Model-based glycemic control offers direct management of patient-specific variability and better adaptive control. Implementation of the model-based glycemic control has the potential to reduce hyperglycemia episodes, mortality and morbidity as seen in some successful TGC. The design of any TGC must consider not only the glycemic target range but a

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic, progressive inflammatory disorder that results in ankylosis of the vertebral column and sacroiliac joints.  More than 30% of patients with AS carry a heavy burden of disease and have a decreased quality of life.  The HLA-B*27 is a well known genetic risk variant for ankylosing spondylitis (AS).  Ho

This book is a qualitative, non-empirical, textual and contextual study of six literary works by writers of the Muslim diaspora from the UK and the US published in the aftermath of the 9/11 event. The texts selected are Monica Ali’s Brick Lane (2003), Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner (2003), Leila Aboulela’s Minaret (2005), Mohsin Hamid’s

Peritonitis is a common complication in patients that undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). This problem causes a major difficulty in performing CAPD treatment efficiently and successfully; especially with the patients that develop this problem at the early stage of training period. Hence, this study was conducted to measure

Hospital-acquired pneumonia and ventilator-associated pneumonia continue to cause significant morbidity and mortality. With increasing rates of antimicrobial resistance, the importance of optimizing antibiotic treatment is key to maximize treatment outcomes. This is especially important in critically ill patients in intensive care units, in whom th

Newly introduced ICDAS II as a visual method, laser fluorescence as another technique that have ability to quantify early mineral loss of tooth structure and intra oral radiograph, are methods can be used in the clinic. To provide standardization for comprehensive caries management at an early stage, all methods supposed to be tested between users.

This paper provides a study on passive aeroelastic control optimization, by means of aeroelastic tailoring, of a composite supersonic wing equipped with external stores. The objective of the optimization is to minimize wing weight by considering the aeroelastic flutter and divergence instability speeds as constraints at several flight altitudes. Th

Nowadays it is quite rampant that consumers are being the subject of scams; both either in relation to goods or services. Buyers of land (or potential buyers) are also without exception, become the subject of scams. Inexperienced buyers who probably may be the first-time buyers or young buyers seemed to be vulnerable and easily been influenced by s

The Rapid Prototyping (RP) technology has been developed since its original introduction, leading to a significant improvement in the manufacture of high-quality finished products. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a RP technology that has been widely used because of the flexibility of the FDM process. Despite the popularity of the FDM machines, c
