BACKGROUND Although postvaccination Guillain-Barré syndrome is commonly reported, there have only been 2 previously reported cases of postvaccination Miller Fisher syndrome, and none in association with the novel influenza A(H1N1) vaccine. OBJECTIVE To describe a case of Miller Fisher syndrome following receipt of the seasonal influenza and novel influenza A(H1N1) vaccine. DESIGN Case repor...

The Fermat and Solovay–Strassen tests are each based on translating a congruence modulo prime numbers, either Fermat’s little theorem or Euler’s congruence, over to the setting of composite numbers and hoping to make it fail there. The Miller–Rabin test uses a similar idea, but involves a system of congruences. For an odd integer n > 1, factor out the largest power of 2 from n− 1, say n− 1 = 2e...

Volume 30, Number 4, July/August 1998 play an important role in teenage pregnancy. The U.S. Congress made the prevention of teenage pregnancies a major objective of the 1996 federal welfare reform law,3 which recommends that “the states and local jurisdictions should aggressively enforce statutory rape laws” as one way to achieve this end.4 As a result, states are reconsidering both the content...

in this research the effect of conventional and ohmic pasteurization and storage time at different temperatures on some bioactive components of aloe vera gel juice was investigated. aloe vera gel juice was pasteurized conventionally and ohmically at 90 ºc for 1 min. the effect of pasteurization on vitamin c, total phenolic content  and juice color was evaluated. the samples pasteurized conventi...

Objective: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic, disabling, and functional disorder of the gastrointestinal tract in the absence of identifiable structural disorder. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between sensory processing sensitivity and life style with perceived stress considering mediating role of duration of syndrome in patients with IBS using structural equ...

In 1986 Victor Miller described an algorithm for computing the Weil pairing in his unpublished manuscript. This algorithm has then become the core of all pairing-based cryptosystems. Many improvements of the algorithm have been presented. Most of them involve a choice of elliptic curves of a special forms to exploit a possible twist during Tate pairing computation. Other improvements involve a ...

an adsorbent was developed from matured leaves of the aloe barbadensis miller plant for removing pb(ii) from aqueous solutions. adsorption was carried out in a batch process with several different concentrations of pb(ii) by varying amount of adsorbent, ph, agitation time and temperature. the uptake of the metal was initially very fast, but gradually slowed down indicating penetration into the ...

77 THIS FEATURE PRESENTS A RELAtively unique concept for urban arterial highway interchanges. The interchange has been named the Echelon Interchange because of its symmetrical, but offset, pair of two-phase one-way pair intersections—one elevated over the other. An observer1 noted that the interchange resembled a flying formation used by the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Team, the “Blue Angels...

... with well-functioning markets (and neutral taxes) and rational investors, who can ‘undo’ the corporate financial structure by holding positive or negative amounts of debt, the market value of the firm – debt plus equity – depends only on the income stream generated by its assets. It follows, in particular, that the value of the firm should not be affected by the share of debt in its financi...
