Kautilya on Foresight, Oversight, Regulations, Ethics and Systemic Risk
(Scientific Research, 2017-04)In the wake of the recent Great recession of 2008-9, prudential supervision and “too-big-to-fail” have become the focal topics of discussion and policy. Western countries have added prudential supervision to complement ... -
Kinetic Study of Decolorization of Methylene Blue with Sodium Sulphite in Aqueous Media: Influence of Transition Metal Ions
(2014-04)The kinetics of decolorization of methylene blue (MB+) with sodium sulphite in aqueous media was investigated over the temperature range 20-40°C. The kinetic studies were carried out as a function of different variables ... -
Knockdown of Dock7 in vivo specifically affects myelination by Schwann cells and increases myelin thickness in sciatic nerves without affecting axon thickness
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)During development of the peripheral nervous system (PNS), Schwann cells (SCs) wrap individual axons to form myelin sheaths, which act as surrounding insulators and markedly enhance the propagation of the action potential. ... -
Knowledge, Attitudes, and Experiences of HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Trial Participants in Botswana
(Scientific Research, 2015-03)Recent clinical trials have shown that a daily dose of oral TDF/FTC pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is effective in reducing human immunodeficiency (HIV) risk. Understanding trial participants’ perspectives about retention ... -
Late Presentation of a Congenital Intrinsic Duodenal Obstruction in a Patient with Anorectal Malformation
(Scientific Research, 2013-07)Anorectal Malformations are known to be associated with various other congenital anomalies including duodenal atresia. An association of congenital intrinsic duodenal obstruction causing partial duodenal obstruction in a ... -
Layout Design of LC VCO with Current Mirror Using 0.18 µm Technology
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-04)This paper presents a new design of complementary oxide semiconductor voltage controlled oscillator (CMOS VCO) for improve tuning range and phase noise with low power consumption. Design is area efficient and easy to ... -
Learning Based Falling Detection Using Multiple Doppler Sensors
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-04)Automated falling detection is one of the important tasks in this ageing society. Such systems are supposed to have little interference on daily life. Doppler sensors have come to the front as useful devices to detect human ... -
Leasehold: An Institutional Framework for Understanding Nonprofit Governance in a Civil Society Context
(MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute), 2015-09)Nonprofit organizations play a role in the creation of a society that is civil, and it is an important one that neither the state nor for-profit organizations undertake. This raises the question of governance and accountability, ... -
Left Ventricular Reconstruction and Mitral Valve Annuloplasty Combined with Papillary Muscle Relocation for Severe Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation
(Scientific Research, 2017-12)A 46-year-old man was referred to our hospital due to severe ischemic mitral regurgitation with severe bileaflet tethering and a dilated left ventricle. We performed left ventricular reconstruction and mitral valve ... -
LiFi is a paradigm-shifting 5G technology
(Elsevier, 2018-11)In this paper we will first explain what Light-Fidelity (LiFi) is and argue that it is a 5th Generation (5G) technology. Peak transmission speeds of 8 Gbps from a single light source have been demonstrated, and complete ... -
Linear, Cubic and Quintic Coordinate-Dependent Forces and Kinematic Characteristics of a Spring-Mass System
(2013-09)By combining a pair of linear springs we devise a nonlinear vibrator. For a one dimensional scenario the nonlinear force is composed of a polynomial of odd powers of position-dependent variable greater than or equal three. ... -
A Linguistic Examination of the CapitalCube™ Market Effect Variables
(Sciedu Press, 2016-05)Introduction: Linguistic variables and the nuanced market information they afford are critical to the efficient and effective functioning of market trading platforms. In this research, we report on our investigation of the ... -
Living Organ Donation, Beneficient Helping, & the Kantian Concept of Partial Self-Murder
(Scientific Research, 2014-11)This paper deals with the ethical issues concerning living organ donor transplantation in the context of Immanuel Kant’s Ethical Theory. It primarily aims to refute the common perception about Kant’s categorical opposition ... -
Location Based Performance of WiMAX Network for QoS with Optimal Base Stations (BS)
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-07)In this paper we are given concept of our WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) network perfor-mance for QoS monitoring and optimization solution for BS (Base Station) with multimedia application. In the ... -
Long Term Results of Valve Operations in Patients with Diabetes
(Scientific Research, 2012-12)Diabetes Mellitus (DM) adversely affects survival in patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) surgery. The influence of diabetes on events after valve operations is ... -
Long-term weight gain and economic impact in pigs castrated under local anaesthesia
(Elsevier, 2016)Castration is a controversial practice in swine production because in some countries is still performed without anaesthesia, and therefore causes intense suffering and stress to animals. This study investigated the effect ... -
