Hiv 1

AIDS is a globalized infectious disease. In 2014, UNAIDS launched a global project of “90-90-90” to end the HIV epidemic by 2030. The second and third 90 require 90% of HIV-1 infected individuals receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) and durable virological suppression. However, wide use of ART will greatly increase the emergence and spreading of HIV drug resistance and current HIV drug resistance test (DRT) assays in China are seriously lagging behind, hindering to achieve virological suppression. Therefore, recommending an appropriate HIV DRT method is critical for HIV routine surveillance and prevention in China. In this review, we summarized the current existing HIV drug resistance genotypic testing methods around the world and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of these methods.

ABSTRACTAn equivalent circuit model of electrical conduction in polymer-filler particulate composites was developed in this study. The equivalent circuit was constructed for an individual composite particle with a sub-monolayer of conductive filler, where the filler particles play the role of circuit nodes, and inter-particle contacts are represented by resistors between the nodes. The mathematical representation of the equivalent circuit in the form of a linear system of equations for nodal potentials was solved numerically with Matlab software to calculate conductance of the composite as a function of the amount of conductive filler, filled fraction of the monolayer, filler-to-matrix size ratio and the degree of structuredness (non-randomness) of the filler material. Additionally, percolation concentrations and statistical distributions of composite conductance were calculated as functions of the filler-to-matrix size ratio.

Gradient Coil Design

Ultra-high-speed imaging methods have gained in credibility over the past two years by virtue of improvements in imaging quality. This has come about by increases in both signal:noise ratios and image matrix size. Signal:noise improvements have been gained largely by use of higher magnetic field strengths. In echo-planar imaging (EP1) the image matrix size, and hence pixel resolution, depends on the use of large rapidly switched magnetic field gradients. Improvements in gradient coil design, the introduction of active magnetic screening of the coils and the availability of more powerful amplifiers, have all helped to achieve higher in-plane resolution. On our home-built system, operating at 0.5 T, the pixel resolution is currently 3 x 1.5 mm 2 for a slice thickness of ca . 10 mm. The principles of EP1 are briefly outlined and results of current techniques presented. Future perspectives will be directed to combinations of EP1 with spectroscopy and new developments in echo-volumar imaging.

Building information modelling is further globalizing architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professional partnerships. However, little is known on the effect of cultural and human factors on BIM-enabled visualization applications. This desktop study examined the extant literature on factors relating to application of BIM-enabled visualization technologies as a process that can improve, leverage, and conduct visual communication for coordination during implementation of global projects. It identifies BIM-enabled visualization having the capability in facilitating knowledge flows in complex discontinuous working environment of a property development's life cycle, and supports designers' understanding in its early working phases. This chapter presents the development of a theoretical proposition for embedding local work culture etiquette in BIM-enabled visualization application for augmenting dynamic knowledge transfer among discontinuous members in a building project. The result is expected to benefit rapidly developing countries (e.g., Malaysia) in enabling successful partnerships with counterparts from developed countries.

Data Analysis Methods

Synthesizing data analysis methods adopted under in situ global project in Nepal along withvariables and nature of study could be guiding reference for researchers especially to those involvedin on farm research. The review work was conducted with the objective to help in utilizing andmanaging in situ database system. The objectives of the experiment, the structure of the treatmentsand the experimental design used primarily determine the type of analysis. There were 60 papers ofthis project published in Nepal. All these papers are grouped under 8 thematic groups namely 1.Agroecosystem (3 papers), 2. Agromorphological and farmers’ perception (7 papers), 3. Croppopulation structure (5 papers), 4. Gender, policy and general (15 papers), 5. Isozyme andmolecular (6 papers), 6. Seed systems and farmers’ networks (5 papers), 7. Social, cultural andeconomical (11 papers) and 8. Value addition (8 papers). All these papers were reviewed basicallyfor data type, sample size, sampling methods, statistical methods and tools, varieties and purposes.Descriptive and inferential statistics along with multivariate methods were commonly used in onfarm research. Experimental design, the most common in on station trial was least used. Study overspace and time was not adopted. There were 5 kinds of data generated, 45 statistical tools adoptedin eight different crop species. Among the 5 kinds of data under these eight subject areas,categorical type was highest followed by discrete numerical. Binary type was least in frequency.Most of the papers were related to rice followed by taro and finger millet. Cucumber and pigeonpea were studied least. Descriptive statistics along with Χ2, multivariate analysis and regressionapproaches would be appropriate tools. Similarly SPSS and MINITAB may be good software. Thebest one among a number of statistical tools should be selected and utmost care must be exercisedwhile collecting data.Key words: Data analysis methods; on farm research; on station research; subject areasDOI: 10.3126/narj.v6i0.3371Nepal Agriculture Research Journal Vol.6 2005 pp.98-108

<p>AHP/ANP stability measurement methods are described. In this paper we define the method's stability as the measure of its results dependence on the expert's errors, made during pair comparisons. Ranking Stability (order preservation in alternative ranking under natural expert's errors, made during expert estimation) and Estimating Stability (maintaining alternative weights within the specified maximal relative inaccuracy range) are considered. Targeted Genetic Algorithm search procedure is used for possible stability violation detection. Then division-in-half (dichotomy) method is applied to calculate stability metric of a given criteria hierarchy.</p><p>http://dx.doi.org/10.13033/ijahp.v3i1.50</p>
