Introduction: Since the hypertension disease is asymptomatic, Compliance and adherence is one of the essential problems. With a positive view to training either through health personnel and peer group in various aspects of life this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of training by peers with health personnel on blood pressure and adherence to treatment in hypertensive patient was done. ...

The need for persistent video covering large geospatial areas using embedded camera networks and stand-off sensors has increased over the past decade. The availability of inexpensive, compact, light-weight, energy-efficient, high resolution optical sensors and associated digital image processing hardware has led to a new class of airborne surveillance platforms. Traditional tradeoffs posed betw...

Genomic instability is a classic hallmark of cancer and genetic disorders. The Agilent Oligonucleotide array-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) platform lets you profile DNA copy number variations on a highthroughput and genome-wide scale. We have developed a rapid, low-input whole genome amplification (WGA) method for aCGH analysis that pairs the Sigma GenomePlex WGA Kit with Agile...

In this paper we consider estimation of the derivative of a density based on wavelets methods using randomly right censored data. We extend the results regarding the asymptotic convergence rates due to Prakasa Rao (1996) and Chaubey et al. (2008) under random censorship model. Our treatment is facilitated by results of Stute (1995) and Li (2003) that enable us in demonstrating that the same con...

When using the K-nearest neighbours (KNN) method, one often ignores the uncertainty in the choice of K. To account for such uncertainty, Bayesian KNN (BKNN) has been proposed and studied (Holmes and Adams 2002 Cucala et al. 2009). We present some evidence to show that the pseudo-likelihood approach for BKNN, even after being corrected by Cucala et al. (2009), still significantly underest...

Chong et al., Nishio et al., and Suri et al. (Reports, 24 March 2006, pp. 1774, 1775, and 1778) confirmed that treating nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice with an immune adjuvant and semisyngenic spleen cells can reverse the disease but found that spleen cells did not contribute to the observed recovery of pancreatic islets. We show that islet regeneration predominately originates from endogenous cel...
