Attitudes toward Female Circumcision among Men and Women in Two Districts in Somalia: Is It Time to Rethink Our Eradication Strategy in Somalia? by Abdi A. Gele, Bente P. Bø, Johanne Sundby

“…Therefore, since the “zero tolerance policy” has failed to change people’s support for the continuation of the practice in Somalia, programmes that promote the pinch of the clitoral skin and verbal alteration of status, with the goal of leading to total abandonment of FC, should be considered for the Somali context.…”

Fault Modeling and Testing for Analog Circuits in Complex Space Based on Supply Current and Output Voltage by Hongzhi Hu, Shulin Tian, Qing Guo

“…Furthermore, in order to reduce the difficulty of fault location, an improved fault model in three-dimensional (3D) complex space is proposed, which achieves a far better fault detection ratio (FDR) against measurement error and parametric tolerance. To address the problem of fault masking in both 2D and 3D fault models, this paper proposes an effective design for testability (DFT) method. …”

A Newton-Based Extremum Seeking MPPT Method for Photovoltaic Systems with Stochastic Perturbations by Heng Li, Jun Peng, Weirong Liu, Zhiwu Huang, Kuo-Chi Lin

“…Treating stochastic perturbations as excitation signals, the proposed MPPT controller has a good tolerance of stochastic perturbations in nature. Different from conventional gradient-based extremum seeking MPPT algorithm, the convergence rate of the proposed controller can be totally user-assignable rather than determined by unknown power map. …”

Effects of Helicobacter pylori Water Extract on Expression of Endothelial Adhesion Molecules by Norimasa Yoshida, Kyoichi Kassai, Hironobu Murase, Yukiko Tanaka, Satoshi Kokura, Hiroshi Ichikawa, Yuji Naito, Takeshi Okanoue, Toshikazu Yoshikawa

“…In a fractionation study, approximately 7 kDa fraction showed peak activity. This activity was tolerant to heating and trypsin digestion. These results indicate that H pylori water extract contains water-soluble, low-molecular, nonprotein substances which induce upregulation of adhesion molecules on human umbilical vein endothelial cells, suggesting that products of H pylori may elicit gastric mucosal inflammation by promoting expression of endothelial adhesion molecules.…”
