Heart failure is associated with high morbidity and mortality and is proving to be an economic burden in developing countries. A number of therapeutic agents are presently employed in heart failure; but they are not sufficient to control symptoms of heart failure. Moreover, the prevalence of chronic heart failure is progressively increasing and thus there is a continuing need to develop effecti...

knowing and applying the basic management functions of planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling, as well as their permutations and combinations, are vital to effective delivery of public health services. presently, graduate programs that prepare public health professionals neither emphasize teaching management theory, nor its application. this deficit puts those who become man...

the synthesis of twenty five esters of testosterone (17β -hydroxyandrost- 4-en-3-one) is described. all esters are derivatives of cycloalkycarboxylic acids. some of the esters possess α- , β -and/or & - substitution in the ester side-chain. the work was undertaken in order to evaluate long-acting male antifertility effect of such esters. most of the compounds, especially compound no.1, were fou...

A neotype is designated for Clytostoma sciuripabulum the basionym of Bignonia sciuripabulum, the presently accepted name of the species.

Certain nonlinear binary codes contain more codewords than any comparable linear code presently known. These include the Kerdock and Preparata codes, which exist for all lengths 4m ≥ 16. At length 16 they coincide to give the Nordstrom-Robinson code. This paper constructs a nonlinear (64, 237, 12) code as the binary image, under the Gray map, of an extended cyclic code defined over the integers...

Presently available techniques for synchronizing by selective detachment of mitotic cells from mammalian cells allow the preparation and anal-monolayers

The proapoptotic cytokine tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is being evaluated presently as a selective anticancer agent, but its limited effects against cancer cell lines has raised some concerns about its ultimate clinical utility. Here, we review recent findings that cancer cell sensitivity to TRAIL is greatly increased when the Bcl-2 family protein Mcl-1 is dow...

The eXtensible Tutor Architecture (XTA) was designed as a platform for creating and deploying many types of Intelligent Tutoring Systems across many different platforms. The XTA presently has support for state graph pseudotutors and JESS model-tracing cognitive tutors, in both a client and server context. Supported interfaces are presently Java Swing / WebStart and HTML. The XTA was designed wi...

The wind/wave climatology for the Arctic Seas will be developed based on altimeter observations. It will have a major scientific and applied significance as presently there is no reference climatology for this region of the ocean available. The new versions of wave models for the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas will include new physics that is already under development, and the novel physics presentl...

Electrochemical sensors for multiple analytes were the first scitifically proposed as well as commersialised biosensors. Electrochemical biosensors have been studied for a long time. Presently, typical platform of transducers based on semiconductors and screen printed electrodes is in practice for construction of biosensors. Among all biocomponents enzymes or enzyme labeled antibodies are prese...
