Sir,?Since I perused the letter of Baboo Amrito Lall Deb, in your issue of November last, about the beneficial effect of "Amranthus Spinosa" (Kanta Nuteeya) root in Go n orrhoea, I had a strong desire to put it into my practice. As long as I was in charge of the charitable dispensary at .Teh anabad in Gya district I had seen many cases of gonorrhoea, but after a careful investigation I could pr...

In a world of dwindling fossil-based energy, global air pollution and warming, biocatalysis may be a perfect problem-solver. It has the potential to procure sustainable raw materials and energy from biomass, and enables chiral and highly functionalized compounds to be produced ecologically for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. At ZHAW Waedenswil on June 20, 2016, the Competence Center f...

In October last Dr. Swayne terminated his active work at the school, having occupied the post of Lecturer on Midwifery for fifty years, and the occasion seemed a fitting one for emphasising such a remarkably long and eminent service by some token of regard and esteem. A committee, consisting of Mr. J. Paul Bush, Dr. J. Michell Clarke, Dr. A. J. Harrison, Dr. E. Markham Skerritt, and Dr. R. Shin...

The purpose of this study was to reduce patient waiting times, improve system throughput and improve resources utilization in radiology department. A discrete event simulation model was developed using Arena simulation software to investigate different alternatives to improve the overall system delivery based on adding resource scenarios due to the linkage between patient waiting times and reso...

Although biometrics can be an useful component for access control, the security they procure is often overestimated, as if they were a magic tool whose simple use will automatically prevent each and every type of attack. Biometrics are not secure unless they are embedded in a strong cryptographic protocol, whose design pays special attention to their specificities. In particular, smart card rev...

The healthcare enterprise requires a great deal of knowledge to maintain premium efficiency in the delivery of quality healthcare.

Situational, problem-specific Scenarios are proposed as viable knowledge acquisition and representation construct...

International agencies work with host country governments to estimate contraceptive needs and to procure commodities at affordable public-sector prices. Depending on the agency and the registration status of the commodity in the given country, three subdermal contraceptive implants are options for purchase: Jadelle® is a two-rod levonorgestrel implant approved for 5 years of continuous use (Bay...

Dieulafoy lesion is rarely seen, yet it can be life-threatening. This lesion makes up to 1-2% of gastrointestinal bleedings and must definitely be considered in gastrointestinal bleedings whose source cannot be identified. In this case study, the 75-year-old woman was suffering from active, fresh, and massive rectal bleeding. Colonoscopy was applied in order to find out the source of bleeding. ...

The potentials of pilot-symbol-aided channel estimation in two dimensions are explored. In order to procure this goal, the discrete shift-variant 2-D Wiener lter is derived and analyzed given an arbitrary sampling grid, an arbitrary (but possibly optimized) selection of observations, and the possibility of model mismatch. Filtering in two dimensions is revealed to outperform ltering in just one...

El movimiento pedagógico ruralista en Uruguay (1930-1960) llevó adelante diversas experiencias de formación educación rural para estudiantes magisterio y docentes ejercicio, desatándose entre ellas el Centro Divulgación Prácticas Escolares, las Misiones Socio Pedagógicas Instituto Normal Rural.
