conclusions results of the present study showed that the tst and sea genes had high frequencies among the mrsa isolates. the increased prevalence of mrsa isolates containing different virulence genes, probably accompanied by antimicrobial resistance, can complicate the therapy of mrsa isolates. results all the tested isolates were susceptible to vancomycin, but resistant to penicillin (100%), e...

this study will provide detailed specification of those variables and determinants of unpredictable health expenditure in iran, and the requirements to reduce extensive effects of the factors affecting households' payments for health and other goods and services inappropriately.this study aims to identify measures of fair financing of health services and determinants of fair financing contribut...

in this paper, we give some determinantal and permanental representations of generalized lucas polynomials, which are a general form of generalized bivariate lucas p-polynomials, ordinary lucas and perrin sequences etc., by using various hessenberg matrices. in addition, we show that determinant and permanent of these hessenberg matrices can be obtained by using combinations. then we show, the ...

background: this study aimed to evaluate the perception of lay people regarding determinants of health at global level and factors affecting it. methods: data was collected from international social survey program (issp) and world bank website. multilevel regression analysis was done and lay people’s perception regarding health behavior, environment, poverty and genes as health determinants was...

We consider a flagged form of the Cauchy determinant, for which we provide a combinatorial interpretation in terms of nonintersecting lattice paths. In combination with the standard determinant for the enumeration of nonintersecting lattice paths, we are able to give a new proof of the Cauchy identity for Schur functions. Moreover, by choosing different starting and end points for the lattice p...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the Stoneley waves in a non-homogeneous orthotropic granular medium under the influence of a gravity field. The frequency equation obtained, in the form of a sixth-order determinantal expression, is in agreement with the corresponding result when both media are elastic. The frequency equation when the gravity field is neglected has been deduced as a parti...

The transfer is a group homomorphism from a finite group to an abelian quotient group of a subgroup of the group. In this paper, we explain some properties of the transfer by noncommutative determinant. As a result, we can understand the properties of the transfer more naturally.

In this talk I indroduce lattice fermions with suppressed cutoff modes. Then I present Lanczos based methods for stochastic evaluation of the fermion determinant.

In mechanism design, for a given type space, there may be incentive compatible mechanisms which are not affine maximizers. We prove that for two-player games on a discrete type space, any given mechanism can be turned into an affine maximizer through a nontrivial perturbation of the type space. Furthermore, our theorem is the strongest possible in this setup. Our proof relies on new results on ...

Water pH and active ingredient concentration are two of the most important variables to consider in the manufacturing process of fungicides. If these variables do not meet the required standards, the quality of the product may be compromised and lead to poor fungicide performance when water is used as the application carrier, which is in most cases. Given the correlation between the variable...
