a nested polymerase chain reaction (pcr) assay with two pairs of primers was applied for the detection of m. tuberculosis complex dna in specimens of 51 patients. of these, 31 clinically diagnosed patients (group i) recruited from july 1996 to june 1997 were given antituherculous chemotherapy from one to six months with standard daily regimen (isaniazid, 5 mg/kg; rifampin, 10 mg/kg; pyrazinamit...

In this work we address contributions from scalars to (g − 2)μ. In order to explain the recently measured deviation by the BNL experiment on (g − 2)μ, it is necessary that these scalars are either light or couple strongly with muons. Here we explore this last possibility. We show that a scalar with mass of the order of 10 GeV provides significant contribution to (g − 2)μ if the Yukawa coupling ...

Complex applications consist of a large set of transactions which are interrelated. There are different kinds of dependencies among transactions of a complex application, e.g. termination or execution dependencies which are constraints on the occurrence of significant transaction events. In this paper, we analyze a set of (orthogonal) transaction dependencies. Here, we do not follow traditional...

Well-nested word languages have been advertised as adequate formalizations of the notion of mild context-sensitivity. The main result of this paper is a characterization of well-nested tree languages in terms of simple attributed tree transducers.
