ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Current medications used for the treatment of burn wounds have some side effects and disadvantages.Oral or topical administration of probiotic bacteria is thought to be useful for treatment of skin disorders.The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of spray-dried Streptococcus thermophilus on healing of seco
Who Believes in the Giant Skeleton Myth? An Examination of Individual Difference Correlates
This study examined individual difference correlates of belief in a narrative about the discovery of giant skeletal remains that contravenes mainstream scientific explanations.A total of 364 participants from Central Europe completed a survey that asked them to rate their agreement with a short excerpt describing the giant skeleton myth.Participant
ZnO nano-structured based devices for chemical and optical sensing applications
Zinc oxide (ZnO), a direct, wide band gap and n-type metal oxide semiconductor, is being anticipated as the next generation functional nano-material towards remarkably Gift Package diversified sensing applications.ZnO and its composites have revealed a new era in the fabrication of sensors owing to their excellent opto-electronic, physicochemical,
Experiences among parents caring for children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis at a tertiary referral hospital in Kenya
BackgroundJuvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease in childhood.Despite the availability of effective treatment strategies such as disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), JIA is reported to have a negative impact on the quality of life of the patients and their caregivers.Ascertaining the perceptions of the p
A unified diagrammatic approach to topological fixed point models
We introduce a systematic mathematical language for describing fixed point models and apply it to the study to topological phases of matter.The framework established is MACA+CACAO reminiscent to that of state-sum models and lattice topological quantum field theories, but is formalized and unified in terms of tensor networks.In contrast to existing
