Live attenuated SA-14-14-2 vaccine against Japanese encephalitis (JE) was introduced in the routine immunization under Universal Immunization Program in the 181 endemic districts of India. Recently, the Government of India has announced the introduction of one dose of JE vaccine for adults in endemic districts. The policy to mass vaccinate adults has raised several concerns that are discussed i...

in this work, we report synthesis of silver nanoplates by a simple reduction process of silver nitrate in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol (pva) and n,n'-dimethyl formamide (dmf). the characterization of the samples were carried out using x-ray diffraction (xrd), transmission-electron microscopy (tem) and uv-vis spectroscopy. absorption spectra of the nanoplates in comparison with that of...

Introduction The use of visual guidance, or targeting, to tread on a force platform while walking has been reported as a potentially confounding factor in gait research (Oggero et al., 1997). While there is evidence that constraining the foot to a specific area within a walkway alters stepping parameters (Hirokawa, 1989) and promotes the use of visual control strategies (Patla et al., 1996), th...

Today we move on to the final section of material on quantum optical communication: the full multi-temporal mode treatments of electromagnetic field quantization, photodetection theory, nonlinear optics, non-classical light generation, and quantum interference. Because our prerequisite subjects—6.011 and 18.06—do not include enough background for these topics, we’ll tread gently. Hence there wi...

This paper proposes a simple mathematical tyre model that estimates tyre cornering stiffness. The model is derived by considering the tyre to be a combination of two independent systems. The sidewalls are assumed to be negligibly stiff in the lateral direction, and hence their influence on the lateral dynamics of the tyre will be ignored. The belt and tread area of the tyre will be considered t...

For the design of an antenna that will be directly attached to a car tire, the proximity effects due to the tire have to be considered. Measurements are performed on a dipole antenna that is mounted at the inside of the tire tread to determine the change in input impedance and resonant frequency caused by the dielectric rubber material and the metal reinforcement of the tire. A differential mea...

A new wavelet-based L∞ -constrained embedded image coding technique is proposed in this paper. For any desired distortion bound, the embedded bit stream can be truncated at a corresponding bit-rate, for which the required upper bound on the individual elements of the reconstruction error signal is guaranteed. A lifting-based wavelet transform is employed and exact relations are established betw...

ideas for purposes of step one when it notes in the discussion of step one that “courts have tread carefully in construing this exclusion because, at some level, all inventions embody, use, reflect, rest upon or apply abstract ideas.” Preliminary Guidance at 2; see also Alice Corp., 134 S.
