The Sturm–Liouville hierarchy of evolution equations was introduced in [Adv. Nonlinear Stud. 11 (2011), 555–591] and includes the Korteweg–de Vries and the Camassa– Holm hierarchies. We discuss some solutions of this hierarchy which are obtained as limits of algebro-geometric solutions. The initial data of our solutions are (generalized) reflectionless Sturm–Liouville potentials [Stoch. Dyn. 8 ...

The entire intervening sequence of Tetrahymena thermophila ribosomal DNA has been determined. It is 413 nucleotides long and has the same splice junctions as those in T. pigmentosa. There is 93% homology between the intervening sequences in the two species, and 100% homology between their adjacent 26S RNA coding regions.

Abstract Aim To uncover the practical efficacy of intra-operative peritoneal fluid sampling and impact on antibiotic prescription clinical outcomes in patients undergoing emergency surgery due to intra-abdominal infections. Method Our retrospective study included all for infections at Southend University Hospital over 6 months (January – July 2019). Data was collected from electronic patient re...

BACKGROUND Patients' escape from hospital imposes a significant cost to patients as well as the health system. Besides, for these patients, exposure to adverse events (such as suicide, self-harm, violence and harm to hospital reputation) are more likely to occur compared to others. The present study aimed to determine the characteristics of the absconding patients in a general hospital through ...

A research project into large group decision-making in a New England Town Meeting surprised us with the degree to which sustainability came to be the axis around which political debate revolved. We identified two very different yet overlapping conceptions of sustainability: one emphasized fiscal responsibility; the other asserted the merits of environmental stewardship. Each of the two concepti...

PURPOSE We aimed to reduce unnecessary prostatic biopsy in patients with high prostate-specific antigen (PSA) by consideration of prostatic inflammation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The investigation was conducted prospectively in 413 patients with a PSA level of 4 to 10 ng/ml from January 2004 to December 2009. All patients underwent the expressed prostatic secretion (EPS) or voided bladder urine ...

We wish to understand how organ-specific structures assemble during embryonic development. In the present paper, we consider what determines the subapical position of the terminal web in the intestinal cells of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The terminal web refers to the organelle-depleted, intermediate filament-rich layer of cytoplasm that underlies the apical microvilli of polarized ep...

We describe CD4 counts at 6-month intervals for 5 years after combination antiretroviral therapy initiation among 12 879 antiretroviral-naive human immunodeficiency virus-infected adults from Latin America and the Caribbean. Median CD4 counts increased from 154 cells/mm(3) at baseline (interquartile range [IQR], 60-251) to 413 cells/mm(3) (IQR, 234-598) by year 5.
