Longitudinal changes in clinical symptoms and signs in children with confirmed, unconfirmed, and unlikely pulmonary tuberculosis
… of intrathoracic TB to differentiate those with unconfirmed PTB from those with other lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs). There is, however, limited data on the expected pattern and timing of resolution of symptoms and signs, and whether this does indeed differ between those with PTB and …

Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra and mycobacterial culture in routine clinical practice at a Tertiary Paediatric Hospital
… features of children with confirmed and unconfirmed PTB, reviewed criteria for microbiologically unconfirmed PTB, and assessed incremental microbiological yield on second and third Ultra and/or mycobacterial culture results in routine clinical care at a tertiary paediatric hospital. …

Using Species Distribution Modeling to Assess Illegal Trade Risk: A Case Study of US Imports of Endangered Mahogany (Swietenia spp.)
… pair was classified as confirmed or unconfirmed based on the range country lists, and suitable or unsuitable based on the model output. By examining the unconfirmed, but climatically suitable, species-country pairs, I identified new range countries for Swietenia species that were …

Performance of host blood transcriptomic signatures for TB diagnosis and monitoring TB treatment
… highest in children with confirmed, relative to unconfirmed and unlikely TB. Baseline scores were also higher among children with disease classified as more severe on chest x-ray. Scores declined progressively during TB treatment in the confirmed and unconfirmed TB groups; no changes in scores …

Aetiology of pleural effusions diagnosed by routine culture and molecular techniques in children living in a high tuberculosis-endemic setting
… by PCR. PCR reduced the number of children with unconfirmed aetiologies from 48 to 32. Characteristics of children with no pathogen most resembled those with TB. Pleural fluid lactate dehydrogenase ≥1716 U/L best discriminated bacterial pleural effusion from other aetiologies (sensitivity of 86%; …

A Possible Ehecatl Figure from West Mexico
… Mesoamerican deity system that is previously unconfirmed in Preclassic Colima. While West Mexican sculpture was once considered merely illustrative of everyday activities, this thesis concludes that the MFAH Colima Dancer and similar figures evince highly evolved communal religious practices. …

Wilde's Final Act
… conventions of absent centers, missing moments, unconfirmed mothers, and unconditional redemption are each examined and analyzed with each of the three texts and put into direct conversation. Ultimately, this thesis proves that <em>De Profundis </em>was a great playwright’s final attempt at …

Requirement of ßDELSEED-Motif of <em>Escherichia coli</em> F<sub>1</sub>F<sub>O</sub> ATP Synthase in Antimicrobial Peptide Binding.
… <em>E. coli</em> ATP synthase. The proposed but unconfirmed site of inhibition is βDELSEED-motif formed by the residues 380-386, located at the interface of α/β subunit of ATP synthase. This project was a mutagenic analysis of βDELSEED-motif residues to understand the binding mechanism and mode …

Investigation into the potential of industrial cogeneration in South Africa
… capacity can be realised by 2020. This figure is unconfirmed and the sources of this proposed cogenerationdevelopment have not been scrutinized. These research gaps must be explored if SA is to realise itscogeneration potential. This research seeks to investigate the potential for cogeneration in …

Newspaper coverage of cavalry raiders during the American Civil War
… the many different sets of facts received, unconfirmed rumors and discrepancies being widely reported, and the inability, many times, to see these raids in the larger picture of the war.

Darwinian humility : epistemological applications of evolutionary science
… we must justify the assumption that certain unconfirmed evolutionary hypotheses are correct. The ultimate hope is to give epistemology a Darwinian update and, in consequence, human knowledge its proper place in nature.

Ultrasonic Data Steganography
… there are already some suspected, but unconfirmed planned systems as well security incidents using this technology. Finally, a short series of semi-formal (in a scientific sense) experiments conducted to provide firsthand accounts and results of the ultrasonic data transmission …

Characterization and reconstitution of enzymes and pathways in the biosynthetic production of nitroaromatic compounds
… acid, however positive hits are unconfirmed. Based on the bioinformatics searches for AurF analogs, the Mangotoxin gene cluster from Pseudomonas syringae was identified as possibly making a nitroaromatic product. Isolation and identification of this cluster’s gene product was …

Right Hemisphere Activation to Rotary Stress in High and Low Hostile Men
… Lateralized effects of skin conductance remain unconfirmed at this time. No group differences were found for either block of the dichotic listening task. Overall, results are interpreted to support a model of frontal region capacity limitation for regulation of stress, including vestibular …

The evolution of immune genes in tsetse flies (Glossina) and insights into tsetse-symbiont-trypanosome interactions
… were potentially identified, though these are unconfirmed. The evolutionary history of the attacin cluster remains undetermined, however concerted evolution likely impacts the evolution of AttA, while Def and TLRs are governed by strict Darwinian selection. A wild population sample of Glossina …

Verification of methodologies for estimating human exposure to high levels of mercury pollution in the environment
… to be most likely due to the uncertainties in unconfirmed questionnaire-based survey data, small sampling sizes and the surrogates used in the exposure models. When the reference dose (RfD) of 0.1 ?g/kg body weight/day was adopted as the acceptable dose for daily intake rate, there were …

Effect of Different Growth Conditions on Cell Growth Using Biphenyl as a Sole Carbon Source by the Bacteria Isolated from Soil Samples Collected from San Jacinto River, Texas
… metabolite. Annotation results revealed an unconfirmed dioxygenase gene in FR CSM SOY. However, GC-MS data shown the strain was unable to convert biphenyl into known degradation derivative. Moreover, FR CSM SOY strain does not possess any homolog of biphenyl dioxygenase genes such as bphA-C, …

A novel developmental rodent model to investigate the neural basis of episodic memory
… however this ontogeny in animals is so far unconfirmed due to a lack of suitable behavioral tests. The aim of this thesis was to develop a protocol suitable for testing the development of memory in juvenile rats, and to understand if rats show a similar ontogenic profile of memory as …
