WUh the digital revolution narrated as the means for social cohesion in the globally competitive national economy, policy and corporate moves are afoot to increase the inclusion of women into the ICT arena, particularly those who have traditionally remained on the fringes of societal inclusion such as lone women parents. By equipping them with ICT skills, such as network engineering, and utiliz...

BACKGROUND Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the prototype member of the beta-herpesvirinae, which can cause multiple organ dysfunction in the immunocompromised host. Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and HHV-7 are newer members of the beta-herpesvirinae that can cause febrile illness in young children and are also possible pathogens in the immunocompromised patient. AIM CMV is detected in histopathological...

This thesis is focused on techniques for finite automata and their use in practice, with the main emphasis on nondeterministic tree automata. This concerns namely techniques for size reduction and language inclusion testing, which are two problems that are crucial for many applications of tree automata. For size reduction of tree automata, we adapt the simulation quotient technique that is well...

While XML is an ordered data format, many applications outside the document processing area just drop ordering and manipulate XML data as they were unordered. In these contexts, hence, XML is essentially used as a way for representing unordered, unranked trees. The wide use of unordered XML data should be coupled with a careful and detailed analysis of their theoretical properties. One of the o...

In this study we examine whether feelings of inclusion are correlated with identity integration, and if so, what effect this interaction might have on conflict adaptation. Our first hypothesis is that we will find a positive relationship between identity integration (II) and conflict adaptation. Our second hypothesis is that we will see a positive relationship between II and feelings of inclusi...

THE first description of the inclusion bodies of trachoma was made by Halberstaedter and von Prowazek following the examination of Giemsa-stained scrapings from the conjunctivae of baboons which had been inoculated with secretions from trachomatous patients (cf. Julianelle, 1938). Since then Giemsa and its modifications have held prime place as a means of demonstrating these structures and this...

This paper presents the principles of a new approach aimed at automatically discovering motivic patterns in monodies. It is shown that, for the results to agree with the listener’s understanding, computer modelling needs to follow as closely as possible the strategies undertaken during the listening process. Motivic patterns, which may progressively follow different musical dimensions, are disc...

bacterial expression systems provide economic and logistic advantages in manufacturing proteins for human therapeutic purposes. however, most such proteins accumulate in insoluble biologicaiiy inactive form when overexpressed in bacterial cells. this is the case while attempting to produce recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (hgm-csf) in e. coli. in this report, d...

cyclodextrins (cds) are a family of cyclic oligosaccharides which are composed of α (1,4) -linked glucopyranose subunits. thebest-characterized forms are α, β and γ cd which are consisted of six, seven and eight d-glucose units, respectively. cyclodextrins are produced from starch by enzymatic degradation. these macrocyclic carbohydrates with polar internal cavities can form complexes with and ...
