We discuss issues of structural and practical identifiability partially observed differential equations, which are often applied in systems biology. The development mathematical methods to investigate nonidentifiability has a long tradition. Computationally efficient detect cure it have been developed recently. Practical nonidentifiability, on the other hand, not investigated at same conceptual...

Photopolymerization has become the standard for many coating and printing applications that require rapid curing at room temperature due to its potential to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions while providing a means for efficient manufacturing processes. These advantages could be useful in a variety of emerging applications, such as anisotropic conductive films (ACF) if photopolym...

Tuberculosis remains a public health problem in Brazil. In 2003, controlling tuberculosis was highlighted as a priority among health public policies. The article reports the Brazilian response to this challenge, describing the main strategies of the National Control Plan for 2003 to 2006. Among its main results are: expansion of strategic coverage of the supervised treatment, increase in the pe...

PURPOSE Transobturator approaches to midurethral sling surgery are one of the most commonly performed operations for female stress urinary incontinence throughout the world. However, very few results of randomized clinical trials of transobturator midurethral sling surgery (MONARC vs. TVT-O) for the treatment of female urinary incontinence have been reported. In this study, we compared the 3-ye...

In this article, the application of 10 new amino-m-terphenyls in 3D-VAT printing was described. New compounds have specially designed D-π-A structure, where central phenyl ring with nitrile and amino groups is acceptor modifiable group donor. Such design eliminates problem acid scavenging guaranteed desire properties photoactivity as well it allows further development such system for printing. ...

The 2 Spanish groups, Grupo Español de MM (GEM) and Programa para el Estudio de la Terapéutica en Hemopatía Maligna (PETHEMA), report on the superiority of both event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients in whom complete response (CR) status was achieved, compared with lesser response categories (near-CR [nCR], very good partial response [VGPR], partial response [PR]), in a...

PRESENTATION OF THE CASE A 61-year-old man undergoes a sigmoid colectomy for a T3N1 (two of 18 nodes) adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon. He recovers well and receives 6 months of adjuvant FOLFOX (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin) uneventfully. At his first follow-up visit, the oncologist recommended every 3 month visits for a physical, liver function tests, and carcinoembryonic ant...

Corporations, consumers, the uninsured and doctors had all been clamoring for reform, and the question of why the project failed has nagged at Cutler ever since, especially as the problems have continued to worsen. In the years since he left Washington, which was in 1994, the ranks of the uninsured have surged, from 35 million people to 45 million. There are also serious gaps in the quality of ...
