Suppose that a random variable X of interest is grouped or censored or missing so that one only observes a coarsening of X, i.e., a random set containing X with probability 1. It is assumed that the coarsening mechanism has the coarsening at random property. Suppose furthermore that the coarsening either equals X itself or that is a set with positive X-probability. We modify the NPMLE of the di...

here, a new method called aboodh transform homotopy perturbation method(athpm) is used to solve nonlinear partial dierential equations, we presenta reliable combination of homotopy perturbation method and aboodh transformto investigate some nonlinear partial dierential equations. the nonlinearterms can be handled by the use of homotopy perturbation method. the resultsshow the eciency of this...

in this work, we present a numerical method for solving nonlinear fredholmand volterra integral equations of the second kind which is based on the useof block pulse functions(bpfs) and collocation method. numerical examplesshow eciency of the method.

iamine is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a pivotal role in carbohydrate metabolism. In acute defi ciency, pyruvate accumulates and is metabolized to lactate, and chronic defi ciency may cause polyneuropathy and Wernicke encephalopathy. Classic symptoms include mental status change, ophthalmoplegia, and ataxia but are present in only a few patients [1]. Critically ill patients are prone to t...

PLoS Biology | http://biology.plosjournals.org Of the 300 or so viruses that cause disease in humans, HIV may have the greatest adaptive advantage. Like most persistent viruses—including the herpesviruses Epstein–Barr and cytomegalovirus (CMV)—HIV employs various strategies to counteract its host’s response to infection. But HIV possesses a unique ability to sustain a progressive attack on the ...

susceptibilities of Leishmania donovani promastigote and amastigote stages to antileishmanial reference drugs: practical relevance of stage-specifi c differences. Functional cloning of the miltefosine transporter. A novel P-type phospholipid translocase from Leishma-nia involved in drug resistance. of the miltefosine transporter, LdMT, causes miltefosine resistance that is conferred to the amas...

A population-based study of human immunodefi ciency virus in south India reveals major diff erences from sentinel surveillance-based estimates. Study Group. Declining HIV infection rates among recently married primigravid women in Pune, India. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are a group of brominated compounds (209 congeners) that are typically used as fl ame retardants in the manufactur...

Collapsing glomerulopathy with patchy acute cortical necrosis secondary to postpartum hemorrhage Sir, Collapsing glomerulopathy (CG) represents a distinct pattern of renal response to injury characterized by segmental to global collapse of capillaries in association with hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the visceral epithelial cells (VECs) associated with marked tubulointerstitial damage [1]. The...

detection of chikungunya virus using a RT-PCR/nested PCR combination .opment of a TaqMan RT-PCR assay without RNA extraction step for the detection and quantifi cation of African chikungunya viruses. To the Editor: Respiratory viral infections can be associated with a wide range of clinical manifestations from self-limiting upper respiratory tract diseases to pneumonia (1). However, in general,...

We investigate the use of information in repeated principal-agent game and report three results. First, consistent with Kandori (1992), garbling signals within each period hurts the e¢ ciency of the game. Second, contrary to Abreu, Milgrom, and Pearce (1991), bundling signals across periods and then fully revealing them never increases the e¢ ciency of the game. Third, and most importantly, we ...
