BACKGROUND The 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza vaccine had lower uptake compared to seasonal influenza vaccine, and most studies examining uptake of H1N1 vaccine focused on hospital-based healthcare personnel (HCP). Determinants of H1N1 vaccine uptake among HCP in all work settings need to be identified so that interventions can be developed for use in encouraging uptake of future pandemic or emer...

Host cell proteins (HCPs) must be adequately removed from recombinant therapeutics by downstream processing to ensure patient safety, product quality, and regulatory compliance. HCP process clearance is typically monitored by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using a polyclonal reagent. Recently, mass spectrometry (MS) has been used to identify specific HCP process impurities and monito...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of mandatory and nonmandatory influenza vaccination policies on vaccination rates and symptomatic absenteeism among healthcare personnel (HCP). DESIGN Retrospective observational cohort study. SETTING This study took place at 3 university medical centers with mandatory influenza vaccination policies and 4 Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare systems with nonmandato...

We present details of the global distribution of high-Ca pyroxene (HCP)-rich sites in the lunar highlands based on the global data set of hyperspectral reflectance obtained by the SELENE Spectral Profiler. Most HCP-rich sites in the lunar highlands are found at fresh impact craters. In each crater, most of the detection points are distributed on the ejecta, rim, and floor of the impact craters ...

Recently, we reported that the type 6 secretion system (T6SS) of Aeromonas hydrophila SSU plays an important role in bacterial virulence in a mouse model, and immunization of animals with the T6SS effector haemolysin co-regulated protein (Hcp) protected them against lethal infections with wild-type bacteria. Additionally, we showed that the mutant bacteria deleted for the vasH gene within the T...

Abstract An energy-efficient high-powermulti-coil wireless power transfer system (WPT) has been studied in this paper. The proposed was first analyzed and examined using theoretical modeling; followed by finite element analysis circuit simulation to confirm the goal. As air gap between transmitter receiver coils widens, coupling coefficient of a WPT will drop. A large-air-gap system’s can be ra...

1 Abstract— Nowadays, power systems are characterized with heavy loading conditions, abrupt changes in generation patterns, extensive switching of power system configuration and high penetration of distributed generation (DG). Under those conditions performance of the conventional relays that rely on predefined settings may deteriorate leading to system wide disturbances and blackouts. To ensur...

Lipscomb listed several formats of educational hearing conservation program (HCP) in his book and had compared their advantages and disadvantages (Lipscomb 1994). These formats included lecture series, movies, videos, and slide presentations, programmed learning booklets, computer assisted instruction (CAI), distribution of printed materials, individual conferences. Research indicates that all ...

-brain levels of HCP varied between 0-442 and 1-204 nmol[g (0-18 and 0 49 ig/g).4 So myelinopathy in case 2 was probably attributable to HCP, despite the absence of clinical signs of toxicity. The trace level in case 1 suggests that myelinopathy was unrelated to HCP, for other causes of infantile spongioform myelinopathy are known, though none has been identified in small premature infants. Nev...
