A Note on the Characterization of Two-Dimensional Quasi-Einstein Manifolds

Mathematics, 2020
In this article, we aim to introduce new classes of two-dimensional quasi-Einstein pseudo-Riemannian manifolds with constant curvature. We also give a classification of 2D quasi-Einstein manifolds of warped product type working in local coordinates.

Drug Potentiation of Macrophage Function [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1970
The mechanism by which macrophages kill facultative intracellular parasites is not known. A test system is described utilizing human macrophages derived from blood monocytes and the opportunistic pathogen Listeria monocytogenes . In this system, bacterial killing was impaired under hypoxic conditions.

A Situational Assessment of the Diagnostic Landscape and Organizational Readiness to Implement Next‐Generation Sequencing at Two Childhood Cancer Treatment Centers in Ghana

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has emerged as a promising approach to improve diagnostic accuracy, but its feasibility in low‐ and middle‐income countries remains unknown. This study characterized the diagnostic landscape and assessed organizational readiness for NGS implementation at two childhood cancer treatment centers in Accra ...

The Application of the Multi-Agent Coverage and Self-Healing Control Based on a Swarm Intelligence SONM and Potential Function Approach

IEEE Access, 2020
Self-organizing network will probably be a priority choice for the multi-agent systems because of its good features of configuration, management, optimization and self-healing. In this paper, a swarm intelligence coverage and self-healing method based on

Beyond the Document: A Single‐Center Qualitative Study of Survivorship Care Plan Barriers and Opportunities Across Pediatric Oncology Stakeholders

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivorship care plans (SCPs) summarize cancer treatment and guide risk‐based follow‐up for cancer survivors, yet remain difficult to create, share, and use. Stakeholder perspectives are needed to inform usable approaches.

Early Body Mass Index z‐Score Change and Resolution of Severe Malnutrition in Children With Sickle Cell Anemia in a Low‐Income Setting: A Prospective Single‐Arm Extension Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...

Global path planning for mobile robot based on improved artificial potential function

, 2009
There is a major problem with traditional artificial potential field method. It is the formation of local minima that can trap the robot before reaching its goal. To overcome the problem, this paper presents an improved potential field approach.
