The aims of The Bethesda System (TBS) were to provide effective communication from the laboratory to the clinical provider; facilitate cytologic-histologic correlation; facilitate research into the epidemiology, biology, and pathology of cervical disease; and provide reproducible and reliable data for national and international statistical analysis comparisons. Dr. Diane Solomon and colleagues'...

We discover the formation of a temporal boundary soliton (TBS) in close proximity boundary, moving nonlinear optical medium, upon high-intensity pulse collision with boundary. show that emergent TBS is unstable to perturbations caused by cross-phase modulation between and other products such instability triggers colossal intensity fluctuations reflected ensemble unprecedented magnitudes normali...

The building industry is responsible for considerable energy consumption and the production of large amounts greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Hence, reducing heat losses that occur through envelope, especially floor foundations, important. This paper provides an up-to-date review on thermal bridges (TBs), mainly with respect to slab-on-grade TBs. First, different types are defined; then stan...

BACKGROUND Townes-Brocks syndrome (TBS) is a rare autosomal dominant disease, resulting from mutation in the developmental gene SALL1. The phenotype encompasses malformations of limbs (triphalangeal thumbs and pre-axial polydactyly), intestine (anal stenosis) and ears (dysplastic ear with perception hearing loss). Renal involvement (hypo-dysplasia, multicystic kidneys or unilateral absence) is ...

For explaining theory change, it is important to be able to express which theory is believed to be fundamental and which theory is thought to be true. To achieve this expressive power, I propose theory of belief structures (TBS) that describes belief states not in terms of a set of sentences but by a structure. The dominant formal approach of belief revision, the AGM theory, adopts a conservati...

Metal immobilization may contribute to the environmental management strategy of dredged sediment landfill sites contaminated by metals. In a field experiment, amendment effects and efficiency were investigated, focusing on plants, springtails and bacteria colonisation, metal extractability and sediment ecotoxicity. Conversely to hydroxylapatite (HA, 3% DW), the addition of Thomas Basic Slag (TB...

INTRODUCTION Several commercially available luting agents are used to cement the dental restorations such as intra-coronal, extra-coronal, and fixed partial dentures. Tensile bond strength (TBS) and accurate marginal fit are the essential factors to determine the good clinical results in fixed prosthesis. The retentivity of the luting cements is assessed by their adhesive capacity over the toot...

Abstract Currently, thermophilic membrane biological reactors (TMBRs) are used to treat industrial wastewaters and sewage sludge with the aim of nutrients recovery. The performance process is strongly influenced by rheological behaviour (TBS) inside reactor. Considering high concentration heavy metals in matrices fed reactors, this work aims evaluate influence metal types on properties TBS. Slu...
