Plasmodium falciparum infections are frequently fatal if untreated and hence need to be diagnosed and treated early. Malaria diagnosis, with conventional Giemsa staining as a gold standard, has had several limitations. New rapid and accurate methods are needed for diagnosis. In this study, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis specific for diagnosis of P. falciparum was evaluated. For the st...

 In network code setting, a constant dimension code is a set of k-dimensional subspaces of F nq . If F_q n is a nondegenerated symlectic vector space with bilinear form f, an isotropic subspace U of F n q is a subspace that for all x, y ∈ U, f(x, y) = 0. We introduce isotropic subspace codes simply as a set of isotropic subspaces and show how the isotropic property use in decoding process, then...

In spin-orbit-coupled magnetic materials, the usually applied Curie-Weiss law can break down. This is due to potentially sharp temperature dependence of local moments. We therefore propose a modified formula suitable for analysis experimental susceptibility. show octahedrally coordinated materials ${d}^{5}$ filling that Weiss constant obtained from improved in excellent agreement with calculate...

The flow of water through nanochannels has promising applications in desalination, energy conversion, and nanomedicine. We have used molecular dynamics simulations to show that the molecules passing a wide single-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) get aligned by net dipole moment along direction. With increasing velocity, first increases eventually saturates constant value. This behavior is similar a...

We present the results of a systematic investigation into how coercivity and maximum energy product NdFeB permanent magnets are affected by magnetic geometric microscopic properties. The based on numerical micromagnetic simulations carried out with open source framework MagTense. considered artificially generated realistic microstructures for which we can control number crystal grains as well t...

For a system of noninteracting electrons scattered by neutral impurities, we derive a modified Boltzmann equation that includes quasiparticle and virial corrections. We start from a quasiclassical transport equation for nonequilibrium Green’s functions and apply a limit of small scattering rates. The resulting transport equation for quasiparticles has gradient corrections to scattering integral...

These lecture notes are dedicated to Dierk Rainer on the occassion of his 60th birthday in 2001. He pioneered the systematic treatment of the low-energy scale in the electronic theory of condensed matter.

We read the interesting paper by Pardi et al on the epidemiology of microscopic colitis in Olmsted County, Minnesota, USA (Gut 2007; 56: 504–8). They concluded that the incidence of microscopic colitis increased significantly over time, and by the end of the study, the incidence and prevalence were significantly higher than reported previously. In fact, compared with other epidemiological studi...
