We introduce a method by which to locate sensors in a 2.4 GHz wireless network. We tested our system in a rough welding hall, where plasma cutters and welding machines commonly cause radio interference. Indoor positioning is a challenge because standardized GPStype global-positioning technologies are not available. There is therefore a need for extra infrastructure, such as wireless sensors, bu...

LBM415 (NVP PDF-713) is the first member of the peptide deformylase (PDF) inhibitor class being developed for clinical trials as a parenteral and oral agent for treatment of community-acquired respiratory tract disease and serious infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant gram-positive cocci. In this study susceptibility testing results from 1,306 recent clinical isolates selected to over-re...

One of the most remarkable properties of the continuous curvelet and shearlet transforms is their sensitivity to the directional regularity of functions and distributions. As a consequence of this property, these transforms can be used to characterize the geometry of edge singularities of functions and distributions by their asymptotic decay at fine scales. This ability is a major extension of ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Most patients with acute viral hepatitis A have a favorable course, but a few of them suffer from severe forms of hepatitis such as fulminant hepatitis. This study was carried out to identify the factors influencing the severity of acute viral hepatitis A. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 713 patients with acute hepatitis A, who were divided into two ...

The suggestion that smooth muscle cell proliferation contributes to hypertension, atherosclerosis, and restenosis after angioplasty has led to a growing interest in the use of drugs to inhibit this process. This review summarizes pharmacological studies of smooth muscle cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo and identifies specific mediators of proliferation that are implicated by drugs bindin...

(Fam Med 2006;38(4):238-9.) Editor’s Note: In this month’s column, Hershey Bell, MD, and Stanley Kozakowski, MD, remind officebased teachers of their important role in assessing how well learners achieve different competencies. They also recommend a “gap analysis” approach for helping learners self-assess their level of competency and plan how they will improve. Dr Bell is with the Lake Erie Co...
