Background: Antinuclear antibody (ANA) testing is the first test ordered in any patient suspected of autoimmune diseases.Often ANA indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) screening tests have high sensitivity because of high background, which can lead to erroneous clinical diagnosis and management when ordered unnecessarily.The following study was undert
Pseudofermion method for the exact description of fermionic environments: From single-molecule electronics to the Kondo resonance
We develop a discrete fermion approach for modeling the strong interaction of an arbitrary system interacting with continuum electronic reservoirs.The approach is based on a pseudofermion SPEED ORANGE decomposition of the continuum bath correlation functions and is only limited by the accuracy of this decomposition.We show that to obtain this decom
PARTICIPATION, CIVIL SOCIETY AND SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE
In 1994 South Africa became a democracy with a government elected by the people for the people.Citizens taking control of their own lives is a general goal of a democracy.The Constitution (RSA, 1996), the Reconstruction and Development Programme (ANC, 1994) and subsequent policy documents all advocate the importance of participation and the role Bo
Combinatorial Test Suites Generation Strategy Utilizing the Whale Optimization Algorithm
The potentially many software system input combinations Craft Beer Glasses make exhaustive testing practically impossible.To address this issue, combinatorial t-way testing (where t indicates the interaction strength, i.e.the number of interacting parameters (input)) was adopted to minimize the number of cases for testing.Complimentary to existing
EBV infection determines the immune hallmarks of plasmablastic lymphoma
Despite recent therapeutic progress, plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL), a distinct entity of high grade B cell lymphoma, is still an aggressive lymphoma with adverse prognosis.PBL commonly occurs in patients with HIV infection and PBL cells frequently express Epstein Barr virus (EBV) genome with type I latency.Occasionally however, PBL may develop in pa
