Background Routine screening for distress is internationally recommended as a necessary standard for good cancer care given its high prevalence and negative consequences on quality of life. This study attempts to support validation of Distress Thermometer (DT) in Shiraz, Iran and in the second step to investigate privilege/priority of DT over other referent criterion measures. Material and m...

F. Shakeri and M. Dehghan in [13] presented the variational iteration method for solving the model describing biological species living together. Here we suggest the differential transform (DT) method for finding the numerical solution of this problem. To this end, we give some preliminary results of the DT and by proving some theorems, we show that the DT method can be easily applied to mentio...

S. Pajevic, P. J. Basser MSCL/CIT, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, United States, NICHD/STBB, NIH, Bethesda, MD, United States Introduction: Diffusion Tensor MRI (DTI) measures a diffusion tensor of water in tissue, fr om which useful micr ostructural information can be obtained [1]. DTI provides information about the local diffusion field from which one can attempt to reconstruct...

As the insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules have their own specific characteristic switching forms, turn-on and turn-off times are changed according to practical applications. For conventional drives, resistors used adjust which change losses that a significant amount in total losses. Collector current rate of change, $di_{C}/ dt$ collector-emitter $dv_{CE}/ dependent on each other ...

The reaction of antimony(III) chloride with 1,4-dithiane (1,4-dt) in the ionic liquid [BMIM]Cl ([BMIM]Cl: 1-butyl-4-methylimidazolium chloride) with an excess of the Lewis acid AlCl3 results in the formation of a ligand-stabilized stibenium cation [SbCl2]. 1,4-Dithiane simultaneously serves as a chelating η2-ligand, exhibiting a boat-like conformation, as well as a bridging μ2-ligand, exhibitin...

Preparation of chitosan (CS) microspheres as a novel drug delivery vehicle for intranasal immunization using high, medium and low CS molecular weight (MW) was investigated in this study. Diphtheria toxoid (DT) was used as a model antigen. The emulsion-solidification method was adopted for microencapsulation of DT.  In the first step, following the purification of semi-crude DT by the ion-exchan...

Multiresistant Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium definitive phage type (DT) 12 and DT 120 are more closely related to DT 104 than to non-multiresistant strains of their respective phage types. Multiresistant DT 12 and DT 120 appear to have arisen due to changes in phage susceptibility of DT 104 rather than horizontal transfer of resistance genes.
