The Treponema pallidum immobilization (TPI) test has received wide attention as a diagnostic test for syphilis, but few studies have appeared on the response of this test to adequate treatment for syphilis. The Blue Star study of the Public Health Service (Bauer, 1951 ; Shafer, Usilton, and Price, 1954) offered a group of patients who had had bonafide syphilis, who had been adequately treated, ...

O artigo analisa os precedentes do Tribunal Penal Internacional (tpi) que trataram da exclusão de provas obtidas ilicitamente com base na alínea "b" 69(7) Estatuto Roma. Esse dispositivo prevê uma norma altamente discricionária, segundo a qual prova obtida por meio violação direitos humanos internacionalmente reconhecidos pode ser excluída processo se sua admissão, nas circunstâncias em foi col...

The addition of lysozyme to the survival medium has been shown (Metzger, Hardy, and Nell, 1961) to increase the rate of immobilization of Treponema pallidum by syphilitic serum and complement; this might allow T. pallidum immobilization (TPI) tests to be completed in a working day. But, more important from the point of view of diagnosis, was the possibility of increasing the sensitivity of the ...

Framework for Improving the Testing Process When I wrote my book Critical Testing Processes in the early 2000s, I started with the premise that some test processes are critical, some are not. I designed this lightweight framework for test process improvement in order to focus the test team and test manager on a few test areas that they simply must do properly. This contrasts with the more expan...

O presente trabalho procurou analisar como o princípio da complementariedade previsto no Estatuto de Roma representa demonstração responsabilidade subsidiária do Tribunal Penal Internacional (TPI), forma evitar a propositura pedidos apuração perante aquela corte sem obediência requisitos prévios admissibilidade. Alguns dos passos galgados para chegar lá foram apresentar os aspectos históricos T...

A Terra Preta de Índio (TPI) são manchas solo cuja origem é atribuída à ocupação humana antigos povos que habitaram a Amazônia. Além serem ricas em nutrientes, principalmente o fósforo inorgânico (Pi), as TPI possuem grandes quantidade fragmentos cerâmicos arqueológico (FCA). As quantidades Pi presentes nos FCA também elevadas, os caracterizam como uma fonte importante deste nutriente na TPI. S...

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using two-photon imaging (TPI) to assess the condition of human corneas for transplantation. Methods Human corneas were imaged after different storage times: short-term (STS), medium-term (MTS), and long-term (LTS) storage. A high-resolution, custom-built 5-dimensional multiphoton microscope with 12-fs pulsed laser excitatio...

The ability of terahertz pulsed imaging (TPI) to be employed as an analytical tool for monitoring a film coating unit operation and to assess the success of a subsequent process scale-up was explored in this study. As part of a process scale-up development, a total of 190 sustained-release tablets were sampled at 10% increments of the amount of polymer applied, from a lab-scale and a pilot-scal...

UMN-TH-1924/00 TPI-MINN-00/48 CERN-TH/2000-288 astro-ph/0010121 October 2000 The recent observations of an approximately linear relationship between both Be and B and iron in metal poor stars has led to a reassessment of the origin of the light elements in the early Galaxy. In addition to standard secondary production of BeB, it is necessary to introduce a production mechanism which is independ...

Native flower visitors removed less nectar from trypsin proteinase inhibitor (TPI)-silenced Nicotiana attenuata plants (ir-pi) than from wild-type plants in four field seasons of releases, even when the nectar repellent, nicotine, was also silenced. Analysis of floral chemistry revealed no differences in the emission of the floral attractants benzylacetone and benzaldehyde or in the concentrati...
