OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of nutritional rickets in children hospitalized with severe pneumonia. METHOD: This study was carried out at the department of paediatric medicine at National Institute of Child Health Karachi. It is a case series done over a period of six months from 15th November 2008 to 15th may 2009. Patients admitted (n=13

We show that some C∗-dynamical systems obtained by free Fock quantization of classical ones, enjoy ergodic properties much stronger than their boson or fermion analogous. Namely, if the classical dynamical system (X, T, μ) is ergodic but not weakly mixing, then the resulting free quantized system (G, α) is uniquely ergodic (w.r.t. the fixed poi

Fatty acid compositions of fish oil extracted from different parts of Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) using various techniques of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) at optimised conditions (35 MPa, 60 �C, 2 ml/min) were analysed and compared to the results of Soxhlet extraction. The amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) recover

The total oil was extracted from the ground skin of Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) using various techniques of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) at 20–35 MPa and 45–75 �C and by the Soxhlet method for comparison. The oil yield increased with pressure and temperature and the highest yields were 24.7, 53.2, 52.8, and 52.3/100 g sam

This study focuses on improving the effectiveness of Muslim preachers (dai’e) by providing them with a theory of psychology that allows preachers to address the psychological issues of their audience. After reviewing various theories of personality, this author proposes Erickson‟s theory as the key theory that preachers can use to become more e

This study looks at the usefulness of 5 hadith to allow Muslim managers to effectively manage social traps and ethical dilemmas. These hadith are: "actions are but by intentions", "the religion is naseeha", "the lawful is clear and the forbidden is clear", "there is no harming and no reciprocating of harm" and "w

INTRODUCTION: Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is an inherited ataxia with a range of progressive features including axonal degeneration of sensory nerves. The aim of this study was to investigate auditory perception in affected individuals. METHODS: Fourteen subjects with genetically defined FRDA participated. Two control groups, one consisting of h

This publication is based on the research done in the course of setting up Munich Re’s office for Islamic reinsurance: Munich Re’s retakaful operation (MRR) was licensed by the Central Bank of Malaysia on 31 December 2007 in Kuala Lumpur to conduct worldwide family and general retakaful business. The purpose of this publication is to provide an

We consider linear and nonlinear stochastic models of transmission Rhesus factor from parents to their offspring and show that in long run behavior the frequency of Rhesus factor be the same.Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 4(8): 3306-3310, 2010 ISSN 1991-8178© 2010, INSInet Publication Stochastic Models of Heredity Rhesus Factor

We study the phase diagram for Potts model on a Cayley tree with competing nearestneighbor interactions J1, prolonged next-nearest-neighbor interactions J2 and one-level nextnearest- neighbor interactions J3. Vannimenus [1] proved that the phase diagram of Ising model with Jo = 0 contains a modulated phase, as found for similar models on periodic l
