Current responses to our most pressing societal challenges - from poverty to ethnic conflict to climate change - are not working. These problems are incredibly dynamic and complex, involving an ever-shifting array of factors, actors, and circumstances. They demand a highly fluid and adaptive approach, yet we address them by devising fixed, long-term plans. Social labs, says Zaid Hassan, are a dramatically more effective response. Social labs b...

Hormone therapy is the first targeted therapy also called estrogen suppression therapy often used as an adjuvant therapy to reduce the risk of cancer back after surgery or cancer that has spread. Aromatase inhibitors such as (anastrozole) are a common type of the hormone therapy, it interferes with the body's ability to produce estrogen from androgen by suppressing aromatase enzyme in post-menopausal women with positive estrogen receptor breas...

High-performance computing (HPC) describes the use of connected computing units to perform complex tasks. It relies on parallelization techniques and algorithms to synchronize these disparate units in order to perform faster than a single processor could, alone. Used in industries from medicine and research to military and higher education, this method of computing allows for users to complete complex data-intensive tasks. This field has under...

The design of flat slabs is often compromised by their ability to resist punching shear stresses at slab-column connections. Deterioration of concrete structures due to corrosion of steel limits the service-life and increases the rehabilitation costs and may lead to substantial damages and catastrophic collapses. The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars instead of steel bars, especially where steel corrosion is a major concern, has been ...

Spleen is a hemopoietic organ which is capable of supporting elements of different systems. Ultrasound (US) may detect mild splenomegaly before it is clinically palpable. Racial differences in splenic length could result in incorrect interpretation of splenic measurements & such differences would make it difficult to standardized expected splenic length & to determine non- palpable splenic enlargement. Aim of the study: to determine whether th...

This book is a trial to emphasis and explains the current transitions in the age-structure of the countries of Arab region, and to what extent it's relevant to current and future Internationally Agreed Development Goals IADGs, from one side, and in developing a conceptual framework for understanding the effects of age-structural transitions in achieving these goals on the other side. In addition, the book represents a trial made to establish a...

Recent droughts in Africa and elsewhere in the world, from China to Peru, have serious implications for food security and grave consequences for local and international politics. The issues do not just concern the plight of African peoples, but also our global ecological future. Global climatic changes become manifest initially in regions that are marginal or unstable. Africa's Sahel zone is one of the most sensitive climatic regions in the w...

Pregnancy is a normal process that results in a series of both physiological and psychological changes in women. The most observable result of physiological changes is minor discomforts. Although minor discomforts are not serious, their presence detracts from the mother feeling of comfort and well-being. In many instances, they can be avoided by preventive measures or healthful practices once they do occur.

Aromatase inhibitors use two distinct mechanisms to block the action of aromatase and thereby reduce estrogen production. Type I inhibitors such as exemestane and formestane (Lentaron) are androgen-like compounds that bind irreversibly to the substrate-complex, causing permanent inactivation of the enzyme. This could potentially lead to prolonged estrogen deprivation even after the drug is cleared. These drugs are also known as aromatase inact...
