The diagnosis of single-lesion paucibacillary leprosy remains a challenge.Reviews by expert dermatopathologists and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) results obtained from 66 single-plaque biopsy samples were compared.Histological findings were graded as high (HP), medium (MP) or low (LP) probability of leprosy or other dermatopathy (OD
The banking sector has seen considerable transformation in the 1980s starting from the United States, then Europe and now the global village.This study adopted the survey methodology.The purpose of this study was to determine the key variables in information system planning of six banks in the Greater Cat Dehydrated Accra Region of Ghana.The main o
This paper provides a brief investigation on suitability of Proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) as the source of power for transportation purposes.Hydrogen is an attractive alternative transportation fuel.It is the least polluting fuel that can be used in an internal combustion engine (ICE) and it is widely available.If hydrogen is used in
Globally, the major source of environmental pollution as a result of mineral exploitation and processing is acid mine drainage (AMD).AMD refers to outflowing streams of acidic constituents from pyrite-bearing ore mines.The exposure of pyrite (FeS2) in coal waste dumps to atmospheric oxygen and water in the presence of microbial communities promotes
Whether mathematical and linguistic processes share the same neural mechanisms has been a matter of controversy.By examining various sentence structures, we recently demonstrated that activations in the left inferior frontal gyrus (L.IFG) and left supramarginal gyrus (L.SMG) were modulated by the Degree of Merger (DoM), a measure for the complexity
