This study looks at the research supporting the efficacy of topical cervical escharotic treatments as well as systemic botanical and vitamin support in the regression of Human Papillomavirus and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and in the prevention of cervical cancer. A small retrospective cohort case study (n=3) was conducted to further support the use of naturopathic protocols as an alternative and risk-free treatment strategy for Human Papillomavirus and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Basic Procedures –The case study looked retrospectively at a population (n=3) whom received identical natural and alternative treatment plans for CIN 2/3. Patients were treated topically and systemically by Naturopathic Physicians at the University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine in Bridgeport, CT. Subjects were followed longitudinally until 3-month follow up Pap smear post-treatment. Research focused on papers supporting conventional and naturopathic cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and Human Papillomavirus treatment strategies for cervical cancer prevention. Research also focused on specific mechanisms of vitamin and mineral and botanical phytochemicals and their role in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia regression. The database used for searching was PubMed and all papers were all published within the last 20 years. Main Findings – Natural topical escharotic agents and systemic vitamin and botanical support provide a relatively risk free and safe alternative treatment for Human Papillomavirus infection and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in comparison to traditional methods used in the prevention of cervical cancer. Principal Conclusions – Given the accuracy in Pap screening tests, and our knowledge of the risks associated with traditional treatment strategies, the least invasive, most natural, safe and effective treatments that address the cause should be offered to patients diagnosed with Human Papillomavirus infection and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia
Robust Prediction for Intra and Inter Handoff (RPIIH) Process over CDMA2000
No full text© ASEE 2014The overall performance of mobile nodes is mainly affected by the relatively considerable time spent in the handoff process. Most of the time spent is mainly consumed during the authentication process. This process could be even longer especially when the Access Points (AP’s) are busy, which results in delays and/or packets loss. Many handoff techniques have been proposed to shorten the time of authentication however todate, they have not been fully successful. This paper introduces a more robust technique for saving the time consumed during authentication. The adopted approach is suitable within the regions that use the intra-handoff technique as well as those applying the inter-handoff technique. To validate our model, we have used ns-2 based simulations and plotted the findings
Dorm Hair: Black Sisterhood, Protest and Academic Excellence at Harvard, 1975-1990
No full textThe Association of Black Radcliffe Women (ABRW) started in the spring of 1975. They first wanted to achieve unity among the students “from all regions of the United States, Central America, the Caribbean, and Africa.” These women were very aware of the ethnic and cultural variety among the black community of women. They also set up a big sibling program to address was the divide between upper clanswomen and the “freshwomen.” This would allow cross-class friendships and mentorships to flourish across the divide between the Harvard Yard and upper class houses. The diverse community of black women took its first steps in strengthening its constituency
Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Carbon Nanotube & Pulmonary Surfactant Protein - B Interactions
No full textAbsorption of proteins onto carbon nanotubes is important part of biomedical engineering because it is helpful to fabricate stable, compatible and sensitive scaffold, which is the basic step of fabricating biosensors. Many previous researches show that most of the proteins can be absorbed on surface of carbon nanotube. However, the mechanism of this absorption is not specific clear. In this lecture, mechanism of protein absorbed on nanotube will be explained by molecular dynamics(MD) using NAMD and VMD software package
Efficient Search (RES) for One-Hop Destination over Wireless Sensor Networks
No full textThe revolution of wireless sensors networks (WSNs) has highly augmented the expectations of people to get the work done efficiently, but there is little bit impediment to deal with deployed nodes in WSNs. The nature of used routing and medium access control (MAC) protocols in WSNs is completely different from wireless adhoc network protocols. Sensor nodes do not have enough capability to synchronize with robust way, in resulting causes of longer delay and waste of energy. In this paper, we deploy efficientenergy consuming sensors and to find one hop robust and efficient destination search in WSNs. We firstly deploy BT (Bluetooth enabled) sensors, which offer passive and active sensing capability to save energy. This work is a continuation of previous published work in. The BT node is supported with efficient search methods. The main objective of this contribution is to control different types of objects from remote places using cellular phone. To validate our proposed methodology, simulation is done with network simulator (ns2) to examine the behavior of WSNs. Based on simulation results, we claim that our approach saves 62% energy spent for finding best one-hop destination as compared with existing techniques
