BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In the past two decades, an increasing number of nationwide, Swedish Healthcare Quality Registries (QRs) focusing on specific disorders have been initiated, mostly by physicians. Here, we describe the purpose, organization, variables, coverage and completeness of 103 Swedish QRs. METHODS From March to September 2013, we examined the 2012 applications of 103 QRs to th...

The use of efficient and effective nodulating Bradyrhizobia strains considered as anecologically and environmentally sound management strategy for soybean production. A 2-yr(2009 and 2010) field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of seven indigenousBradyrhizobium strains, one exotic TAL-102 and three N fertilizer rates, i.e., 25, 50 and 100kg N ha-1 on the productivity and N2 fixa...

histological diagnosis of leprosy patients attending the hospital who consented to undergo slit skin smear (SSS) examination, punch biopsy and participate in the study. Fifty leprosy patients aged 5 to 70 years, which included 41 male and 9 female patients participated in the study. These included 4 TT, 24 BT, 2 BB, 5 BL and 15 LL clinically diagnosed patients as per the IAL classification (198...

Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT We report the detection of the radio pulsar counterpart to the 69 ms X-ray pulsar discovered near the supernova remnant RCW 103 (G332.4−0.4). Our detection confirms that the pulsations arise from a rotation-powered neutron star, which we name PSR J1617−5055. The observed barycentric period derivative confirms that the pulsar has a characteristic age of only 8 ...

The investigation of the photon structure has been an active field of research both theoretically and experimentally [1,2,3,4]. Also there has been growing interest in the study of the spin structure of photon. In particular, the first moment of the polarized photon structure function g 1 has attracted attention in connection with its relevance to the QED and QCD axial anomaly [5,6,7,8,9]. The ...
