Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 has been detected in ocular tissues; however, the mechanism of entry has not been established. It has been hypothesized that the blood-retinal barrier (BRB), a critical guardian against microbial invasion of the eye, may be compromised in the presence of HIV-1 in the eye. In vivo and in vitro model systems have shown that the breach of tight junctions induce...

The farmers in the Bow River Basin (BRB), Canada, have adopted water conservation strategies to reduce needs. This reduction, however, encouraged expansion of irrigation, which may rebound agricultural demands. paradox requires an understanding human adaptation drought by mapping individual farmers’ decisions dynamics basin-wide demand. We develop agent-based demand (ABAD) model, simulating beh...

This paper investigated the vulnerability of agriculture sector and rural livelihoods in Bicol River Basin (BRB) Philippines to projected changes climate. The geographical characteristics BRB feature eight major sub-basins or watersheds consisting Libmanan-Pulantuna, Ragay Hills, Thiris, Naga-Yabo, Pawili River, Waras-Lalo, Naporog, Quinali. study applied combination participatory tools Climate...

this paper is a continuation of [uniformities and covering properties for partial frames (i)], in which we make use of the notion of a partial frame, which is a meet-semilattice in which certain designated subsets are required to have joins, and finite meets distribute over these. after presenting there our axiomatization of partial frames, which we call $sels$-frames, we added structure, in th...

Disipasi energi pada elemen dilakukan melalui kinerja plastifikasi bagian inti akibat beban tarik dan tekan. Penelitian ini berisi kajian dari bangunan rangka baja beraturan dengan (BRB) variasi level ketinggian lantai yaitu 3 lantai, 8 15 lantai. Analisis 3D dua prosedur analisis modal pushov...

partial frames provide a rich context in which to do pointfree structured and unstructured topology. a small collection of axioms of an elementary nature allows one to do much traditional pointfree topology, both on the level of frames or locales, and that of uniform or metric frames. these axioms are sufficiently general to include as examples bounded distributive lattices, $sigma$-frames, $ka...

Deep dysgraphic patients make semantic errors when writing to dictation and they cannot write nonwords. Extant reports of deep dysgraphia come from languages with relatively opaque orthographies. Turkish is a transparent orthography because the bidirectional mappings between phonology and orthography are completely predictable. We report BRB, a biscriptal Turkish-English speaker who has acquire...

Cognitive impairment affects approximately half of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. The Multiple Sclerosis Neuropsychological Questionnaire (MSNQ) has previously demonstrated validity for detecting cognitive impairment in MS, and is quick and easy to complete. The objective was to validate an internet version of the MSNQ. The following were completed at home over the internet for 82 MS patient...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate and characterise cognitive impairment in the very early stage of multiple sclerosis (MS), in which patients are still diagnosed as suffering from probable MS. METHODS The Brief Repeatable Battery-Neuropsychological (BRB-N) that has been validated for MS patients was used. Abnormal performance was defined as one standard deviation below the mean reported for healthy age ...
