OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of topical zinc sulphate solution in the treatment of plane and common warts. METHODS This study consisted of a pilot and double blinded clinical trails. This was carried out in the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Baghdad Teaching Hospital, Baghadad, Iraq during the period from December 2002 to October 2003. Ten patients with plane warts ...

Highly toxic industrial effluents are often difficult to treat in biological wastewater treatment plants (BWWTP). Results obtained during a previous pilot-plant study allowed the identification of key parameters needed for the degradation of high concentrations of cyanides, thiocyanates and ammonium[13]. Kinetic models and parameter values were given for the pilot conditions using a synthetic e...

In this paper, we investigate the system performance of a multi-cell multi-user (MU) hybrid millimeter wave (mmWave) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) network adopting the channel estimation algorithm proposed in [1] for channel estimation. Due to the reuse of orthogonal pilot symbols among different cells, the channel estimation is expected to be affected by pilot contamination, which is c...

STOCK DEFINITION AND GEOGRAPHIC RANGE There are two species of pilot whales in the Western Atlantic: the Atlantic or long-finned pilot whale, Globicephala melas, and the short-finned pilot whale, G. macrorhynchus. These species are difficult to identify to the species level at sea; therefore, some of the descriptive material below refers to Globicephala sp. and is identified as such. The specie...

In this paper, global optimisation and nonlinear simulation are used to search for the worst-case control demands which may be input by a pilot flying a modern high performance aircraft with a full authority flight control law. The flexibility of global optimisation is exploited to simultaneously search for worst-case pilot inputs and worst-case combinations of uncertain parameters in the nonli...

Researcher: Yoko Kunii Title: Student Pilot Situational Awareness: The Effects of Trust in Technology Institution: Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Degree: Master of Science in Aeronautics Year: 2006 The purpose of this research was to evaluate the general level of trust in technology in student pilots and then to determine the relationship between pilots’ trust and their situational awaren...

To determine whether rapid HIV tests in public health centers might encourage voluntary HIV testing, a pilot project was conducted in four selected public health centers in Seoul, 2014. During the period April 10 to November 28 of pilot project, 3,356 rapid tests were performed, and 38 were confirmed as positive. The monthly average numbers of voluntary HIV tests and HIV-positive cases were up ...

In this paper we argue that e-government initiatives need to take the competence involved in producing high-quality services for citizens into account. We draw on insights from a Pilot project in a Norwegian municipal aiming at radically re-structuring the Norwegian welfare sector and show how the competence to provide high-quality services rely on the collective achievement of individuals’ kno...
