Candida parapsilosis is an opportunistic yeast pathogen causing invasive candidiasis in susceptible patients, surpassing even Candida albicans in frequency in some centers/geographical areas and also causes ∼35% of all candidemia cases in neonates (1-5).….

Suppose that the nullity of the submatrix obtained from the deletion of a row and a column of the same index of a real symmetric matrix goes up by one. Such an index is called a P-vertex of the given matrix. It is known that the maximal number of P-vertices of a singula...

Formulas are obtained for the impedance and quality factor of planar printed inductors on a multilayer medium. These formulas account for all the geometrical, electrical and magnetic parameters of the multilayer medium. Numerical examples are given to show the effect of...

Knowledge management (KM) is considered an important intervention in improving health care services. KM facilitates the transfer of existing knowledge and the development of new knowledge in hospitals. This research focuses on investigating the relationship between KM ...

Abstract The effect of column dimension on resolution, sample capacity, retention time, efficiency and mobile phase composition were studied, using both constant flow rate and constant linear velocity. The four columns selected (A = 238 × 3.2 mm, B = 153 × 4.0 mm, C = 1...

The constrained Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approximation, based on the recent parametrization D1M$^{*}$ of the Gogny energy density functional, is used to describe fission in 435 superheavy nuclei. The Gogny-D1M$^{*}$ parametrization is benchmarked against available experi...

The growing popularity of the Internet of Things (IoT) systems such as the smart grid, Body Area Networks (BANs), and the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is driving Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) systems to the limit in terms of abilities and performance. WSNs we...

Abstract A thermal degradation model was developed for blends of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) subjected to non-isothermal (dynamic) thermogravimetry at four heating rates (5, 10, 15 and 20 °C/min). The model developed enabled the a...

Hazards can be defined as any source of potential damage/harm and they have a high probability of happening in our daily life and workplaces. Hazards are the main reason behind occupational accidents and occupational health and safety problems. Hazard analysis technique...
