BACKGROUND Prompt-L-Pop is a sixth generation bonding system contains methacrylated phosphoric acid esters that combine an acidic component for etching the enamel and a primer, is an all-in-one adhesive. This study was undertaken to compare the bonding strength of brackets to enamel with traditional bonding technique and the new Prompt-L-Pop system using the same composite resin. MATERIALS AN...

Listeria monocytogenes meningitis appears to have increased in incidence. Although most reported cases of listeriosis involve the central nervous system, brain computed tomography is usually normal. Hydrocephalus is a common complication of tuberculous meningitis, which has a high prevalence in Taiwan. However, patients with L. monocytogenes meningitis rarely develop the complication of symptom...

Recently, researchers have begun exploring methods of scoring student essays with respect to particular dimensions of quality such as coherence, technical errors, and prompt adherence. The work on modeling prompt adherence, however, has been focused mainly on whether individual sentences adhere to the prompt. We present a new annotated corpus of essaylevel prompt adherence scores and propose a ...

Febrile neutropenia is a relatively frequent event in cancer patients treated with chemotherapy. In the United States, an estimated 60,000 patients a year are hospitalized for febrile neutropenia and neutropenia related infections (Cagganio et al., 2005). Our single institution data in previous two studies have shown the frequency to be ranging from 10 to 12 per month (Lal et al., 2008; Shaikh ...

Leptogenesis is studied within the seesaw neutrino mass model in a regime where all sterile neutrinos have prompt rather than delayed decays. It is shown that during neutrino thermal production lepton asymmetries are generated in both active lepton and sterile neutrino sectors. The large B −L asymmetry is slowly pumped into the chemically decoupled right-handed quarks and leptons and baryon num...

We investigate the potential of 100 TeV future circular collider (FCC-hh) to probe heavy neutrinos. concentrate in particular on neutrino production via a $U(1{)}_{B\ensuremath{-}L}$ ${Z}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ gauge boson and contrast resulting limits with that mediated by Standard Model weak currents. consider decays semileptonic as well fully leptonic final states, particularly muon flavor, we sh...

myocardial free wall rupture is a catastrophic complication of acute myocardial infarction, and prognosis will depend on the prompt diagnosis by echocardiography, extension of infarct size, and prompt surgical treatment. free wall rupture concomitant with ventricular septal defect (vsd) may be more complicated for management. a case of a 69-year-old man with myocardial free wall rupture and vsd...

Studies that have compared the effectiveness of differing prompt types to teach intraverbal responses have yielded mixed results, suggesting that individuals' reinforcement histories with prompt types may influence which prompt will be most effective. The purpose of this study was to test whether programmed increases in exposure to specific prompt types would produce concomitant increases in th...
