BACKGROUND Care management in primary care can be effective in helping patients with chronic disease improve their health status, however, primary care practices are often challenged with implementation. Further, there are different ways to structure care management that may make implementation more or less successful. Normalization process theory (NPT) provides a means of understanding how a n...

Application of non-pneumatic tire (NPT) has been increased during the last decade. The aerodynamic characteristics wheel with NPT studied due to significance on improvement handling and reduction fuel consumption. In this paper, first, an original model was simulated by CATIA software, influence structural parameters Fluent software. simulation calculation results showed that: width spoke lengt...

Simulations of DOPC at T = 303 K were performed using the united atom force field 43A1-S3 at six fixed projected areas, A(P) = 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, and 72 Å(2), as well as a tensionless simulation that produced an average A(NPT) = 65.8 Å(2). After a small undulation correction for the system size consisting of 288 lipids, results were compared to experimental data. The best, and excellent, fit t...

CO-sensing properties of diode-type sensors employing an anodized TiO2 film and noble-metal (M) electrodes (M/TiO2 sensor, M: Pd, Pt, and Pd-nPt, n: the amount of Pt (wt %) in the Pd-nPt electrode) were investigated at 50–250 ◦C in dry or wet H2. All the M/TiO2 sensors showed nonlinear I–V characteristics as a diode device in air and N2, but the I–V characteristics of the sensors were actually ...

BACKGROUND The study tests the hypothesis of a reduction of priming due to tree allergy in patients sensitised to both birch/hazel and grass pollen undergoing an associated preseasonal Sublingual/Injective immunotherapy. METHODS 36 out of 49 bisensitized candidates were pair-matched into 18 case-referent couples. During two years all patients were administered preseasonal grass-SIT and one pa...

BACKGROUND Rhinitis is a very common disease, frequently caused by sensitisation to inhalant allergens. Negative results from skin prick tests (SPT) and in vitro IgE tests generally lead to a diagnosis of non-allergic rhinitis. However, it is possible, as indicated by studies addressed with dust mites or pollens that the production of specific IgE occurs exclusively at nasal level. METHODS We...

The regime built around the 1970 Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) has helped curtail spread nuclear arms for fifty years. In hindsight, it is remarkable only nine states possess world’s most powerful weapon. NPT achieved much success during Cold War bipolarity and U.S. unipolarity in its aftermath. But today, China’s rise Russia’s resurgence have ushered a new era emerging m...

James Clay Moltz is Research Professor and Assistant Director of the Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) at the Monterey Institute of International Studies. He also directs the Newly Independent States Nonproliferation Project at CNS. From 1993-98 (Vols. 1-5), Dr. Moltz was Editor of this journal. When the authors of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) crafted the...
