background maternal health remains a central policy concern in vietnam. with a commitment to achieving the millennium development goal (mdg) 5 target of maternal mortality rate (mmr) of 70/100 000 by 2015, the ministry of health (moh) issued the national plan for safe motherhood (npsm) 2003-2010. in 2008, reproductive health, including safe motherhood (sm) became a national health target progra...

We present an improvement of global Metropolis updating steps, the instanton hits, used in a hybrid Monte Carlo simulation of the two-flavor Schwinger model with staggered fermions. These hits are designed to change the topological sector of the gauge field. In order to match these hits to an unquenched simulation with pseudofermions, the approximate zero mode structure of the lattice Dirac ope...

We study the contributions of the CP violating anomalous WWγ interactions to b → sll. We obtain cutoff independent results on κ̃ and λ̃, by constructing an asymmetry for the process B → Kll, where the B and B̄ events are added. We show that a sample of 10 B → Kee events can yield a bound, |κ̃| < 0.42 at 90% C.L., which is much tighter than the recent constraint from D0. PACS number: 12.60Cn, 13.20....

lung exposure to sulfur mustard (sm) results in pulmonary complications, which is the main cause of long-term disability and morbidity. up to now, the precise mechanisms of sm-induced lung complications has not been identified. the aim of this study was to evaluate apoptosis in the lung tissue of sm-exposed individuals. the study was performed on archived lung paraffin-embedded tissue specimens...

The tropical cyclones (TCs) trajectories are mainly controlled by the large-scale parameters related with steering flow. We used HURDAT2 database from 1980 to 2018 for grouping tracks of TCs formed in North Atlantic (NATL) main development region into straight moving (SM), recurving landfall (RCL) and ocean (RCO). Based on this classification, we investigated changes moisture sources' contribut...

  Introduction: Nowadays various bone pain palliative therapeutic agents have been developed for bone metastases. Among those, 153Sm-ethylenediamine tetramethylene phosphonic acid (153Sm-EDTMP) is the major therapeutic agent which is widely used in the world. In this study, production, quality control and biodistribution studies of this therapeut...

In this paper, we extend the set-membership (SM) adaptive filtering approach to the various affine projection (AP) adaptive filter algorithms to propose the computationally efficient algorithms. Based on this, the SM-APA, SM selective regressor APA (SM-SR-APA), SM dynamic selection APA (SM-DS-APA) and SM selective partial update APA (SM-SPU-APA) are established. The SM-SR-APA reduces complexity...

We report a novel modification of spliceosome proteins Sm D1, Sm D3, and Sm B/B 0. L292 mouse fibroblasts were labeled in vivo with [H]methionine. Sm D1, Sm D3, and Sm B/B 0 were purified from either nuclear extracts, cytosolic extracts or a cytosolic 6S complex by immunoprecipitation of the Sm protein-containing complexes and then separation by electrophoresis on a polyacrylamide gel containin...

By running the prospective high-energy ee collider TESLA in the GigaZ mode on the Z resonance, experiments can be performed on the basis of more than 10 Z events. This will allow the measurement of the effective electroweak mixing angle to an accuracy of δ sin θeff ≈ ±1×10. The W boson mass is likewise expected to be measurable with an error of δMW ≈ ±6 MeV near the WW threshold. We review the ...
