Abstract Background Trans and non-binary (TNB) patients confront various issues in the healthcare system with workers (HCWs) tasked navigating complex systems to achieve optimal outcomes. The most time intensive intimate contact TNB have is typically physicians making physician-patient relationship instrumental. This study aimed explore experiences of patient-physician Austria order identify ca...

Virtual machines raise the abstraction level of the execution environment at the cost of restricting the set of supported languages. Moreover, the ability of a language implementation to integrate with other languages hosted on the same virtual machine typically constrains the features of the language. In this paper, we present a highly flexible yet efficient approach to hosting multiple progra...

E-learning refers to the use of electronic technologies to deliver and facilitate training anytime, anyplace. The major challenge in e-learning is that the learner is unable to extract relevant information on the web. Ontology-based semantic retrieval is a hotspot of current research. Ontologies play an important role in the development of knowledge. This paper proposes ontology based semantic ...

background: hepatitis c virus (hcv) is the major cause of post-transfusion hepatitis infection (pth). patients with thalassemia major are at high risk of hepatitis c due to the blood transfusion from donors infected by hcv. the aim of this study was to detect the prevalence of anti-hcv antibodies and risk factors in multitransfused thalassemic patients in isfahan-iran to establish more preventi...

background and objectives: beta-thalassemia continues to be a cause of significant burden to the society particularly in the poorer developing countries. although sophisticated methods of screening have become available, a hunt for a cheap, rapid, objective screening method still remains elusive. thus, the objectives are to study the validity of naked-eye-single-tube-osmotic-fragility-test (nes...

The Cartier-Perrin theorem, which was published in 1995 and is expressed in the language of nonstandard analysis, permits, for the first time perhaps, a clear-cut mathematical definition of the volatility of a financial asset. It yields as a byproduct a new understanding of the means of returns, of the beta coefficient, and of the Sharpe and Treynor ratios. New estimation techniques from automa...
