A disk Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curve is a Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curve whose control points are disks in a plane. It can be viewed as a parametric curve with error tolerances. In this paper, we discuss the problem of degree reduction of disk Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curve, that is, bounding disk Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curves with lower degree disk Wa...

disk diffusion test is the usual applicable method for assessing the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern in most institutions and hospitals. the aim of this study was to determine the reliability of resistant-reported results of disk diffusion test for 6 routinely used antibiotics against gram-positive microorganisms of nosocomial origin, using e-test method.    over a 1-year period, clinical ...

abstract         background and objective: one of the main tasks of clinical microbiology laboratories is to determine antibiotic resistance profiles in common pathogens and ensure the selection of effective antibiotics for certain infections. the aim of this study was to compare the methods of disk diffusion, broth microdilution and modified hodge test in escherichia coli isolates from urinary...

introduction: elevated intracranial pressure (icp) is a major and potentially lethal disorder in patients admitted to the emergency department (ed). several methods are being used to investigate for elevated icp. here we assessed and compared the diagnostic accuracy of two existing tools of ophthalmoscopy and optic nerve ultrasonography in detection of elevated icp. methods: 131 participants wi...

We present numerical simulations of misaligned discs around a spinning black hole covering range parameters. Previous have shown that are strongly warped by forced precession -- in this case the Lense-Thirring effect from can break apart into discrete or rings behave quasi-independently for short timescales. With we here, confirm thin and highly inclined more susceptible to disc tearing than th...

Abstract Observations show that individual protoplanetary disk lifetimes vary from <1 Myr to ≫20 Myr. The lifetime distribution is currently unknown. For the example of a Gaussian lifetime, I suggest simple method for deducing such distribution. median inferred with this also shown.
