background: to determine the mean and median delays in pulmonary tuberculosis (ptb) diagnosis among adults in one of the world’s highest gross domestic product per capita countries and identify patient and health system‑related reasons for these delays. methods: this is a cross‑sectional, face‑to‑face, prospective study of 100 subjects with confirmed ptb, conducted at main tuberculosis (tb) adm...

In this article we study networks of coupled dynamical systems with time-delayed connections. If two such networks hold different delays on the connections it is in general possible that they exhibit different dynamical behavior as well. We prove that for particular sets of delays this is not the case. To this aim we introduce a componentwise timeshift transformation (CTT) which allows to class...
