INTRODUCTION Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe diarrhoea among infants and young children. Each year more than 611 000 children die from rotavirus gastroenteritis, and two million are hospitalized, worldwide. In Kenya, the impact of recent rotavirus vaccinations on morbidities has not been estimated. The study aimed at determining the prevalence and identity of rotavirus strains isolated...

This study aimed to evaluate how different percentages of guar meal in feed rations for broiler chickens affect their rearing performance and carcass composition. The experiment was conducted a group one hundred sixty Ross 308 broilers randomly allocated four equinumerous groups (K, G4, G8 G12). birds were reared over 42 days with the application three feeding periods: starter (days 1–21), grow...

The use of impulse oscillometry (IOS) for lung function testing does not need patient cooperation and has gained increasing popularity among both young senior populations, as well in patients with breathing difficulties. However, studies the IOS sensitivity to regional obstructions are limited have shown mixed results. objective this study was evaluate performance an system 3D-printed models st...

This paper introduces a set of axioms that define convex risk measures. Duality theory provides the representation theorem for these measures and the link with pricing rules. 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. JEL classification: G11; G12; G13

The G and P type specificity of the human rotavirus strain T-152 (G12P[9]) isolated in Thailand was serologically confirmed with G12-specific monoclonal antibodies prepared in this study by using a reference G12 strain, L26, as an immunizing antigen and a P[9]-specific monoclonal antibody, respectively. The genomic relationship of strain T-152 with representative human rotavirus strains was exa...

Epigenetic gene silencing by aberrant DNA methylation of gene promoter regions is a nonmutagenic but heritable epigenetic mechanism that may mistakenly cause the silencing of important cancer-related tumor suppressor genes. Using a transgenic, V79-derived, mammalian cell line (G12) that contains a bacterial gpt reporter gene in its DNA, we can study carcinogen-induced gene inactivation by mutag...
