The geometrical and quantum mechanical basis for Davies' and Unruh's acceleration temperature is traced to a type of quantum mechanical (\achronal") spin. Its existence and deenition are based on pairs of causally disjoint accelerated frames. For bosons the expected spin vector of monochromatic particles is given by the \Planckian power" and the \r.m.s. thermal uctuation" spectra. Under space-t...

The incessant discomfort for Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) exhibited by students in some tertiary institutions in Kano State, Nigeria is capable of causing Psychological Resistance as well as jeopardizing the purpose of HIV intervention. This study investigated the Prevalence of Psychological Resistance to VCT of HIV/AIDS among students of tertiary institutions in the state. Two null ...

Crossover clinical trial design attracts a lot of attention in today’s drug development environment because of its unique characteristics. This paper will start with an introduction of a 2 * 2 crossover clinical trial design, then a review of advantages and disadvantages of cross over studies compared with parallel studies. Different types of SAS procedure, such as PROC TTEST, PROC GLM and PROC...

Context: Virtual machines provide isolation of services at the cost of hypervisors and more resource usage. This spurred the growth of systems like Docker that enable single hosts to isolate several applications, similar to VMs, within a low-overhead abstraction called containers. Motivation: Although containers tout low overhead performance, do they still have low energy consumption? Methodolo...

Methods Patients who underwent LGE CMR between January 2003 and February 2010 <1 month prior to CABG were included. A standard 16 segment model was used for Left ventricular (LV) scar quantification. Patients were categorized into Scar group and No-scar groups. Perfusion time (PT), Cross clamp time (CCT), 30-Day mortality, Ventricular arrhythmia, duration of ventilation, prolonged ICU (ICU-LOS)...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of application of three over the counter whitening toothpastes (Colgate Optic White, Aquafresh Ultimate White and Crest 3D White) on the color stability of different esthetic restorative materials (Resin composite/Filtek Z250 XT, resin modified glass ionomer/GC Fuji II LC, and glass ionomer/Ketac Molar Quick Aplicapweek) commonly ...
