This paper aims to present life years at risk (LYAR), a new measure of population health needs for primary, secondary and tertiary prevention, which classifies health outcomes by care type and distinguishes between positive and negative outcomes. It is determined by the probability of ill-health event, population size and life years lost, based on expected incidence, prevalence and mortality. T...

The strong coupling between secondary and tertiary structure formation in protein folding is neglected in most structure prediction methods. In this work we investigate the extent to which nonlocal interactions in predicted tertiary structures can be used to improve secondary structure prediction. The architecture of a neural network for secondary structure prediction that utilizes multiple seq...

the solubility of co2 in the primary, secondary, tertiary and sterically hindered amine aqueous solutions at various conditions was studied. in the present work, the modified kent-eisenberg (m-ke), the extended debye-hückel (e-dh) and the pitzer models were employed to study the solubility of co2 in amine aqueous solutions. two explicit equations are presented to evaluate the concentration of h...

An efficient method is described for the mild and rapid tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols and phenols using a catalytic amount of N-chlorosaccharin (1 mol %) and 3, 4-dihydro-2H-pyran under solvent-free condition at room temperature. Benzylic alcohols and phenols containing electron withdrawing or donating groups in various positions of phenyl ring, cinamyl alcohol, primary, ...

In this study, the adsorption behavior of the primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols over nanoscale (1 0 0) surface of defect spinel γ-alumina was investigated with the aid of density functional theory (DFT) at BLYP/DNP level of calculation. The influence of different substituents including alkyl, cycloalkyl, allyl and aryl were analyzed for free and adsorbed alcohols to shed light the adsorp...

The acute intravenous toxicities of a selection of three potential long-acting local anaesthetics belonging to the series of2- phenoxyethyldialkylamine were determined in mice. Two of the compounds were tertiary amines and the third a quaternary ammonium derivative.The I.V. median lethal dose, (LDso) of one of the tertiary compounds, 21A [N, N- diethyl-2- (2,6- diisopropyl) ethyl amine hyd...

Assignment model is a powerful operations research techniques that can be used to solve assignment or allocation problem. This study applies the assignment model to the course allocation problem in Nigeria tertiary institution in order to maximize lecturers’ effectiveness. A well-structured questionnaire was used to obtain data from lecturers and solved with Hungarian method. The study revealed...

Peroxidase enzymes are vastly applicable in industry and diagnosiss. Recently, we introduced a new kind of peroxidase gene from Lepidium draba (LDP). According to protein multiple sequence alignment results, LDP had 93% similarity and 88.96% identity with horseradish peroxidase C1A (HRP C1A). In the current study we employed in silico tools to determine, to which group of peroxidase enzymes LDP...
