BACKGROUND The large clinical trials proved that Basal-Bolus (BB) insulin therapy was effective in the prevention of diabetic complications and their progression. However, BB therapy needs multiple insulin injections per a day. In this regard, a biphasic insulin analogue needs only twice-daily injections, and is able to correct postprandial hyperglycemia. Therefore it may achieve the blood gluc...

Two experiments were completed to determine the effects of diet mix uniformity and ractopamine HCl on finishing pig performance. In Exp. 1, a total of 200 pigs (BW = 90 kg) were used in a 33-d growth assay arranged in a randomized complete block design with 5 pigs/pen and 8 pens/treatment. Treatments were a corn-soybean meal-based control diet mixed for 360 s or the mixed control diet with 10 m...

Vehicular Networks (VNs) seek to provide, among other applications, safer driving conditions. Vehicles need to periodically broadcast safety messages providing precise position information to nearby vehicles. Recent advances in development of Wireless Communication in Vehicular Adhoc Network (VANET) has provided emerging platform for industrialists and researchers. Vehicular adhoc networks are ...

Anonymous communication is useful in variety of online applications. Evoting, online chat software and data collection for surveying are some of the applications where anonymity is an important feature. One way to guarantee anonymous network communication is using a mix network (mix-net) protocol. A mix network is a protocol that contains several mix servers. A mix server collects user’s cipher...

BACKGROUND In primary care dentistry, strategies to reconfigure the traditional boundaries of various dental professional groups by task sharing and role substitution have been encouraged in order to meet changing oral health needs. AIM The aim of this research was to investigate the potential for skill mix use in primary dental care in England based on the undergraduate training experience i...

BACKGROUND Increasingly, patients with multiple chronic conditions are being managed in patient-centered medical homes (PCMH) that coordinate primary and specialty care. However, little is known about the types of providers treating complex patients with diabetes and compensated cirrhosis. OBJECTIVE We examined the mix of physician specialties who see patients dually-diagnosed with diabetes a...

In 14 mongrel dogs, refractory periods were determined in nonischemic and acutely ischemic zones of myocardium during control conditions, 15 minutes after coronary ligation, and 10 and 20 minutes after a procainamide infusion. Following coronary ligation, refractory periods in the nonischemic area remained unchanged (100.8% of control) while in the ischemia area they decreased to 88.6% of contr...

In this paper we present a protocol for unlinkable and anonymous communication in multi hop wireless networks. There exist solutions for unlinkable communication in the internet, such as Tor and Mix networks. These protocols need fixed infrastructure and they are prone to traffic analysis attacks, i.e. where an attacker tries to map communicating devices by performing statistical analysis. Wire...
