INTRODUCTION There is increasing evidence that second-generation antipsychotics are associated with weight gain. However almost all available literature has been for Caucasian populations. MATERIALS AND METHODS A health quality improvement project was undertaken at the Institute of Mental Health/Woodbridge Hospital to monitor patients who were started on second-generation antipsychotics. This...

Hearing aid fitting for individuals with high-frequency impairment has been difficult because of the limited gain available at those frequencies. Special high-frequency emphasis hearing aids have been developed in an attempt to alleviate this problem. The insertion-gain responses and changes in speech-recognition performance (in quiet and in noise, aided and unaided) were measured for a commerc...

Spatial multiplexing is a signaling strategy for achieving high spectral efficiencies in communication links that employ multiple transmit and multiple receive antennas. In such systems it will be desirable to use only a subset of the available transmit and/or receive antennas to reduce cost and complexity. In this paper we address the problem of optimal antenna subset selection in spatial mult...

to study the possible use of phytase and yeast (saccharomyces cervisiae) in corn-soy bean meal base diet with different levels of available phosphorous in arbor acers broiler chicks, an experiment was conducted with 264 day old chicks of an average weight of 44.6 grams each. a completely randomized design of 6 treatments and 4 replications (11 chicks per replicate) for periods of starter, growe...

One of the major resources in regions is financial which are usually translated into Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD). In its management, it creates uncertainty about fulfillment human rights regional management. This because one them regulation causes budget allocation for issue Economic, Social Cultural Rights to be very inadequate. this study, authors used a normative research ...
