Purpose: To study the experiences of adults who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems and methods when interacting with medical providers, specifically primary care providers. Method: Individual face-to-face interviews were conducted with 12 participants, four of whom also participated in an online focus group. Diagnoses of the participants included cerebral palsy, undiff...

background: gastric lavage (gl) is one of the most commonly used decontamination method for cholinergic insecticide ingestion in developing countries despite lack of supporting evidence. this study was designed to evaluate the outcome of patients with cholinergic insecticide poisoning treated with gl in regards to timing and frequency of the procedure. methods: in this prospective observational...

This study was carried out on olive trees cv. Amygdalifolia, to investigate the effect of spraying potassium nitrate, KnO3, and zinc sulfate, ZnSo4, on the fruit weight, dimension and volume. The plants were sprayed with 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% KnO3 and 0, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75% ZnSO4 and their combinations in August about halfway through the fruit growth period. The highest fruit weight was observe...

We examined the effect of nitrate on the expression of the NADPH producing enzymes of the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGDH) in maize seedlings (Zea mays L. W64A×A182E). In extracts of 5 day old maize roots and leaves treated with 10 mM KNO3, G6PDH and 6PGDH activities increased by 44 and 53%, respectively,...

A main purpose of this paper is to explain how the theory of higher spin fields in flat D = 4 space and in AdS4 emerges as a result of the quantization of a superparticle propagating in so called tensorial superspaces which have the property of a ‘generalized conformal’ or simply General Linear (GL) flatness.
