In the current study, the child AQ was administered in Japan, to examine whether the UK results for reliability and validity generalize to a different culture. Assessment groups were: Group 1: n = 81 children with Asperger Syndrome (AS) or high-functioning autism (HFA); Group 2: n = 22 children diagnosed PDD-NOS with average IQ; and Group 3: n = 372 randomly selected controls from primary and s...

Let f ∈ L2(S2) be an arbitrary fixed function on the unit sphere S2, and D ⊂R3 be an arbitrary fixed bounded domain. Let k > 0 and α ∈ S2 be fixed. It is proved that there exists a potential q ∈ L2(D) such that the corresponding scattering amplitude A(α′) = Aq(α′) = Aq(α′, α, k) approximates f (α′) with arbitrary high accuracy: ‖f (α′)−Aq(α′)L2(S2)‖ ε where ε > 0 is an arbitrarily small fixed n...

This is a review article covering literature reported on consolidation of ceramic components out of aq.-based Al2O3, MgAl2O4 spinel, β-Si4Al2O2N6, β-SiAlON-SiO2 composite, and zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) slurries following hydrolysis induced aq. gelcasting (henceforth referred to as GCHAS) route. GCHAS is a combination of aq. gelcasting (GC) and hydrolysis assisted solidification (HAS) rou...

PURPOSE Aggression in people with epilepsy (PWE) is not well understood. We investigated interictal aggression in PWE and clarified predictors and the interrelationships among them. METHOD This was a case-control study. Eligible subjects who consecutively visited the epilepsy clinic completed several questionnaires including the Aggression Questionnaire (AQ), the Revised Stigma Scale (RSS), t...

BACKGROUND Artesunate+amodiaquine (AS+AQ) and artemether-lumefantrine (AL) are now the most frequently recommended first line treatments for uncomplicated malaria in Africa. Artesunate+chlorproguanil-dapsone (AS+CD) was a potential alternative for treatment of uncomplicated malaria. A comparison of the efficacy and safety of these three drug combinations was necessary to make evidence based dru...

BACKGROUND Inadequate designs and conflicting results from previous studies prompted the US Food and Drug Administration to publish guidelines for the design of clinical trials evaluating the effects of orally inhaled and intranasal corticosteroids on the growth of children. This study conformed to these guidelines to evaluate the effect of triamcinolone acetonide aqueous nasal spray (TAA-AQ) o...

We undertook a trial of artesunate + amodiaquine (AS + AQ) and artesunate + sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (AS + SP) in 180 children of age 6-59 months with uncomplicated malaria in Democratic Republic of Congo. Children were randomly allocated to receive 3 days observed treatment of AS + AQ (n = 90) or 3 days of AS + SP (n = 90). Primary efficacy outcomes were 28-day parasite recurrence rates, and...
