Harrow et al. (1986) report the limitations of the process-reactive dimension as a long-term outcome predictor for young, early phase DSM-III schizophrenics. Two additional studies are now described contrasting the good success of the process-reactive approach as a short-term predictor with DSM-II schizophrenia to its poor success in the same mode with DSM-III schizophrenics. The point is made ...

The Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd (HHL) quantum algorithm for sampling from the solution of a linear system provides an exponential speed-up over its classical counterpart. The problem of solving a system of linear equations has a wide scope of applications, and thus HHL constitutes an important algorithmic primitive. In these notes, we present the HHL algorithm and its improved versions in detail, inc...

disk diffusion test is the usual applicable method for assessing the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern in most institutions and hospitals. the aim of this study was to determine the reliability of resistant-reported results of disk diffusion test for 6 routinely used antibiotics against gram-positive microorganisms of nosocomial origin, using e-test method.    over a 1-year period, clinical ...

abstract         background and objective: one of the main tasks of clinical microbiology laboratories is to determine antibiotic resistance profiles in common pathogens and ensure the selection of effective antibiotics for certain infections. the aim of this study was to compare the methods of disk diffusion, broth microdilution and modified hodge test in escherichia coli isolates from urinary...

introduction: elevated intracranial pressure (icp) is a major and potentially lethal disorder in patients admitted to the emergency department (ed). several methods are being used to investigate for elevated icp. here we assessed and compared the diagnostic accuracy of two existing tools of ophthalmoscopy and optic nerve ultrasonography in detection of elevated icp. methods: 131 participants wi...

Abstract With a higher HP tractor it is difficult to take the maximum use of power. Front three-point linkage has been found profitable with these tractors due power requirement and also multiple operations in single pass. The importance this study check its feasibility under Indian field conditions. are designed fabricated according Category II hitch requirements. Hydraulic cylinders provide h...

We present numerical simulations of misaligned discs around a spinning black hole covering range parameters. Previous have shown that are strongly warped by forced precession -- in this case the Lense-Thirring effect from can break apart into discrete or rings behave quasi-independently for short timescales. With we here, confirm thin and highly inclined more susceptible to disc tearing than th...
