BACKGROUND Meteorological factors affect dengue transmission. Mechanisms of the way in which different diurnal temperatures, ranging around different mean temperatures, influence dengue transmission were published after 2011. OBJECTIVE We endeavored to determine the correlation between dengue incidence and diurnal temperature ranges (DTRs) in Colombo district, Sri Lanka, and to explore the po...

This paper presents a solution to the user equilibrium Dynamic Traffic Routing (DTR) problem for a point diversion case using feedback control methodology. The sliding mode control technique which is a robust control methodology applicable to nonlinear systems in canonical form is employed to solve the user equilibrium DTR problem. The canonical form for this problem is obtained by using feedba...

We examine the measurement uncertainty associated with different methods of calibrating the ubiquitous down-the-road (DTR) radar used in speed enforcement. These calibration methods include the use of audio frequency sources, tuning forks, a fifth wheel attached to the rear of the vehicle with the radar unit, and the speedometer of the vehicle. We also provide an analysis showing the effect of ...

Citation: Juanico DEO (2016) Commentary: The impact of climate change on landslides in southeastern of high-latitude permafrost regions of China. Front. Earth Sci. 4:11. Permafrost melting could trigger geomorphic change processes on the Earth's surface, such as landslides, ground subsidence, and erosion. Although permafrost accounts for a minute portion of the Earth's total water content, it o...

We present numerical results in SU(2) lattice gauge theory for the space-space and time-time components of the gluon propagator at equal time in the minimal Coulomb gauge. It is found that the equal-time would-be physical 3-dimensionally transverse gluon propagator Dtr(~k) vanishes at ~k = 0 when extrapolated to infinite lattice volume, whereas the instantaneous color-Coulomb potential D44(~k) ...

There are strong noise components included in the reference signal and the received signal of the ultrawideband (UWB) differential transmitted reference (DTR) autocorrelation receiver, which impact on the receiver's performance seriously. Therefore this paper proposes a autocorrelation receiver based on average differential transmitted reference (ADTR). This receiver averages the received signa...

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term nutritional state patients with gastric cancer who underwent laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy double-tract reconstruction (LPG-DTR) using oblique jejunogastrostomy method (OJG). Methods: Medical records 38 LPG-DTR OJG (21 patients) or total Roux-en-Y (LTG-RY) (17 between October 2011 and March 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. I...

A novel multiplex of independent dinucleotide tandem repeat (DTR) loci was previously described that is capable of not only discriminating human and equine DNA, but of identifying a single equine source. We report a case in which a bloodstained syringe and two needles were found during inspection of a barn by inspectors of the Pennsylvania Racing Commissions. Using the multiplex and single-locu...

MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) plays significant role in various physiological processes involving both innate and adaptive immunity. miR-155 expression level changes dynamically during various immune responses. However, current approaches for miR-155 detection at the RNA level do not precisely reflect the real-time activity. Herein, we generated a transgenic mouse line (R26-DTR-155T) for determination...

BACKGROUND In acute aortic dissection, delays exist between presentation and diagnosis and, once diagnosed, definitive treatment. This study aimed to define the variables associated with these delays. METHODS AND RESULTS Acute aortic dissection patients enrolled in the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD) between 1996 and January 2007 were evaluated for factors contributin...
