Abstract Indonesia’s position as one of the high burden countries for infectious disease, tuberculosis (TB), has caused TB to be a major health problem in Indonesia. As means control number cases, it becomes important government identify factors associated with it. Commonly, multiple linear regression models are used evaluate relationship between identified and cases. Unfortunately, this model ...

Tripeptidyl peptidase-I (TPP-I) is a lysosomal exopeptidase which removes tripeptides from the N-terminus of small peptides. Mutations in the TPP-I gene result in a lethal neurodegenerative disease, classical late-infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (CLN2). This disease is characterized by the accumulation of proteinaceous and autofluorescent material within the lysosomes of neurons, which...

Exploratory and confirmatory factor analytic studies were not reported in the Technical Manual for the Woodcock-Johnson, 4th ed. Cognitive (WJ IV Cognitive; Schrank, McGrew, & Mather, 2014b) Instead, the internal structure of the WJ IV Cognitive was extrapolated from analyses based on the full WJ IV test battery (Schrank, McGrew, & Mather, 2014b). Even if the veracity of extrapolating from the ...

Traditional land surface models (LSMs) used for numerical weather simulation, climate projection, and as inputs to water management decision support systems, do not treat the LSM lower boundary in a fully process-based fashion. LSMs have evolved from a leaky-bucket approximation to more sophisticated land surface water and energy budget models that typically have a specified bottom layer flux t...

BACKGROUND In higher plants, inorganic nitrogen is assimilated via the glutamate synthase cycle or GS-GOGAT pathway. GOGAT enzyme occurs in two distinct forms that use NADH (NADH-GOGAT) or Fd (Fd-GOGAT) as electron carriers. The goal of the present study was to characterize wheat Fd-GOGAT genes and to assess the linkage with grain protein content (GPC), an important quantitative trait controlle...

Groundwater is a crucial resource for water supply and irrigation in many parts of the world, especially Middle East. The Eocene aquifer, located northern part West Bank, Palestine, threatened by unsustainable groundwater abstractions on-ground pollution. Analysis management this aquifer are challenging because limited data availability. This research contributes to long-term sustainability mod...

The present case study discusses some difficulties in applying survey methodology to the observation of elections by international observers. In election missions data collected through observation forms should justify general statements on the freedom and the fairness of the election observed. The paper focuses on observations of the voting during visits to polling stations and the observation...
