BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES As there are no standard laboratory techniques for the rapid detection of Pneumocystis jirovecii in India, this study was undertaken to evaluate and establish an optimal and rapid technique for the detection of P. jirovecii by comparing three different techniques - staining technique, application of a real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) targeting kex 1 gene and ...

PurposeThis guideline reviews the evidence and provides recommendations for indications appropriate technique dose of neoadjuvant radiation therapy (RT) in treatment localized rectal cancer.MethodsThe American Society Radiation Oncology convened a task force to address 4 key questions focused on use RT preoperative management operable cancer. These included RT, identification regimens, consider...

We consider two models of M=G=1 and G=M=1 type queueing systems with restricted accessibility. Let (V (t))t¿0 be the virtual waiting time process, let Sn be the time required for a full service of the nth customer and let n be his arrival time. In both models there is a capacity bound v∗ ∈ (0;∞): In Model I the amount of service given to the nth customer is equal to min[Sn; v∗ − V ( n−)], i.e. ...

Accessibility analysis, examining people’s ability to access facilities and destinations, is a fundamental assessment for transport planning, policy making, and social exclusion research. Dynamic accessibility which measures accessibility in real-time traffic environment has been an advanced accessibility indicator in transport research. It is also a useful indicator to help travelers to unders...

Cancer radiotherapy (RT) may induce what is referred to as the "abscopal effect," a regression of non-irradiated metastatic lesions distant from the primary tumor site directly subject to irradiation. This clinical response is rare, but has been surmised to be an immune-mediated phenomenon, suggesting that immunotherapy and RT could potentially synergize. Here, we report the outcome of patients...

The Web connects people and brings new opportunities for collaborative activities. This affects not only mainstream Web applications such as wikis and social networking services, but also accessibility-related services. This dissertation describes a collaborative Web accessibility improvement system that can adapt Web content to be more accessible for various types of users. This approach solve...

Methodologies to estimate the response time of a catchment new rainfall inputs based on and streamflow observations require analyst make number uncertain subjective steps. Moreover, these methods assumption that water producing discharge peak fell in last event, which does not necessary apply all environments conditions. Hence, here we present practical, objective, robust method (Tr) hourly ser...
