Introduction: Drug supply problems are a known problem for pharmacies. Community and hospital pharmacies do everything they can to minimize impact on patients. This study aims to quantify the time spent by Flemish community pharmacies on drug supply problems. Materials and Methods: During 18 weeks, employees of 25 community pharmacies filled in a template with the total time spent on drug suppl...

There is an aura about sessions such as this which suggests analogies to a fraternity initiation. Given that, one of the first questions the discussant must ask himself is where his discussion stands in relation to "Hell Week." All of us, I believe, would agree that "Hell Week" is the responsibility of the pledge trainer, or dissertation adviser in this case. If "Hell Week" is over, is the disc...

This week’s edition of Eurosurveillance is dedicated to European Immunization Week 2008, which will take place from 21 to 27 April. In 2005, the World Health Organization (WHO) organised the first European Immunization Week (http://www.euro.who.int/ vaccine/eiw/20050608_1) to increase vaccination coverage by raising awareness about the importance of immunisation, with a special focus on reachin...

National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) were developed out of a plethora of initiatives implemented between 1960 and 1990. The format of NVQs was initially based on a hierarchical task analysis of job functions within the hospitality and catering industry, conducted as part of the CATERBASE project, which was commissioned by the Manpower Services Commission in the mid-1980s. This issues paper...

in order to determine the diet of dalagh sheep, winter rangeland of gomishan plain was selected. after delineating of the grazingland territory, rangeland condition and plant combination was determined by range value method and range trend was obtained by trend balance method. time of bite-count record was done in morning and afternoon in a five-day period; first week of november (1389) and las...

ABSTRACT In this study, bifurcation and complex phenomena in synchronizing chaotic oscillators coupled by a lossless transmission line are investigated. The period-doubling bifurcation with varying the time delay is observed in our circuit model. Further the voltage distribution of transmission line is simulated in order to investigate whether the current flowing through the transmission line i...

These are lecture notes for the class Stochastic Calculus offered at the Courant Institute in the Fall Semester of 2012. It is a graduate level class. Students should have a solid background in probability and linear algebra. The topic selection is guided in part by the needs of our MS program in Mathematics in Finance. But it is not focused entirely on the Black Scholes theory of derivative pr...

This week we take the limit ∆t → 0. The limit is a process Xt that is defined for all t in some range, such as t ∈ [0, T ]. The process takes place in continuous time. This week, Xt is a continuous function of t. The process has continuous sample paths. It is natural to suppose that the limit of a Markov process is a continuous time Markov process. The limits we obtain this week will be either ...

the aim of the present study was to compare different periods of feed deprivation (day number of starvation in four physical feed restriction programs) on total immunuglobulins and lymphocytes percentage in pullets and cockerels of broiler breeder. a 4x2 factorial experiment based on a completely random design. 160 pullets and 160 cockerels of broiler breeder. feed intake content weekly was the...
