Background and Aim: In recent decades, the emergence of resistant strains of staphylococcus aureus, pneumococci, enterococcus and intestinal gram-negative bacteria due to the inappropriate use of antibiotics has emphasized the necessity of proper use of antibiotics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the appropriate antibiotic administration by general practitioner in the emergency departmen...

We consider grid approximations of a boundary value problem for the boundary layer equations modeling flow along a flat plate in a region excluding a neighbourhood of the leading edge. The problem is singularly perturbed with the perturbation parameter ε = 1/Re multiplying the highest derivative. Here the parameter ε takes any values from the half-interval (0,1], and Re is the Reynolds number. ...

Pregroups were introduced in (Lambek, 1999), and provide a foundation for a particularly simple syntactic calculus. Buszkowski (2001) showed that free pregroup grammars generate exactly the -free context-free languages. Here we characterize the class of languages generable by all pregroups, which will be shown to be the entire class of recursively enumerable languages. To show this result, we r...

Re R and Re W allow a parent to consent to treatment a competent minor refuses, but the cases have not been tested post-Human Rights Act 1998. Gilmore and Herring offer a means by which they might be distinguished or sidelined. They interpret Gillick to say that in order to consent a minor need only have a full understanding of the particular treatment. They argue that the minors in Re R and Re...
