icddr,b), Bangladesh. METHODS Total of 508 under-5 children, 96 individuals of 5-19 years and 1331 of >19 years were identified as OO from the Diarrheal Disease S...

Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) have become increasingly mature, but this maturity does not make the traditional Object Oriented (OO) approaches obsolete. On the contrary, building MAS in combination with OO constructs allows the reuse of existing components. Similarly, OO methodologies can benefit from extension towards an agent abstraction and so make use of the methods and tools for MAS. The Agent...

29 Olive oil (OO) is the primary source of fat in the Mediterranean diet and has been associated 30 with longevity and a lower incidence of chronic diseases, particularly coronary heart disease. 31 Cardioprotective effects of OO consumption have been widely related with improved lipoprotein 32 profile, endothelial function and inflammation, linked to health claims of oleic acid and phenolic 33 ...

Background and Purpose. Intravenous thrombolysis using tissue plasminogen activator is safe and probably effective in patients >80 years old. Nevertheless, its safety has not been specifically addressed for the oldest old patients (≥85 years old, OO). We assessed the safety and effectiveness of thrombolysis in this group of age. Methods. A prospective registry of patients treated with intraveno...

In this paper we present the multistage oo-line routing model, a new and rather natural, way to model oo-line packet routing problems. With this model, the problem of oo-line packet routing reduces to the problem of nding edge disjoint paths on a multistage graph. The multistage oo-line routing model can model any kind of routing pattern on any graph. Furthermore, it incorporates the size of th...

The mediator/wrapper approach is used to integrate data from different databases and other data sources by introducing a middleware virtual database that provides high level abstractions of the integrated data. A framework is presented for querying XML data through such an Object-Oriented (OO) mediator system using an OO query language. The mediator architecture provides the possibility to spec...

Density functional theory (DFT) based modeling of electronic excited states is importance for investigation the photophysical/photochemical properties and spectroscopic characterization large systems. The widely used linear response time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) approach however not effective at many types states, including (but limited to) charge-transfer doubly core-level excitations. In this pe...

Sparse Symmetric Positive Definite (SPD) Linear System Solvers (LSS) are routinely required in various Power System Analysis problems. In sparse LSS ordering of nodes is desired to reduce fill ins, which in turn reduce computations. Minimum Degree Algorithm (MDA) has established itself as a very competitive ordering algorithm, for reducing fill ins to quite often near minimum level. With the ac...

Conventional OO methodologies have t o p r o vide a well-deened Component based development CBD process by which the community of software engineers could properly derive executable software components from requirements in a systematic way. The move t o ward CBD requires existing OO conceptual modeling approaches to be reconsidered. In this paper we present a proposal to support CBD in an OO Me...

In [9] and [10], we have studied the initial value problem for the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation (1.1) ut—6uu x +u xxx =0 by the inverse scattering method. In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of the solutions as t— >zh°°-Consider the Schrodinger equation (1.2) over (— oo } oo) with the potential u(x) satisfying (1.3) (throughout the paper integration is taken over (— oo, oo) unles...
