Abstract The paper studies the influence of light weight aerated autoclaved concrete (AAC) partitioning walls to a medium height reinforced structure, in Bucharest (Romania). building is designed as framed structure with non-bearing AAC placed certain bays. There bearing full bricks masonry wall one Full are used because its high strength compared AAC. aim determine importance placement, both a...

BACKGROUND Acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) is traditionally known to occur in critically ill patients, following cardiac surgery, abdominal vascular surgery, severe trauma, burns, prolonged fasting, total parenteral nutrition, or sepsis, and is believed to have a worse prognosis as compared with acute cholecystitis associated with stones. Our observation of de novo presentation of AAC in s...

We measured in vitro activity of plazomicin, a next-generation aminoglycoside, and other aminoglycosides against 50 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains from two centers and correlated the results with the presence of various aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes (AMEs). Ninety-four percent of strains were sequence type 258 (ST258) clones, which exhibited 5 ompK36 genotypes; 80% and 10...

MP3 is the popular audio coding standard. But now, a new higher quality audio coding standard Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is proposed and widely used. The quantization/re-quantization is essential in both MP3 and AAC. It proposes a new high accuracy estimation algorithm for MP3 and MEPG-4 AAC audio coding. The algorithm can be applied not only for re-quantization process in decoder, but also fo...

High Zn and Cu fecal concentrations impact the environment. Zn and Cu reductions in feed have compromised swine performance. Substituting amino acid chelated (AAC) sources for traditionally employed inorganic salts (IM) may overcome environmental and swine performance problems. A preliminary study demonstrated less 65Zn was deposited in rat feces due to greater AAC absorption compared to IM (P ...

Acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC), inflammation of the gallbladder without evidence of calculi, comprises approximately 10% of all cases of acute cholecystitis. Although the mechanism of AAC has not yet been sufficiently clarified, the most commonly postulated theories regarding its pathogenesis are bile stasis, sepsis and ischemia. We present a case of AAC associated with ischemia of the ga...

Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and complex communication needs often rely on augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) as a means of functional communication. This meta-analysis investigated how individual characteristics moderate effectiveness of three types of aided AAC: the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), speech-generating devices (SGDs), and other pict...

We present an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) training program provided to 20 special education teachers in a Palestinian Arab community in Israel. The training program consisted of didactic workshops interleaved with on-site supervision. Instructional goals included creating awareness, imparting knowledge, and assisting teachers to develop and use AAC within their classrooms. ...

Original scientific paper Support of ICT in Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) has been recognized as the key enabler of better inclusion of persons with complex communication needs into everyday life. Due to complex, and often very individual, communication needs, such persons need the ability to quickly adapt graphical user interfaces according to their needs, skills, impairment...
