In recent decades, great progress in the area of enteral nutrition has provided a large variety and commercial availability formulas, usually produced by divisions several pharmaceutical or dairy manufacturers, with specific compositions for each type disease patient condition. Despite widespread use both hospitals at home, studies performed on micronutrient adult formulas are few China. The co...

Several observations are made about a recently proposed semi-infinite programming (SIP) method for computation of linear Chebyshev approximations to complex-valued functions. A particular discretization of the SIP problem is shown to be equivalent to replacing the usual absolute value of a complex number with related estimates, resulting in a class of quasi-norms on the complex number field C, ...

Mat erial and Methods: because of its anatomical and functional relationship with the craniofacial complex, we assessed the cephalometry of the hyoid bone position in relation to the respiratory pattern of these 53 female children, with average age of 10 years; 28 of them are nasal breathers and 25 are oral breathers. Horizontal, vertical and angular cephalometric measures were used in order to...

The Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) is one of the most basic similarity measures and it captures important applications in bioinformatics and text analysis. Following the SETHbased nearly-quadratic time lower bounds for LCS from recent years [4, 22, 5, 3], it is a major open problem to understand the complexity of approximate LCS. In the last ITCS [2] drew an interesting connection between thi...

Mesocletodes Sars, 1909a encompasses 37 species to date. Initial evidence on intraspecific variability and sexual dimorphism has been verified for 77 specimens of Mesocletodes elmari sp. n. from various deep-sea regions, and ontogenetic development has been traced for the first time. Apomorphies are a strong spinule-like pinna on the mx seta that is fused to the basis, P2-P4 exp3 proximal outer...

Infrastructure-less (sometimes known as ad-hoc) networking paradigm is very appealing and potentially shaping its future into almost all emerging networks (i.e., IoT, wireless sensor networks, vehicular ad-hoc emergency, tactical radio etc.). However, when conventional protocols are used, such often perform poorly, mainly because of interference within the network limited throughput. Recent adv...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Annual attendances at the accident and emergency (A&E) department of St Bartholomew's and The Royal London NHS Trust exceed 100,000 people of which 6% are ophthalmic. This study evaluated the accuracy of eye referrals from A&E senior house officers (SHOs) and emergency nurse practitioners (ENPs) and the impact any inaccuracies may have had on out of hours work. METHO...

The effects from multigenerational exposures to engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in their pristine and transformed states are currently unknown despite such exposures being an increasingly common scenario in natural environments. Here, we examine how exposure over 10 generations affects the sensitivity of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to pristine and sulfidized Ag ENPs and AgNO3 We also in...

The increasing industrial application of metal oxide Engineered Nano-Particles (ENPs) is likely to increase their environmental release to soils. While the potential of metal oxide ENPs as environmental toxicants has been shown, lack of suitable control treatments have compromised the power of many previous assessments. We evaluated the ecotoxicity of ENP (nano) forms of Zn and Cu oxides in two...
