BACKGROUND Child delivery in a health facility is important to reduce maternal mortality. Bypassing nearby birthing facility to deliver at a hospital is common in developing countries including Nepal. Very little is known about the extent and determinants of bypassing the birthing centres in Nepal. This study measures the status of bypassing, characteristics of bypassers and their reasons for b...

We present an extension of access-based localization technique to mitigate a substantial inefficiency in handling procedure calls. Recently, access-based localization was proposed as an effective way of tightly localizing abstract memories. However, it has a limitation in handling procedure calls: the localized input memory for a procedure contains not only memory locations accessed by the proc...

The purpose of the switch feature is to prevent distortion of high signal levels in receiver applications by bypassing the amplifier altogether. The bypass switch can be thought of as a 1-bit digital AGC circuit that not only prevents distortion by bypassing the MGA-72543 amplifier, but also Figure 1. MGA-72543 Functional diagram. reduces front-end system gain by approximately 16 dB to avoid ov...

Abs t rac t . A novel anaphase block phenotype was found in fission yeast temperature-sensitive cut9 mutants. Cells enter mitosis with chromosome condensation and short spindle formation, then block anaphase, but continue to progress into postanaphase events such as degradation of the spindle, reformation of the postanaphase cytoplasmic microtubule arrays, septation, and cytokinesis. The cut9 m...
