In spite of the remarkable progress made by the medical science in the last century, the effectiveness of tuberculosis (TB) treatment and vaccination has remained less than satisfactory. This has placed a very high burden on the public health systems of the third world. Annually, about 1.5 million deaths are attributed to TB [1]. The number of new cases seems to be on the rise, topping 9 millio...

is added to grapefruit pulp the pulp acts as a bland filler and makes an apple pie. If peach is added it makes a peach pie. Citric acid, sugar and peel oil give excellent orange, grapefruit and tangerine jams. A little' peel oil, sunset yellow, No. 6 and sugar makes a good ice cream mix. Add more sugar and you have a good sundae topping. Cake fillings were made from the jams but they gave troub...

In this paper we establish the uniformity property of a simplified Ericksen-Leslie system modelling the hydrodynamics of nematic liquid crystals on the two dimensional unit sphere S, namely the uniform convergence in L to a steady state exponentially as t tends to infinity. The main assumption, similar to Topping [15], concerns the equation of liquid crystal director d and states that at infini...

BACKGROUND The 360° fusion of lumbar segments is a common and well-researched therapy to treat various diseases of the spine. But it changes the biomechanics of the spine and may cause adjacent segment disease (ASD). Among the many techniques developed to avoid this complication, one appears promising. It combines a rigid fusion with a flexible pedicle screw system (hybrid instrumentation, "top...

In this paper, we construct local and global solutions to the K\"ahler-Ricci flow from a non-collapsed K\"ahler manifold with curvature bounded below. Combines mollification technique of McLeod-Simon-Topping, show that Gromov-Hausdorff limit sequence complete noncompact manifolds orthogonal bisectional Ricci below is homeomorphic complex manifold. We also use it study structure nonnegative curv...

combined cycle performance can be improved by improving the performance of gas turbine based topping cycle. amongst various options the effective cooling of gas turbine blade for realizing the higher turbine inlet temperatures is one of the attractive options. the present paper deals with the thermodynam-ic analysis of advanced technology gas/steam combined cycle based power plant having closed...

The study aimed to determine trend of Indonesian local food consumption and its association with body mass index (BMI) among female university students. It was cross-sectional that involved 217 students (18-25 years old) in April-May 2021 using conventional sampling by a self-administered online questionnaire Malang City, East Java, Indonesia. Sociodemographic dietary habits were collected alon...
