BackgroundThe in-utero transfer of malaria specific IgG to the fetus in Plasmodium falciparum infected pregnant women potentially plays a role in provision of immune protection against malaria in the first birth year.However, the effect of Lanyards Intermittent Prophylactic Treatment in Pregnancy (IPTp) and placental malaria on the extent of in-ute
Acting Styles of the British New Wave
Acting Styles of the British New Wave British New Wave cinema is typically associated with two groups of actors.One includes those with an established position (such as Peter Finch, Laurence Olivier or Dirk Bogarde), and the other those at the beginning Document case of their film career.The latter group seems to be much more interesting in terms o
Use of Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization in the Estimation of Kinetic Parameters of Green Coconut Biomass
The development of more economically and energy-efficient processes for the sustainable production of fuels and chemicals is becoming increasingly necessary.In this context, it is relevant to understand the behaviour of thermal degradation of different biomasses in oxygen free atmosphere to investigate the breakdown of polymer chains, which can be
Molecular characteristics, fitness, and virulence of high-risk and non-high-risk clones of carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae
ABSTRACTExtensively drug-resistant (XDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae inflict a notable burden on healthcare worldwide.Of specific concern are strains producing carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzymes, as the therapeutic options for these strains are still very limited.Specific sequence types of K.pneumoniae have been noted for their epidemic occurrence globally,
Critical Propagation Path Identification for Cascading Overload Failures With Multi-Stage MILP
Cascading overload failures of transmission lines are one of the dominant factors that induce catastrophic blackouts.The reliability risk of cascading overload failures is significantly underestimated in traditional adequacy assessment studies.This paper proposes an evaluation model for the assessment of $N$ Pillows - $k$ contingencies as cascading
