BackgroundIsoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) against tuberculosis (TB) is a life-saving intervention for people living with HIV (PLHIV).In September 2017, Malawi began programmatic scale-up of IPT to eligible PLHIV in five districts with high HIV and TB burden.We measured the frequency and timeliness of early-phase IPT implementation to inform qual
Reporting Characteristics in Sports Nutrition
Purpose: To examine data reporting characteristics in sports nutrition.Methods: We examined 236 papers from ten journals published in 2016.The primary outcome was statistical variance associated with treatment (SD (correct) vs.SEM or CI).Secondary outcomes included the reporting of: (a) effect sizes (Y/N); (b) outcome prioritization (Y/N; primary,
Sexualization of Female Perpetration in Fictional Holocaust Films: A Case Study of The Reader (2008)
The publication of Bernhard Schlink’s novel The Reader (1995) sparked conversation and controversy about sexuality, female perpetrators and the complexity of guilt regarding the Holocaust.The screen adaptation of the book (Daldry 2008) amplified these discussions on an international scale.Fictional Holocaust films have a history of being met
A New Polar Transfer Alignment Algorithm with the Aid of a Star Sensor and Based on an Adaptive Unscented Kalman Filter
Because of the harsh polar environment, the master strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) Lacrosse gloves has low accuracy and the system model information becomes abnormal.In this case, existing polar transfer alignment (TA) algorithms which use the measurement information provided by master SINS would lose their effectiveness.In this paper,
Extractive desulfurization of liquid fuel using diamine-terminated polyethylene glycol as a very low vapour pressure and green molecular solvent
Removal of sulfur compounds from liquid fuel is one of the important issues in the field of energy and environment.Among the available methods, extractive desulfurization (EDS) is of great interest due to its convenient operating conditions.In this study, EDS performance of 4,7,10-trioxatridecane-1,13-diamine (TTD), a very low vapour pressure diami
