Newer Versions of the Same Thing
I am interested in the role photographs play in the everyday life of contemporary society, and more specifically the people and memories that occupy those photographic images. In my work I attempt to take the specific moments caught in seemingly meaningless photographs and elevate their importance …

Comparing the reliability of older and newer transformer designs
… older designs was significantly different from newer designs, and whether the observed differences (if any) were the result of developments in design, manufacture and technology of transformers during different periods.

tapestry: towards a newer 'parchitecture, that which is 'pataphysical
How do we design for a local community while respecting heritage and touching their hearts? We know through our minds and we understand through our hearts. Consciousness touches minds and experience touches hearts. Since phenomenology is the study of both consciousness and experience, this …

Newer renal efficiency tests and their value in diagnosis and prognosis
It is probable that, at the present day, the function of no organ in the body is being investigated by so many methods . in the course of hospital treatment, as that of the kidney. The large number of methods used is the result of the fact that there is no general consensus of opinion as to any one …

Antecedents, nature and consequences of brand success in comparable newer universities.
… of brand success in the context of comparable newer universities. This research establishes a specific branding tool for higher education institutions (HEIs) to identify the factors that contribute to a successful HEI brand, and consequently assesses the implications of that success. This is of …

Novel and newer nucleic acid amplification tests for the diagnosis of TB
Background: Current tools for TB diagnosis have suboptimal accuracy, perform poorly in diagnosing extra-pulmonary TB, and are not point of care; hence results have a slow turn-around time. Objective: This project evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of the promising novel loop mediated isothermal …

Utility of newer technologies for the diagnosis of active and latent tuberculosis
Since the 1800s the tuberculin skin test (TST) has been the only available test for latent tuberculosis (LTBI). Recently, interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) have been developed which are based upon the responses of peripheral blood effector cells to M.tb-specific antigens [early secretory …

The Effect of Newer Methods of Processing on the Fatigue Strength of Cast Steel
The effect of hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and electrochemical machining (ECM) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cast steel, particularly the fatigue strength, has been investigated.<br/><br/>It is shown that microporosity in cast steel reduces the elongation, reduction in area, …

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF NEWER TECHNIQUES WITH THE OFFICIAL METHOD OF ASSAY OF SOLANACEOUS ALKALOIDS
The problems involved in quantitative analysis of the solanaceous alkaloids are many and varied, and much work has been done in an attempt to improve on the time-honored method at present appearing in most official compendia. Atropine, hyoscyamine and scopolamine* are all determined together by a …

The newer anticonvulsants in the treatment of generalised anxiety disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysis
… and timely to investigate this further. The newer anticonvulsants (felbamate, gabapentin, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, oxcarbazepine, pregabalin, tiagabine, topiramate and zonisamide) were investigated as they were considered to have a more benign side effect profile and fewer drug …

Utility of newer and novel technologies for the diagnosis and treatment-monitoring of tuberculosis using different biological fluids
Smear microscopy has a poor sensitivity, cannot identify drug resistance, and when followed up with culture tests it takes several weeks to obtain a result. Furthermore, sputum-scarce and smear negative tuberculosis is difficult to diagnose. The use of biological samples other than sputum such as …

Newer and novel sputum versus non-sputum-based tools for the diagnosis of active tuberculosis in different patient sub-populations
… performance of frontline tests, including the newer and more sensitive Xpert Ultra and urine LAM in key active TB patient sub-populations (wherein data are limited). The main themes and sub-populations included in my thesis are as follows: 1) Hospitalised HIV-Infected patients (patients in the …

Genetic gain X management interaction in soybean: seeding rate effect
… difference was observed between seeding rates in newer cultivars. The yield increase came from an increased number of pods and seeds plant¯¹, and improved harvest index for both seeding rates. Although the high seeding rate provided higher yields, the low seeding rate had a larger increase in …
