A novel high-speed page mode sense scheme for EPROMs and flash EEPROMs has been developed. A divided bit line architecture makes it possible to adopt a folded bit line architecture in which sense amplifiers are located at the end of the bit lines. Dynamic sensing avoids the soft write problem by reducing bit line volta... |
In the main scientific discourse, dreaming is considered to be an activity taking place within individual minds. For this reason, dreaming is sharply contrasted with the waking condition, where individual minds and bodies are presumed to interact with each other and with shared environments. Current anthropological the... |
BACKGROUND |
The aim of this study was to compare serum levels of tetanus antibody in diabetic patients over 50 years of age with those of age- and sex-matched non-diabetic controls. |
MATERIAL/METHODS |
The study population consisted of 115 type 2 diabetic patients and 115 age- and sex-matched non-diabetic patients. Serum levels of tetanus IgG were measured by a commercial ELISA kit, and levels over 0.1 IU/ml were considered protective. |
RESULTS |
Mean serum levels of tetanus antibody in the diabetic and control groups were 0.164+/-0.140 IU/ml vs. 0.374+/-0.534 IU/ml, respectively (p<0.001). Mean serum levels of tetanus antibody in the diabetics vs. controls aged 50-64 years were 0.172+/-0.141 IU/ml vs. 0.568+/-0.653 IU/ml and in those p<0.001, p=1.000). Among p... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Serum levels of tetanus antibody decreased in diabetic patients older than 50 years of age, whereas this period of time is prolonged to 65 years in healthy individuals. All individuals over 65 years should be vaccinated against tetanus; however, vaccination over 50 years of age might be considered for diabetic patients... |

Radiative forcings due to ozone and methane have been calculated accordingly. In addition radiative ... |
how Kotkin will present the loaded history of Soviet-German relations in the 1930s in his next volume. Some passages from the book read topically, and not only for Cold War history. Turning against the West and doing things ‘in my own way’, fateful errors that the authoritarian Soviet leadership could not admit or reca... |
For thousands of years, philosophers have been debating what a meaningful life entails and the best way to create one. In their article, Garland, Farb, Goldin, and Fredrickson (this issue) offer a comprehensive account of one such pathway that originates with the act of mindfulness. Specifically, when people are faced ... |
While existing studies point to a high degree of physical and sexual violence 1against women in Nepal, there is a lack of studies assessing the extent of violence among women who participate in foreign labor migration. This paper tries to fill this research gap by assessing the prevalence of spousal violence against wo... |
Christophers' stages durations and effect of interrupted blood meal were investigated in laboratory to study the gonotrophic cycle of Aedes caspius (Pallas, 1771). A first experiment was done with replete females (full blood meal) and females with an interrupted blood meal. Females were then regularly dissected, the du... |
Rats were given bilateral injections of colchicine into the dorsal and ventral hippocampus to study the role of the dentate gyrus granule cells in the acquisition and performance of a spatial, working memory task in the radial arm maze. Three weeks after intradentate injections, rats were trained in a task in which all... |
The core region of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was analysed by four LPS-core-specific human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs; FK-2E7, MH-4H7, OM-1D6 and NM-3G8). Reactivity of these mAbs to about 180 P. aeruginosa strains was tested. FK-2E7 bound to strains of Homma serotype E and I at a frequency of abo... |
For the battery management system, accurate estimation of the state of charge and state of health is of great significance. Herein, the ternary Li‐ion battery is taken as the research object; the second‐order resistor‐capacitor (RC) equivalent circuit is taken advantage of to characterize the battery performance. A met... |

Lacerations of the lip are a common injury seen in a pediatrician’s office. Obtaining an optimal long-term result depends on following basic surgical principles of wound repair. When repairing a lip laceration, the goal is to have what surgeons call a “tidy wound,” that is, a wound that has minimal associated tissue da... |
The first step in the evaluation of lip laceration is to determine the extent …Death at a discount: how the tobacco industry thwarted tobacco control policies in US military commissaries |
Background: The US military is perhaps the only retailer consistently losing money on tobacco. Military stores (commissaries and exchanges) have long sold discount-priced cigarettes, while the Department of Defense (DoD) pays directly for tobacco-related healthcare costs of many current and former customers. Tobacco us... |

Eritrea is one of the countries in the continent that is relatively late adaptor of mobile broadband technologies. This change in the local mobile landscape is creating an urgent need for enhanc... |
Steady-state kinetic parameters were determined for the human leukocyte elastase catalyzed hydrolysis of a series of peptide-based thiobenzyl esters and p-nitroanilides. The peptide units are MeOSuc-Val, MeOSuc-Alan-Pro-Val (n = 0-2), and MeOSuc-Alan-Pro-Ala (n = 1 or 2). The results of this study suggest five importan... |
BACKGROUND |
Using data from a multiethnic cohort, the authors tested associations of multiple types and intensities of physical activity (PA) with abdominal muscle area and density. |
METHODS |
1895 Multiethnic Study of Atherosclerosis participants (mean age 64.6 [9.6] y) completed health history and PA questionnaires and computed tomography to quantify body composition and measurements of cardiovascular and inflammatory biomarkers. Analyses included multivariable regression. |
RESULTS |
Compared with those not meeting PA guidelines for Americans, those meeting the guidelines had higher total abdominal muscle area (odds ratio, 95% confidence interval 1.60, 1.20 to 2.15), stability muscle area (1.68, 1.28 to 2.20), and stability muscle density (1.35, 1.03 to 1.76). After adjustment for relevant covariat... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Most types of PA are positively associated with abdominal muscle area and density across functional categories, independent of relevant covariates. These results provide additional evidence for promoting PA for healthy muscle aging.Structure and Optical Properties of Magnetron-Sputtered SiOx Layers with Silicon Nanopar... |
