There are still several unanswered research questions regarding tuberculosis (TB) contact investigations [1–4]. For example, up-to-date epidemiological studies regarding TB contacts in the area of intermediate incidence are not readily available [5]. The long-term risk of TB, especially beyond 5 years, remains undetermined [6]. Risk factors for TB development among contacts are also not well de...

In this paper we present some new versions of Brooks-Jewett and Dieudonné-type theorems for (l)-group-valued measures.

This paper presents the results of an exploratory empirical field test of the K-C Model of customer contact (Kellogg, 1991; Kellogg & Chase, 1995) in a hospital setting. Seventy service workers in seven departments of a regional hospital were surveyed regarding the elements of the K-C Model based on their perceptions of a "typical" service encounter with a customer/patient. Service worker SCORE...

Conductivity plays vital role in drug diffusion. Thermodynamic parameters affected by substituents of drug. 1, 3, 5 –triazinothiocarbamide (1a) have been investigated using conductometrically carried out at different molar concentrations. This work highlights investigation G, K and µ values. The thermodynamic viz. ΔH, ΔS ∆G for ion pair formation determine from the value association constant. t...

Thermodynamic data are often used to calibrate or test amomic-level (AL) force fields for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In contrast, the majority of coarse-grained (CG) force fields do not rely extensively on thermodynamic quantities. Recently, a CG force field for lipids, hydrocarbons, ions, and water, in which approximately four non-hydrogen atoms are mapped onto one interaction site, ...

A Bayesian inference methodology is developed for calibrating complex equations of state used in numerical fluid flow solvers. Precisely, the input parameters of three equations of state commonly used for modeling the thermodynamic behavior of so-called dense gas flows, – i.e. flows of gases characterized by high molecular weights and complex molecules, working in thermodynamic conditions close...

This article summarizes the main features in the investigation of polymorphic behaviour of pharmaceuticals and emphasizes the role of combined thermoanalytical techniques for proper interpretation of complex problems. The examples illustrate the quality of information gained in relation to thermodynamic and kinetic factors.

The liquidus surface projection and isothermal sections at 1100 1000 °C of the Co–Nb–Zr system were constructed by analyzing solidification morphology as-cast alloys annealed microstructure equilibrated diffusion couples. Six primary areas obtained in projection, four deduced from binary phase diagram. Additionally, three three-phase regions five determined sections. Based on experimental infor...
