Rhesus D category VI (DVI) is the clinically most important partial D. DVI red blood cells were assumed to possess very low RhD antigen density and to be caused by two RHD-CE-D hybrid alleles. Because there was no population-based work-up, we screened three populations in central Europe for DVI. Twenty-six DVI samples were detected and examined by exon-specific RHD polymerase chain reaction wit...

Disaster victim identification (DVI) is an intensive and demanding task involving specialists from various disciplines. The forensic dentist is one of the key persons who plays an important role in the DVI human identification process. In recent years, many disaster incidents have occurred that challenged the DVI team with various kinds of difficulties related to disaster management and unique ...

DVIPDFM(x) manages various PDF effects by means of DVI specials. Appropriate documentation of DVI specials, however, is not easy to find, and exact functionality is not simple to catch without reading the source code of DVI drivers. This paper deals with the DVI specials defined in DVIPDFM(x) that are mainly used for PDF generation. We discuss the features of those specials with some examples, ...

The aim of this study was to compare direct visual inspection (DVI) with Pap smear in diagnosis of precancerous lesion of cervix. A total of 1500 women were screened cytologically as well as clinically with direct visual inspection of cervix after application of acetic acid (DVI). A total of 1500 women were screened cytologically as well as clinically with direct visual inspection of cervix aft...

Dengue virus infection (DVI) is endemic in tropical countries in both children and adults. The classical presentation includes fever, hepatomegaly, thrombocytopenia-related bleeding disorders, and plasma leakage. Multi-organ involvement, including kidneys is found in complex cases. Asymptomatic electrolyte disturbances, abnormal urinalysis, and more severe manifestation such as acute kidney inj...

This paper is devoted to the first step of developing a new DVI editing utility, called DVIasm. Editing DVI files consists of three parts: disassembling, editing, and assembling. DVIasm disassembles a DVI file to a human-readable text format (more flexible than DTL), and assembles the output back to a DVI file. DVIasm is useful for people who have a DVI file without TEX source, but need to modi...

The support vector machine (SVM) is a widely used method for classification. Although many efforts have been devoted to develop efficient solvers, it remains challenging to apply SVM to large-scale problems. A nice property of SVM is that the non-support vectors have no effect on the resulting classifier. Motivated by this observation, we present fast and efficient screening rules to discard no...
