OBJECTIVE: To estimate the global burden of cholera using population-based incidence data and reports.METHODS: Side Tables Countries with a recent history of cholera were classified as endemic or non-endemic, depending on whether they had reported cholera cases in at least three of the five most recent years.The percentages of the population in eac
The paper is devoted to the model-theoretic formalization of the semantic model of the object domain.The article discusses the concept of a fuzzy model, which Accessories is a model where the truth function exhibits properties of a fuzzy measure.We demonstrate that a fuzzy model is a generalization of the concept of fuzzification of a precedent (se
Sulfs are extracellular endosulfatases that selectively remove the 6-O-sulfate groups from cell surface heparan sulfate (HS) chain.By altering the sulfation at these particular sites, Sulfs function to remodel HS chains.As a result of the remodeling activity, HSulf2 regulates a multitude of cell-signaling events that depend on interactions between
Abstract Background Recently we reported the design and evaluation of floating semi-implantable devices that receive power from and bidirectionally communicate with an external system using coupling by volume conduction.The approach, of which the semi-implantable devices are proof-of-concept prototypes, may overcome some limitations presented by ex
