South Africa has a large refugee population. In its 2010 report the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees stated that received more than 222,000 new asylum requests. This made number-one destination in world, ahead of States, Sweden, France, and Germany. People across African continent go to escapeviolence poverty because it is beacon stability economic growth on continent. They arrive ...

Abstract Background The optimal metronidazole dose for the treatment of Bacteroides spp. has not been defined. purpose this study was to evaluate utility a twice (BID), rather than thrice (TID) daily dosing strategy among patients with bacteremia due Methods Adult, hospitalized secondary between October 2010 and June 2021 were assessed across 11 hospitals. primary endpoint clinical failure whic...

A high-power single-frequency 1178 nm continuous-wave laser is generated in a two-stage stimulated-Brillouin-scattering-suppressed all-polarization-maintaining Raman fiber amplifier pumped by 1120 nm fiber lasers. A polarization-extinction-ratio of 30 dB is achieved due to the all-polarization-maintaining configuration and the polarization dependence gain of Raman scattering. Single-pass freque...

BACKGROUND Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) is the management of choice for renal stones 20 mm or smaller, with a stone clearance rate of up to 89%. The purpose of the present is to investigate the efficacy of a commercialised ESWL service, being performed as an outsourced treatment using a mobile lithotripsy system on an outpatient basis. Furthermore, the study aims to evaluate the ...

A new ligand, 2-phenyl(5-fluoro)imidazo[f]-1,10-phenanthroline (PIP(V)), and its coordination compounds, Ru(bpy)2PIP(V), were synthesized. The fluorescence spectrum of the interaction between Ru(bpy)2PIP(V) and DNA was studied, and a very strong fluorescence peak at a wavelength of 589 nm appeared. The optimum condition of analyzing DNA was decided. The method is simple, convenient and fast, an...

in the meta-analysis? I read with interest the systematic review of pharmacotherapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by Mathew Hoskins and colleagues. Looking at Fig. 2 of the paper and at the online-only supplemental file, however, it seems to me that two unpublished studies have been counted twice in the meta-analysis. As far as I can see from the information reported in the review, ...

The optimization of the louver angle (θ) and the louver pitch (Lp) for a louver finned and tube heat exchanger was investigated numerically along with a simplified conjugate-gradient method (SCGM). The area reduction ratio relative to a plain surface is the objective function to be maximized. A search for the optimum louver angle (θ) and louver pitch (Lp), ranging from 15°< θ < 40° and 2 mm < L...

2263. To get high performance on a distributed-memory multicomputer at present and for the foreseeable future, some explicit control is needed. This paper describes work aimed at harnessing the power of the functional notation in exercising such control. We have developed a declarative annotation scheme which allows explicit control over process placement and communications. The language, calle...
