This is no learned treatise, but an attempt to discuss the simple methods by which comparatively accurate blood pressure readings may be estimated. Such estimations are not only of great importance in life assurance work, but in the general workaday life of practice: and it is surprising how often this simple procedure is either omitted or performed perfunctorily with consequent unprofitable re...

The procedures for bone and bone marrow section preparation, immunostaining conditions and antibodies are described in Supplementary Methods. The procedure for BrdU pulse labeling, LTR and subsequent detection has been reported. The mice were fed BrdU (0.8 mg ml in water) for 10 days, during which time 40% of LT-HSCs would divide at least once. Seventy days after BrdU labelling, sections were s...

BACKGROUND Occupational tuberculosis (TB) continues to plague the healthcare workforce in South Africa. A 2-year cluster randomized controlled trial was therefore launched in 27 public hospitals in Free State province, to better understand how a combined workforce and workplace program can improve health of the healthcare workforce. OBJECTIVE This mid-term evaluation aimed to analyze how well...

in this paper, the notion of the digital divide has been described, and a few analyzing methods of digital divide have been reviewed. analyzing methods of digital divide are called indices which have different indicators and different formulas for calculation. since data collection for an indicator may be difficult, calculating an index is an essential problem. we collected and calculated some ...

BACKGROUND Despite the amount of online health information, there are several barriers that limit the Internet's adoption as a source of health information. One of these barriers is highlighted in conceptualizations of the digital divide which include the differential possession of Internet skills, or "eHealth literacy". Most measures of Internet skills among populations at large use self-asses...

The paper explores the feasibility of using machine learning techniques, in particular neural networks, for classification experimental data from joint $^\text{nat}$C(n,p) and $^\text{nat}$C(n,d) reaction cross section measurement neutron time flight facility n_TOF at CERN. Each relevant $\Delta E$-$E$ pair strips two segmented silicon telescopes is treated separately afforded its own dedicated...

The minimal number of parallel cuts required to divide a cake into n pieces is n 1. A new 3person procedure, requiring two parallel cuts, is given that produces an envy-free division, whereby each person thinks he or she receives at least a tied-for-largest piece. An extension of this procedure leads to a 4-person division, using three parallel cuts, which makes at most one person envious. Fina...

The development of deep learning techniques has allowed Neural Machine Translation (NMT) models to become extremely powerful, given sufficient training data and time. However, systems struggle when translating text from a new domain with distinct style or vocabulary. Fine-tuning on in-domain allows good adaptation, but requires relevant bilingual data. Even if this is available, simple fine-tun...

The paramedian forehead flap has become the standard of care for major nasal reconstruction. The classic procedure involves a second-stage operation to divide and inset the external pedicle. We present our experience in a clinical series using single-stage forehead flap reconstruction. Our indications include elderly patients, pediatric patients treated during mission trips, and any patient in ...
