Humalog Mix 75/25 insulin analog is widely used in the People's Republic of China to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus, but the Humalog Mix 50/50 analog is not as yet widely used or assessed. The purpose of this 12-week, parallel-group, randomized, treat-to-target study was to evaluate the difference in clinical efficacy, safety, and outcome of treatment between Humalog Mix 50/50 and Humalog Mix 7...

This paper presents an analysis of mixes and dummy traffic policies, which are building blocks of anonymous services. The goal of the paper is to bring together all the issues related to the analysis and design of mix networks. We discuss continuous and pool mixes, topologies for mix networks and dummy traffic policies. We point out the advantages and disadvantages of design decisions for mixes...

the purpose of this research was to evaluate the application of recycled aggregates of constructiondebris such as concrete, cement block and rubbles from pars-kangan site in asphalt concrete mix design. toevaluate the performance of aggregates different mix designs with recycled aggregate percentages of 0, 10,30, 50 and bitumen percentages of 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, and 6.5 were provided and two mar...

below the surface through scarifier teeth. Emulsions and medium-curing and slow-curing asphalts were used. The travelling plant-mix was not entirely satisfactory because of conditions existing on this project. It is necessary to have the windrow of material quite wet in order to get it through the travelling pug-mill mixer. The project was built late in the fall, and the water did not evaporate...

There are different methods to build an anonymity service using MIXes. A substantial decision for doing so is the method of choosing the MIX route. In this paper we compare two special configurations: a fixed MIX route used by all participants and a network of freely usable MIXes where each participant chooses his own route. The advantages and disadvantages in respect to the freedom of choice a...

In this paper we show two attacks against universally resilient mix-nets. The first attack can be used against a number of mixnets, including Furukawa-Sako01 [6], Millimix [11], Abe98 [1], MiP-1, MiP-2 [2, 3] and Neff01 [19]. We give the details of the attack in the case of Furukawa-Sako01 mix-net. The second attack breaks the correctness of Millimix [11]. We show how to counter these attacks, ...

Chlorogenic acid (CGA) decreases colon cancer-cell proliferation but the combined anti-cancer effects of CGA with its major colonic microbial metabolites, caffeic acid (CA), 3-phenylpropionic acid (3-PPA) and benzoic acid (BA), needs elucidation as they occur together in colonic digesta. Caco-2 cancer cells were treated for 24 h with the four compounds individually (50-1000 µM) and as an equimo...

AIM To determine the cost effectiveness of increasing nurse staffing or changing the nursing skill mix in adult medical and/or surgical patients? BACKGROUND Research has demonstrated that nurse staffing levels and skill mix are associated with patient outcomes in acute care settings. If increased nurse staffing levels or richer skill mix can be shown to be cost-effective hospitals may be more...
