Background: High prevalence of high-risk behaviours and concurrent medical illnesses among opioid drug users would influence the outcome of Methadone Maintenance Programme. It would also require a special medical attention to contain these issues. Objectives: This study explored patients’ characteristics and their high-risk behaviours in order to

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the next generation wireless system that uses Break-before-Connect technology in the handover scheme, unlike handover in the Wide-band Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) that uses Connect-before- Break technology. In the LTE system, handover is one of the important radio resource management schemes that are responsib

This cross-linguistic study traces the patterns of Malay and English linguistic subsystems and investigates similarities and differences between them. It focuses on the lexico-grammatical features of the two languages and in particular, on present time temporal references. The data collection of this study involved the production of Malay and Engli

In this paper we report on the electrical impedance spectroscopy characterization of endothelial cell lines (RFPEC). For electrical cell-substrate impedance sensing (ECIS) of the endothelial cells a commercially available eight-well cell culture impedance array (ECIS-8W1E) was used. The impedance measurements were recorded with cell culture medium

We give a defination of doubly stoshastic quadratic operator, defined on infinite demensional space and prove necessary condition for doubly stochasticity of such operators.

Objective: Hypoglycemic attack had been reported as one of the medical complications in anorexia nervosa. Method: We present a 25-year-old man who was diagnosed earlier with anorexia nervosa, presented with an episode of dissociative state during which he was caught for shoplifting. Results: In the history, he had a few episodes of fainting spells,

We consider the one-dimensional countable state p-adic Potts model. A construction of generalized p-adic Gibbs measures depending on weights λ is given, and an investigation of such measures is reduced to the examination of a p-adic dynamical system. This dynamical system has a form of series of rational functions. Studying such a dynamical system

Background: The burden on cardiovascular disease in Malaysia is in the increasing trend and this is associated with a number of risk factors. Aim: This study aims to explore the prevalence of major cardiovascular risk factors among employees of Engineering Campus, Universiti Sains Malaysia. Design: A cross-sectional study was carried out from 19th

In this paper we study Volterra type operators on infinite dimensional simplex. It is provided a sufficient condition for Volterra type operators to be bijective. Furthermore it is proved that the condition is not necessary.Volume 4,Number 4 October 2009 ISSN:1559-1948 (PRINT), 1559-1956 (ONLINE) EUDOXUS PRESS,LLC JOURNAL OF APPLIED FUNCTIONAL ANAL
