We give an abstract characterization of categories which are localiza-tions of Maltsev varieties. These results can be applied to characterize localizations of naturally Maltsev varieties.

the aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate microencapsulated controlled release preparations of a highly water/soluble drug, salbutamol sulphate by (water in oil) in oil emulsion technique using ethyl cellulose as the retardant material. various processing and formulation parameters such as drug/polymer ratio, stirring speed, volume of processing medium were optimized to maximize the e...

Few data are in literature about the pharmacological treatment of conversion disorder and there are not any studies about the use of Valproate extended release (ER) in treating conversion disorder. In this article, we are reporting a case of an Italian woman with a diagnosis of conversion disorder treated effectively and quickly by Valproate ER.

After the daily administration of methyltestosterone to normal human subjects for several weeks, creatine usually appears in the urine in gradually increasing amounts (1,2). Because the creatinuria so induced is associated with an increase in the concentration of serum creatine, and also because the amount of urinary creatinine increases, it has been generally assumed that the synthesis of crea...

Most companies focus on matching and beating their rivals. As a result, their strategies tend to take on similar dimensions. What ensues is head-to-head competition based largely on incremental improvements in cost, quality, or both. The authors have studied how innovative companies break free from the competitive pack by staking out fundamentally new market space--that is, by creating products...

We use computer simulations to study the onset of collective motion in systems of interacting active particles. Our model is a swarm of active Brownian particles with an internal energy depot and interactions inspired by the dissipative particle dynamics method, imposing pairwise friction force on the nearest neighbors. We study orientational ordering in a 2D system as a function of energy infl...

One of the premier technological programs in the Air Force today is the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) system. This major program currently being fielded for our tactical forces represents advanced electronics technology not only in the weapon system itself but also in its sup-

On the 2nd of July, 1881, as President Garfield was entering the depot at Washington, leaning on the arm of Mr. Blaine, Secretary of State, Guiteau, who had been lounging about the depot waiting for his victim, got behind him, and fired two bullets into the President's back ; the wound proved mortal, the President dying on September 19th, 1881. From the day on which Gruiteau shot the President ...

There are subtle, and yet critical and unique differences that distinguish the depot maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) domain from production manufacturing. These differences motivate the need for more efficient ways to capture the essence of the depot MRO domain dynamics. The authors provide an informal characterization of the depot MRO by highlighting some of the major differences. Alon...

Venom immunotherapy has proven a very effective method for the treatment of allergy to Hymenoptera venom. Aqueous instead of depot extracts are prevalently used for this immunotherapy. The advantage of using aqueous extracts has not been fully investigated. We made an open, non-controlled study on 45 subjects sensitized to either Apis mellifera or Vespula spp. Patients were assigned to either a...
