Marchand, Charlotte (2017). Phytoremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons and trace elements contaminated soil, Linnaeus University Dissertation No 279/2017, ISBN: 978-91-88357-63-2. Written in English with a summary in Swedish and French. The rapid urbanization and industrialization has led to an increase of disposal petroleum hydrocarbons (PHC) and trace elements (TE) into the environment. These...

The Principle of Homology Continuity (PHC) based covering learning method is an effective to solve the pattern recognition problem. However, PHC and existence optimal coverage are not mathematical proven. To address this issue, we firstly give description theoretical proof PHC. On basis, definition introduced. Optimal can determine internal connections among samples as prior knowledge use neuro...

There are conflicting results regarding the erythrocyte membrane cholesterol and phospholipid content in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia (PHC), due to methodological problems in obtaining haemoglobin-free ghosts. At the same time, the different units used and the fact that the cholesterol and phospholipids are not expressed in relation with integral protein membrane content, produces...

To date, only few studies have assessed oral immunotherapy (OIT) for wheat allergy and often describe severe adverse reactions during therapy. We developed partially hydrolyzed wheat-based cereals (pHC), which were used in a multicenter, open-label, OIT pilot study, in immunoglobulin E-mediated wheat allergy children (NCT01332084). The primary objective of the study was to test whether wheat al...

BACKGROUND The primary health care (PHC) network contributed considerably to improving health outcomes in rural Iran. However, the health system suffers from inadequate responses to ever-increasing demands. In 2005, a reform comprised of a family physician (FP) programme and universal health insurance was implemented in all rural areas and cities with a population of <20 000. We explored the ro...

Paecilomyces hepiali is a fungus widely used in Asian countries for various potential pharmacological activities. The present study aims to evaluate the antidiabetic and antinephritic effects of the Paecilomyces hepiali mycelium water extract (PHC) in diabetic rat, which is established by eight-week high-fat diet administration followed by one-week tail intravenous injection of 25 mg/kg strepto...

The article examines the results of the overview of PHC (Primary Healthcare) in Uruguay in 2009, within the context of the multicentric study of PHC with a view to identifying possibilities of redefining PHC as a strategy to achieve universal healthcare systems, taking into account the healthcare system's segmentation and fragmentation. The methodology included document analysis, key informant ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to measure changes in the Primary Health Care (PHC) physicians` knowledge towards mental illnesses after a short-term training course. METHODS The interventive study consisted of a sample of 31 PHC physicians randomly selected from different PHC centers in Eastern Saudi Arabia. The physicians were exposed to a 4-day intensive training course in mental...

The distinction between schizophrenia and chronic delusional syndromes (including the French concept of "psychose hallucinatoire chronique" [PHC] or chronic psychotic hallucinations, paraphrenia, and late paraphrenia) is currently used in various European countries, although there are no international criteria for chronic and bizarre delusions. The French concept of PHC is characterized by late...

Progress on the fabrication of ultrahigh-Q photonic-crystal nanocavities (PhC-NCs) has revealed the prospect for new applications including silicon Raman lasers that require a strong confinement of light. Among various PhC-NCs, the highest Q has been recorded with silicon. On the other hand, microcavity is one of the basic building blocks in silicon photonics. However, the fusion between PhC-NC...
