High mortality risk among individuals assumed to be TB-negative can be predicted using a simple test

Can Cascades be Predicted?

A famous instance is a picture of a receipt taken by a customer at a hunting and fishing chain store called Cabela. The receipt listed a 2.3%“medical excise tax,” which was supposedly levied as part of the Affordable Care Act. This was seen as evidence that there is a hidden tax that consumers are paying for the ACA. The store later cleared this up as being a “software glitch” on their part. Th...

FPGA Can be Implemented Using Advanced Encryption Standard Algorithm

This paper mainly focused on implementation of AES encryption and decryption standard AES-128. All the transformations of both Encryption and Decryption are simulated using an iterativedesign approach in order to minimize the hardware consumption. This method can make it avery low-complex architecture, especially in saving the hardware resource in implementing theAES InverseSub Bytes module and...

Knowing Afghanistan: Can there be an end to the saga?

War on terrorism, as the motto which formed the cornerstone of global policies of former     neo-conservative administration of the United States, is increasingly becoming ineffective in Afghanistan with the dreaded consequence of spilling over into Pakistan. This inevitable consequence of War on    Terrorism in Afghanistan has brought the West face to face with the ‘nest of terrorism’ that CIA...

Alcohol consumption and risk of coronary heart disease. Association cannot be assumed to be causal.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the hypothesis that the apparent protective effect of habitual alcohol consumption on coronary heart disease is due to drinkers at high risk of coronary heart disease becoming non-drinkers. DESIGN Case-control population based study. Data were obtained from interviews with patients with non-fatal myocardial infarction and their controls and with the next of kin of tho...
