The recently approved angiotensin II receptor blocker, azilsartan medoxomil (AZL), was determined spectrophotometrically and spectrofluorimetrically in its combination with chlorthalidone (CLT) in their combined dosage form. The UV-spectrophotometric technique depends on simultaneous measurement of the first derivative spectra for AZL and CLT at 286 and 257 nm, respectively, in methanol. The sp...

In many real-world situations, different and often opposite opinions, innovations, or products are competing with one another for their social influence in a networked society. In this paper, we study competitive influence propagation in social networks under the competitive linear threshold (CLT) model, an extension to the classic linear threshold model. Under the CLT model, we focus on the pr...

BACKGROUND This was an evaluation of intra-individual variation of the cuff-leak test (ΔCLT) immediately post-intubation and pre-extubation, as a predictor of post-extubation stridor. METHODS Prospective, clinical investigation in the ICU of a non-university hospital. CLTs were performed immediately after intubation (T0) and before extubation (T1) to evaluate the differences in cuff leak (ΔCL...

PURPOSE To establish a standard clinical procedure for measuring intraocular pressure (Po) with the contact lens tonometer (CLT), to demonstrate possibilities for analyzing ocular pulsation and performing ophthalmodynamometry. METHODS A reliable histogram-based analyzing system for determining Po is used. First, the ocular pressure was registered with the CLT method and compared with the Gold...

In this paper, authenticity of English language teaching methods is evaluated with and Without Post-Method Condition. Some defining Communicative Language Teaching are mentioned along with the origin, theoretical background and major characteristic features. Although Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is one of the best and a recent approach in teaching English as foreign / second language a...

We study the behavior of infinite systems of coupled harmonic oscillators as the time t → ∞, and generalize the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) to show that their reduced Wigner distributions become Gaussian under quite general conditions. This shows that generalized coherent states tend to be produced naturally. A sufficient condition for this to happen is shown to be that the spectral function is...

We have examined the effect of hydroxyurea (HU), clotrimazole (CLT), magnesium oxide (Mg), and combined CLT1Mg therapies on the erythrocyte characteristics and their response to chronic hypoxia in a transgenic sickle mouse (SAD) model. SAD mice were treated for 21 days with 1 of the following regimens (administered by gavage): control (n 5 6), HU (200 mg/d; n 5 6), CLT (80 mg/kg/d, n 5 5), Mg (...

Language proficiency in bilingualism, and hence bilingual aphasia, is a multifaceted phenomenon: influenced by variables such as age of onset, literacy, usage patterns, and emotional valence. Although the majority of the world and growing US population is bilingual, relatively little is known about the best practices for language therapy in bilingual aphasia. This systematic review was undertak...

Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) has started to find more applications in medical education research. Unfortunately, misconceptions such as lower cognitive load always being beneficial to learning and the continued use of dated concepts and methods can result in improper applications of CLT principles in medical education design and research. This review outlines how CLT has evolved and presents a s...

We analyze the fluctuations of incomplete U-statistics over a triangular array independent random variables. give criteria for Central Limit Theorem (CLT, short) to hold in sense that we prove an appropriately scaled and centered version U-statistic converges normal variable. Our method proof relies on martingale CLT. An application, CLT hitting time walks graphs, will be presented Löwe Terveer...
