Volume 95 (2009) of the Journal of Parasitology represented a significant benchmark in the history of paleoparasitology when it received on the cover formal recognition as a topical area for publication. This retrospective examination chronicles the emergence of paleoparasitology, from its origins as an adjunct contribution to the study of prehistoric human populations to its modern expression ...

Dental Update – May 2000 165 Abstract: As both humans and fungi are eukaryotic organisms, antifungal agents affect their cellular metabolism. Thus, a relatively few antifungals with minimal toxicity and side-efects are available compared with a plethora of antibacterials. These agents currently prescribed in dentistry belong to two major groups, the polyenes (nystatin and amphotericin B) and th...

bioassays were conducted to assess the contact toxicity of two plant essential oils against adults of sitophilus granarius (l.) and tribolium confusum jacquelin du val. essential oils were extracted from seeds of carum copticum l. and cuminum cyminum l. contact toxicity was assessed by topical application and adult mortality was counted 1, 2, 6 and 24 h after exposure. bioassays were carried ou...

the topical delivery of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids) such as ibuprofen has been explored as a potential method of avoiding the first pass effects and the gastric irritation, which may occur when used orally. ibuprofen is formulated into many topical preparations to reduce the adverse effects and simultaneously avoid the hepatic first-pass metabolism as well. however, it is dif...

BACKGROUND Treatment of osteoarthritis with oral NSAID therapy provides pain relief but carries a substantial risk of adverse effects. Topical NSAID therapy offers an alternative to oral treatment, with the potential for a reduced risk of side effects. The objective of this trial was to assess the safety and efficacy of a topical diclofenac solution in relieving the symptoms of primary osteoart...

We present a new approach to the automated classification of document-level argument stance, a relatively underresearched sub-task of Sentiment Analysis. In place of the noisy online debate data currently used in stance classification research, a corpus of student essays annotated for essaylevel stance is constructed for use in a series of classification experiments. A novel set of features des...

As multichannel sound systems become more and more widespread, the issues to how to obtain optimal sound reproduction become more apparent. Although the matter of level calibration is rather trivial for stereo sound systems, it has been found that it does critically affect perceived sound quality. The more complex and often sub-optimal multichannel set-up introduces a whole new range of problem...
