BACKGROUND Lifelong HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART) has prompted an interest in two-drug regimens to minimise cumulative drug exposure and toxicities. The safety, tolerability, and efficacy of dolutegravir and rilpivirine suggest potential compatibility and effectiveness as a two-drug regimen. We aimed to investigate this two-drug regimen in a phase 3 study. METHODS We identically designed S...

Abstract This study investigates ‘repetition’ in the English translation of the Arabic Novel, Adrift on the Nile (1993). It aims to explore the communicative functions of ‘repetition’ and to see if these functions have been maintained or lost in the process of translating the Novel. In addition, it seeks to find the translation strategies used in rendering ‘repetition’. To achieve this aim, a d...

A ternary relation |̂ between subsets of the big model of a complete first-order theory T is called an independence relation if it satisfies a certain set of axioms. The primary example is forking in a simple theory, but o-minimal theories are also known to have an interesting independence relation. Our approach in this paper is to treat independence relations as mathematical objects worth study...

it is highly desirable to employ biopreservatives of the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties to avoid the side effects associated with the use of synthetic preservatives. cake batters containing essential oil extracts of some such iranian native herbs as: lemon balm (melissa officinalis), camel thorn (alhagi maurorum) and ajwain (trachyspermum copticum), were prepared. the chemical composi...

let g be a simple connected graph and {v1, v2, …, vk} be the set of pendent (vertices ofdegree one) vertices of g. the reduced distance matrix of g is a square matrix whose (i,j)–entry is the topological distance between vi and vj of g. in this paper, we obtain the spectrumof the reduced distance matrix of thorn graph of g, a graph which obtained by attaching somenew vertices to pendent vertice...

Compared to words that are new to a discourse, repeated words are produced with reduced acoustic prominence. Although these effects are often attributed to priming in the production system, the locus of the effect within the production system remains unresolved because, in natural speech, repetition often involves repetition of referents and lexical items simultaneously. Therefore, repetition r...

Background. Controlling and manipulating inter-repetition rest (IRR) could develop diverse levels of fatigue and manifest changes to lifting mechanics. Objectives. This studychr('39')s objective was to examine the effect of IRR on the kinematic of snatch lifting during multiple set exercise protocol. Methods. Fifteen male (n=15) athletes participated in this study (age = 21.0 ± 1.41 years; bo...

We demonstrate a Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:sapphire oscillator that generates 130-nJ, 26-fs and 220-nJ, 30-fs pulses at a repetition rate of 11 MHz. The generation of stable broadband, high-energy pulses from an extended-cavity oscillator is achieved by the use of chirped multilayer mirrors to produce a small net positive dispersion over a broad spectral range. The resultant chirped picosecond p...

this paper presents a case-report of cutaneous actinomycosis due to actinomyces viscosus in a 22 year old man, hospital staff from tehran with multiple fistulous tracts in his right hand and a history of skin injury due to thorn of plant. diagnosis was based on the observation of gram positive coccoid, diphtheroid and long branching filaments in direct examination of pus from fistulous tracts a...
