More than half of small businesses are operated in or from a home, yet they are the missing majority. Home-based businesses (HBBs) are increasingly important in our society as a result of adoption of ICT and other discernable trends but they have been largely ignored in research. This paper compares receipts, expenses and net income of home-based (HBB) with non-home-based (non-HBB) professional...

In this paper we describe a new lossless image compression algorithm called HBB. HBB has been designed to see how much further we can push the current one-pass DPCM approach to lossless image coding. Its features include a novel scan ordering and a complex adaptive history-based mechanism which blends sub-predictors for prediction. Its performance is not sensitive to the values of its parameter...

β-thalassemia major can be caused by homozygosity or compound heterozygosity for β-globin gene mutations (HBB gene). Most cases are inherited from parents who both have diseased alleles of the HBB gene. We report a patient with late-onset β-thalassemia major that evolved from β-thalassemia minor in which only one of her parents had the diseased HBB gene. To study the cause of β-thalassemia majo...

Mixed infection of monkey kidney cells with two mutants of the LSc2ab strain of poliovirus, one resistant to guanidine and the other resistant to both dextran sulfate and 2-(alpha-hydroxybenzyl)-benzimidazole (HBB), yielded progeny in which the number of gua(r)dex(r) particles exceeded by a factor of 7 to 10 the expected number of similar particles occurring through spontaneous mutation; recomb...

RP-HPLC chromatographic method was developed for determination of Hyoscine Butyl Bromide (HBB) and Dipyrone ( DIP). In this method, HBB and DIP were separated by using C18 (25 cm×4.6 mm i.d. 5μm particle size) column as a stationary phase and using water: methanol (50:50) v/v pH adjusted to 7.0 with triflouroacetic acid and triethylamine) as a mobile phase, maintaining the flow rate at 1.0 mL m...

The aim of this study was to complete research on the porphyrogenic effect of hexabrombenzene (HBB) and tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBP-A). Experiments were performed on female Wistar rats. The examined compounds were administered in sunflower oil intragastrically in 3 doses. The determination of porphyrins in tissues was carried out by means of high-performance liquid chromatography. Repeated HBB ...

Arabinoxylans were prepared from different hull-less barley milling fractions (bran, shorts and flour). The yields of hull-less bran arabinoxylan (HBB-AX), shorts arabinoxylan (HBS-AX) and flour arabinoxylan (HBF-AX) were 8.42%, 4.08% and 2.13% respectively. Sugar composition analysis showed that arabinose and xylose were the main sugars. HBF-AX had the highest Ara/Xyl ratio, followed by HBS-AX...

OBJECTIVES This first-ever country-level study assesses the implementation of the Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) program in 15 of Tanzania's mainland regions by measuring coverage, adoption and retention of provider skills, acceptability among providers, and barriers and challenges to at-scale implementation. METHODS Longitudinal facility-level follow-up visits assessed provider resuscitation k...

Cloud computing is a system that allows data to be saved in the cloud on virtual worker. Outsiders and machines worker supplier played critical part efficiently storing accessing information. Security, access control, load balancing are challenges engineering. In past, various solutions for adjusting have been proposed. Operator-based burden adjustment calculation surpassed all other offered CP...

PURPOSE To evaluate hyoscine N-butyl bromide (HBB) and three different alpha-1 blockers in the treatment of distal ureteral stones. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 140 patients with stones located in the distal tract of the ureter with stone diameters of 5 to 10mm were enrolled in the present study and were randomized into 4 equal groups. Group 1 received HBB, Group 2 received alfuzosin, Gro...
