The spectroscopic properties of Al2O3:Er thin films have been investigated by lifetime measurements. The luminescence decay curves show an initial non-exponential component, followed by an exponential tail, whose decay time decreases with increasing Er concentration. This behavior can be described with good accuracy by a microscopic treatment that takes into account both energy migration and en...

versa can also happen. However, the co-existence of a patch of morphea mimicking as Leprosy patch in an underlying case of neuriticleprosy, can be very misleading. We present a case with glove and stocking anaesthesia and peripheral nerve enlargement with a single large hypopigmented, non-anaesthetic macule on trunk, clinically diagnosed as Hansen's disease (Borderline Tuberculoid BT). Slit ski...

Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae) as alternative to current WHO MDT. Individual drugs tested were Rifampicin (RMP), Rifapentine (RPT) and Moxifloxacin (MOXI). Drug combinations were RMP, Clarithromycin (CLARI), Minocycline (MINO) and RMP, MINO and Ofloxacin (OFLO). RPT drug combinations were RPT, CLARI, MINO and RPT, OFLO, MINO. Both the drugs and drug combinations were used as daily regimen and...

In this paper we introduce the SpeakCorrect system which is a Computer Aided Pronunciation Training (CAPT) system for native Arabic students of English. The system is designed with optimized performance for the target users group. It is L1 dependent system and only the frequent pronunciation errors of native Arabic speakers are examined. Several adaptation techniques such as Speaker Adaptive Tr...
