OBJECTIVE The clinical benefits of extended infusion or continuous infusion of beta-lactam antibiotics remain controversial. We systematically reviewed the literature to determine whether any clinical benefits exist for administration of beta-lactam antibiotics by extended or continuous infusion. DATA SOURCE PubMed (January 1950 to November 2007), EMBASE (1966 to November 2007), and the Cochr...

In the present article, we discuss the various ambiguous aspects of the immune system that render this complex biological network so highly flexible and able to defend the host from different external invaders. This ambiguity stems mainly from the property of the immune system to be both protective and harmful. Immunity cannot be fully protective without producing a certain degree of damage (im...

In this paper, we introduce a new function called tri-ĝ continuous in tri-topological spaces. A map f : X → Y is if f-1(V) closed for each tri-closed set V Y. Also define, quasi tri-ĝ. perfectly tri-ĝ, contra totally and strongly maps are introduced some of their properties studied.

Penicillium janthinellum, isolado como um fungo endofítico dos frutos de Melia azedarach, foi cultivado por 20 dias em milho branco triturado e autoclavado, onde os policetídeos conhecidos citrinina, emodina, 1,6,8-triidróxi-3-hidroximetilantraquinona, e uma nova antraquinona modificada, denominada janthinona, foram produzidos e isolados por procedimentos cromatográficos clássicos e identificad...

This paper illustrates how a computer model, based on Venn-networks, mimics a physiological phenomenon present in brains of higher animals: contra-lateral inhibition. The experiments were carried out by utilizing the GVNS, i.e. Generalized Venn-network Simulator. The data-set utilized in all simulations consisted of digital representations of finger positions of a piano player when performing a...

this paper deals with continuous frames and continuous riesz bases. we introduce continuous riesz bases and give some equivalent conditions for a continuous frame to be a continuous riesz basis. it is certainly possible for a continuous frame to have only one dual. such a continuous frame is called a riesz-type frame [13]. we show that a continuous frame is riesz-type if and only if it is a con...
