from linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar

chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...

Detection of human antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) by an enzyme-immunoassay for HBsAg.

We studied the feasibility of detecting antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs) by an inhibition assay using the reagents of an enzyme-immunoassay for HBsAg (Hepanostika). Several modifications of the basic assay were investigated. Sensitivity was greatest when the test sample was incubated with a predetermined amount of HBsAg before the usual procedure of HBsAg detection. The presen...

The enigma of concurrent hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and antibodies to HBsAg.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection continues to be a major health problem worldwide. The large-scale immunization programs for persons in high-risk groups, newborns, and adolescents have greatly reduced the incidence of new infection, but the ∼400 million HBV carriers with HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) in the blood remain a burden that will dwindle only within decades. Furthermore, an unknown dise...
