BACKGROUND Home Based Management of fever (HBM) was introduced as a national policy in Uganda to increase access to prompt presumptive treatment of malaria. Pre-packed Chloroquine/Fansidar combination is distributed free of charge to febrile children <5 years. Persisting fever or danger signs are referred to the health centre. We assessed overall referral rate, causes of referral, referral comp...

Piecewise-type nonlinearities, such as clutch dampers in a torsional system, induce complex nonlinear dynamic behaviors that resemble super- and sub-harmonic responses. This study focuses on investigating the responses induced by piecewise-type nonlinearities middle of various vibratory system. To examine characteristics regime, harmonic balance method (HBM) was implemented. Its results were co...

background : the systematic application of pap test helps early diagnosis and effective treatment of cervical cancer. this study was conducted to assess the effect of education on health beliefs and practice of women eligible for pap test using health belief model (hbm). methods : this quasi-experimental study was conducted in hamadan city, the west of iran, in 2010 using before-after design. i...

The emergence of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) brings new opportunities to boost the performance sorting acceleration on FPGAs, which was conventionally bounded by available off-chip bandwidth. However, it is nontrivial for designers fully utilize this immense First, existing sorter designs cannot be directly scaled at increasing rate bandwidth, as required on-chip resource usage grows a much fas...

Abstract Many types of sustainably-prepared functional biochar catalysts are needed to transform biomass substrates into platform chemicals. In this work, weak-acid were prepared by mix ball-milled (10 min, isothermal, room temperature) cherry blossom tree leaf (BM) with humic acid (H) prior carbonization samples for 1 h under nitrogen gas. Characterization the as-prepared materials (HBM-carbon...

Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) are widely used in a number of cell therapies and have osteogenic differentiation capacity. Exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) increases the osteogenic differentiation of hBM-MSCs. Nanomagnetic particles (MPs) also promote the differentiation potential of stem cells. In the present study, we investigated the effects of EMFs and ...

PURPOSE: Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) are a promising source for cell therapy due to their proregenerative and immunomodulatory effects. These properties can be enhanced by engineering MSCs to overexpress and secrete growth factors favorable to wound healing processes. Here, we aimed to develop a platform for targeted gene insertion in human bone marrow (hBM)-MSCs that utilizes CRISPR/Cas9 ...

Optical network, which can provide guaranteed quality of service (QoS) connections, is considered as a promising infrastructure for grid computing to solve more and more complex scientific problems. When optical links are regarded as resources and jointly scheduled with other grid resources, communication contention must be taken into consideration for efficient task scheduling. This paper mode...

Cell behaviour such as adhesion, morphology, proliferation and functional activity are highly influenced by surface properties including hydrophobicity, roughness, texture and morphology. These surface properties may be controlled using a mixture of additive coating techniques to produce glass coatings by sol-gel process and soft lithography on dental ceramics. The purpose of this work was to c...
