Examination of a simple model of condom usage and individual withdrawal for the HIV epidemic by Jeff Musgrave, James Watmough

“…We show that the assumptionsof mass action and standard incidence provide similar results, which impliesthat the results of the simpler mass action model can be used as a good firstapproximation to the peak of the epidemic.…”

Acute Renal Replacement Therapy in Pediatrics by Rajit K. Basu, Derek S. Wheeler, Stuart Goldstein, Lesley Doughty

“…We discuss the major modalities and the data-driven specifics of each, followed by controversies in RRT. As no standard of care is in widespread use for RRT in AKI or in multiorgan disease, we conclude in this paper that prospective studies of RRT are needed to identify best practice guidelines.…”

Determination of Some Physical and Mechanical Properties of Laminated Scots Pine Using Polylactic Acid in the Middle Layers by Oğuzhan Uzun, Mehmet Sarıkahya, Veysel Tokdemir, Mehmet Nuri Yildirim

“…For this purpose, PLA parts with 30%, 60%, and 90% filling rates were glued to the middle of the 5-layer laminated material with polyurethane (PU) glue, and physical and mechanical tests were conducted according to the relevant standards. It was found that increasing the filler content resulted in higher density, reduced water absorption and thickness swelling, increased bending strength and modulus of elasticity, while screw holding resistance increased by approximately 75%. …”

Effects of 3R, 16S-2-hydroxyethyl apovincaminate (HEAPO), donepezil and galantamine on learning and memory retention in naïve Wistar rats by Dimitrova Darinka, Getova Damianka, Saracheva Kremena

“…The effects of 3R,16S-2-hydroxyethyl apovincaminate (HEAPO, RGH-10885) compared with those of two cholinesterase inhibitors, donepezil and galantamine, were examined in naïve Wistar rats using standard active and passive avoidance tests. The active avoidance test (shuttle box) and two passive avoidance tests (step-through and step-down) were performed according to the experimental design. …”
