Turbulence Interaction in a Highly Sataggered Cascade-Propulsor Configuration
… of the same flow using Rapid Distortion Theory (RDT) were performed. Measurements and predictions were compared. The comparison was oriented to check the aptness of RDT in describing this kind of flow. Since this study represents the initial steps of a major project, the RDT model was kept …

Effect of cell- and species-differences in the expression of drug metabolism enzymes on chemical-induced injury to the rat and human kidney
… renal proximal tubular (rPT) and distal tubular (rDT) cells differed in their susceptibility to trichloroethylene (Tri) and thiophene-containing compounds. These differences were caused in part by differences in the activity of cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450) between the two cell types. rPT …

Implementation and validation of model-based multi-threaded Java applications and Web services
… on the formal modelling system, RDT, the new work here covers: (i) a translator, RDTtoJava, used to automatically convert an RDT model into an executable multi-threaded Java application; (ii) the framework for developing an RDT model into a Java synchronous distributed application …

Differential Diffusion of Scalars in Sheared, Stratified Turbulence
… diffusion occurs, rapid distortion theory (RDT) is used. To determine where differential diffusion occurs in the target parameter space, laboratory experiments are employed. RDT confirmed previous explanations that differential diffusion occurs because of excess upgradient flux of the lower …

Factors Influencing Utilization of Malaria Rapid Diagnostic Tests in Chipata District's Rural, Peri-Urban and Urban Health Centers in Eastern Province
… utilization of Malaria Rapid Diagnostic Tests (MRDTs) at the district health centres A Cross-sectional research study was conducted in Chipata's 13 district health centres and were sampled proportionate to size using rotary technique. A sample of 42 health workers who routinely diagnosed malaria …

pH Change Following Smear Layer Removal and Final Rinse with 95% Ethyl Alcohol Using Calcium Hydroxide Medicament or BC Sealer
… were sectioned and remaining dentin thickness (RDT) was measured to correlate RDT and pH values. A multiple linear regression model was used to estimate the effects of medicament, ethanol, interaction of medicament and ethanol, as well as a continuous variable of RDT. Pairwise comparisons were …

Using multi-criteria decision analysis to assess private sector agents' preferences and priorities in stocking malaria rapid diagnostic test kits in Uganda
… prevent drug resistance. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are an important tool in resource-constrained settings, as they do not rely on costly lab equipment and specially trained personnel. In Uganda's private sector clinics and drug shops, which is where the majority of patients first seek care, …

Effect of Age on Visual Dependence for Spatial Orientation and Postural Control
… is commonly assessed by the Rod and Disc Test (RDT) and used throughout the thesis. Postural control was assessed by postural sway when standing on a force plate during static (one and two legged stance) and dynamic (stepping) tasks with eyes open (viewing static and rotating images) and …

Financial sustainability of public Higher Education Institutions in Uzbekistan
… CARs. Utilising resource dependence theory (RDT), this study empirically investigates whether or not increased institutional reliance on tuition fees as a main source of revenue has augmented the share of institutional expenditures dedicated to educational activities at public HEIs in …

Barriers to the adoption and optimal use of savings and health technologies
… a subsidized rapid diagnostic test for malaria (RDT) in tandem with subsidized ACTs. We find that ACT access increases by 60 percent in the presence of an ACT subsidy of 80 percent of more. Under the proposed 95-percent ACT subsidy, however, only 56 percent of those buying an ACT at the drug shop …

Large Eddy Simulation of Shear-Free Interaction of Homogeneous Turbulence with a Flat-Plate Cascade
… is motivated by rapid distortion theory (RDT) in which viscous effects are neglected, however, the present LES approach accounts for nonlinear and turbulence diffusion effects by a sub-grid scale model. We refer to this type of turbulence-blade interaction as shear-free interaction. To …

SEQUENTIAL METHODS FOR NON-PARAMETRIC HYPOTHESIS TESTING
… are based on the random distortion testing (RDT) framework. The RDT framework addresses the problem of testing whether a random signal observed in additive noise deviates by more than a specified tolerance from a fixed model. The data-based approach is non-parametric in the sense that the …
