During the past winter in Benares tiie jveather was very cold, especially during the unar eclipse and all the cases of eclampsia admitted to the Ishwaria Memorial Hospital Were of a severe type. In December there were iree cases treated by the routine morphine and c lloroform method; these were all fatal. In anuary I resolved to try one of the newer methods of treatment for this disease. ten ca...

Oxidative stabilisation of mesophase pitch is well known to severely limit the dimensions of artifacts formed from it or, for slightly larger artifacts, to be time-consuming and costly (Gallego, Edie, Nysten, Issi, Treleaven, and Deshpande, 2000). Control and understanding of this step is of very great interest in the production of highly oriented graphitisable material as it could lead to a dr...

Using the tools of semiconvex duality and max-plus algebra, this work derives a new fundamental solution for the matrix differential Riccati equation (DRE) with time-varying coefficients. Such a fundamental solution, is the counterpart of the state transition matrix in linear time-varying differential equations, and can solve the DRE analytically starting with any initial condition. By parametr...

Title of dissertation: DECLARATIVE CLEANING, ANALYSIS, AND QUERYING OF GRAPH-STRUCTURED DATA Walaa Eldin Moustafa, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Dissertation directed by: Professor Amol Deshpande, Professor Lise Getoor, Department of Computer Science Much of today’s data including social, biological, sensor, computer, and transportation network data is naturally modeled and represented by graphs. ...

An earlier study of the regulation of glutamate synthase (GOGAT) in Bacillus subtilis (Deshpande et al., Bichem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 95:55--60, 1980) revealed an inverse relationship between the specific activity of this essential ammonia-assimilatory enzyme and the intracellular pool of glutamine: GOGAT activity decreased when the internal glutamine concentration reached or exceeded 2.5 mM. ...

Autonomousmobile robots (AMRs) interactingwith an a prioridistributedwireless sensor network (WSN) in a region can address the three-tier challenge of navigating in unknown environments: (i) identifying target locations, (ii) planning paths to the targets, and (iii) efficiently executing the navigation paths to the targets. This paper presents low-complexity algorithms to address the second-tie...

Abstract Background Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a commonly misdiagnosed infectious condition. Stewardship interventions which successfully reduce rates of asymptomatic bacteriuria treatment (ASB) are often labor intensive, and thus systematic solution desirable. In this study, our objective was to systematically review studies evaluate the effect implementing clinical decision support syst...

Positive semi-definite matrices commonly occur as normal of least squares problems in statistics or kernel machine learning and approximation theory. They are typically large dense. Thus algorithms to solve systems with such a matrix can be very costly. A core idea reduce computational complexity is approximate the by one low rank. The optimal well understood choice based on eigenvalue decompos...

Abstract Background Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is one of the most frequently reported healthcare-associated infections in US with almost half a million cases annually. The recent IDSA guidelines recommend use bezlotoxumab (BEZ) addition to standard care (SoC) antibiotics for patients who have CDI episode and at least risk factor recurrence. objective this study was estimate budget...

Abstract Background Patients undergoing treatment for cancer or an organ transplant are often immunosuppressed and particularly susceptible to infections caused by Gram-negative pathogens, including resistant isolates. Meropenem-vaborbactam is a combination of carbapenem beta-lactamase inhibitor that effective against serine-beta-lactamases, KPC carbapenemase. We evaluated the activity meropene...
