Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a generally accepted method for treatment of patients with the end-stage renal disease.A larger proportion of PD patients transfer to haemodialysis every year than the converse.Many of the underlying causes of transfer to haemodialysis are preventable.Infectious complications still remain the most common reason for trans
Co-infection is an underappreciated phenomenon in contemporary disease ecology despite its ubiquity and importance in nature.Viruses, and other co-infecting agents, can interact in ways that shape host and agent communities, influence infection dynamics, and drive evolutionary selective pressures.Bats are host to many viruses of zoonotic potential
As novice researchers and supervisors, the researchers of the current study have noticed that many postgraduate students encounter challenges in understanding qualitative research methodology.As such, the purpose of this work is to offer guidelines for new researchers on how to undertake and comprehend qualitative TEA TREE SPRAY research.The main o
This study aims to investigate sex-related differences in raw item scores on the Movement Assessment Battery for Children, 2nd Edition (MABC-2) in a large data set collected in different regions across the world, seeking to unravel whether there is an interaction effect between sex and the origin of the sample (European versus African).In this retr
This paper focuses on the nonlinear dynamics modeling and parameter identification of an Aluminum Honeycomb Panel (AHP) with multiple bolted joints.Finite element method using eight-node solid elements is exploited to model the panel and the bolted connection interface as a homogeneous, isotropic plate and as a thin layer of nonlinear elastic-plast
