BACKGROUND Effective interdisciplinary communication is important to achieve better quality in health care. The aims of this study were to compare conventional and complementary providers' experience of communication about complementary therapies and conventional medicine with their cancer patients, and to investigate how they experience interdisciplinary communication and cooperation. METHOD...

The unique complementary switching behaviour of complementary resistive switches (CRSs) makes them very attractive for logic applications. The implementation of complete Boolean logic functions in a single CRS cell is certainly an extremely important step towards the commercialisation of related logic circuits, but it has not been accomplished to date. Here, we report two methods for the implem...

OBJECTIVE To understand the status and problems of complementary feeding and to explore the strategy of improving complementary feeding for infants and young children in China. METHOD Data of urban and rural children were selected from the China Food and Nutrition Surveillance System (CFNSS) dataset to describe the status of complementary feeding and growth of children. Logistic Regression wa...

Recent studies have shown TOF-SIMS to be an appropriate method for the detailed examination of the immobilization process of PNA and its ability to hybridize to unlabeled complementary DNA fragments. Unlabeled single-stranded DNA was hybridized to Si wafer biosensor chips containing both complementary and non-complementary immobilized PNA sequences. The hybridization of complementary DNA could ...

A complete complementary code composed of 4phase perfect (orthogonal) sequences is shown. The sequences compose a matrix whose cube is a unit matrix. A method is also discussed, which has been proposed by Suehiro, et.al. for increasing the efficiency of the wireless frequency usage. The method uses a pilot signal for measuring the multipath property as a complex number for each timeslot. The da...

The American Academy of Pediatrics is dedicated to optimizing the well-being of children and advancing family-centered health care. Related to these goals, the American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes the increasing use of complementary and alternative medicine in children and, as a result, the need to provide information and support for pediatricians. From 2000 to 2002, the American Academy o...

This article is a short explanation of some of the results obtained in my papers “On refined enumerations of totally symmetric self-complementary plane partitions I, II”. We give Pfaffian expressions for some of the conjectures in the paper “Self-complementary totally symmetric plane partitions” (J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 42, 277–292) by Mills, Robbins and Rumsey, using the lattice path method.
