IMPORTANCE Immunization schedules with pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) differ among countries regarding the number of doses, age at vaccinations, and interval between doses. OBJECTIVE To assess the optimal primary vaccination schedule by comparing immunogenicity of 13-valent PCV (PCV13) in 4 different immunization schedules. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS An open-label, parallel-gro...

Synchrotron radiation monitor in the storage has been operated for a long time. This system is upgrading to booster operation now. The basic system includes optics, digital image acquisition, image analysis, compressed image transportation and visualization tools at workstation. The linearity and dynamic of new is discussed for some beam physics study. This system is also supported to the boost...

In order to increase the intensities of the ion beams in the JINR-Dubna superconducting Synchrotron NUCLOTRON, to raise their energies and to inprove their quality a booster synchrotron is under design. This booster synchrotron needs some kind of multiturn injection to store particles. The multiturn injection with betatron stacking is simulated in this paper. The simulations reveal the optimum ...

ride IgG responses are shown in the table. The proportions of children who had antibody titres below the minimum protective level of 0.15ìg/ml before receiving their booster dose at 1 year of age was higher than previously reported with the more extended primary immunisation schedule. The mean increase in antibody titre after administration of the booster dose was 803-fold (95% confidence inter...

Motivated by a computer experiment for the design of a rocket booster, this paper explores nonstationary modeling methodologies that couple stationary Gaussian processes with treed partitioning. Partitioning is a simple but effective method for dealing with nonstationarity. The methodological developments and statistical computing details which make this approach efficient are described in deta...

Brazilian National Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) has commissioned its new 500-MeV booster synchrotron injector. In this paper we present an overview of the septum and kicker pulse circuits now in operation. Half-sine wave septum current pulses range from 6.1 kA to 7.3 kA with widths around 80 μs. Injection and extraction kicker circuits are capable of delivering currents up to 650 A and 1...

In order to enhance Fermilab hadron research program and to provide a proton source to a future muon storage ring or a muon collider, the study of a new high intensity proton machine called the Proton Driver is being pursued at Fermilab. It would replace the present linac and 8 GeV Booster and produce 20 times the proton intensity as the Booster. This paper gives a status report on a number of ...
