BACKGROUND Alternative compounds which can complement pyrethroids on long-lasting insecticidal nets (LN) in the control of pyrethroid resistant malaria vectors are urgently needed. Pyriproxyfen (PPF), an insect growth regulator, reduces the fecundity and fertility of adult female mosquitoes. LNs containing a mixture of pyriproxyfen and pyrethroid could provide personal protection through the py...

Nous avons mis en tvidence les interactions qui s’ttablissent B longue distance, par des chants en duo, entre douze groupes familiaux de Gibbons (Hylobates lar), en Thai’lande. Les analyses statistiques montrent que les familles rtpondent plus volontiers par un duo B un chant en duo venant d’une famille voisine qu’k un chant en duo venant d’une famille non voisine. Les farnilles voisines se dis...

In this paper, we focus on the duo ring property via quasinilpotent elements, which gives a new kind of generalizations commutativity. We call rings qnil-duo. Firstly, some properties quasinilpotents in are provided. Then set is applied to rings, perspective, introduce and study right (resp., left) qnil-duo rings. show that concept not left-right symmetric. Among others, it proved if Hurwitz se...

Motivated by comparative genomics, Chen et al. [9] introduced the Maximum Duo-preservation String Mapping (MDSM) problem in which we are given two strings s1 and s2 from the same alphabet and the goal is to find a mapping π between them so as to maximize the number of duos preserved. A duo is any two consecutive characters in a string and it is preserved in the mapping if its two consecutive ch...

An astonishing one-third of the world’s population is infected with the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB), Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In most people it remains inactive or latent but in about 10% of people an active case of TB disease will develop within their lifetime. Simple antibiotics can prevent and treat most of these cases, yet 8-10 million people develop an active TB infection an...

The Test-Duo framework is proposed for automating the task of generating functional test cases for execution on an automatic testing platform. With Test-Duo, the tester focuses on the tasks of refining and annotating use cases and preparing test data sets with tool support, leaving the tasks of generating the actual test cases and marshaling their execution to Test-Duo. The generated test cases...

We compared the Mycoplasma Duo kit (Sanofi Diagnostics Pasteur) with PCR for detection of Ureaplasma spp. in endotracheal aspirates from 60 premature neonates. The overall agreement between the two tests was 96%. The Mycoplasma Duo assay is a useful alternative to culture and PCR for detection of neonatal Ureaplasma infection.
