The specific targets of DOTS detailed in the updated Global Plan (2011 2015) are to achieve a case detection rate (CDR) of 84% (for all cases and smear-positive cases specifically) and a treatment success rate (TSR) of 87% by 2015 [ 6].
No method achieved a case-finding accuracy of more than 60% according to the PPVs.
Through these rigorous techniques we are confident in achieving a high case ascertainment level.
In this paper, we give a simple, complete, and practical Four-Russians algorithm for the basic RNA-folding problem, achieving a worst-case time-bound of O(n/log(n)).
In this paper, we give a simple, complete and practical Four-Russians algorithm for the basic RNA-folding problem, achieving a worst-case time reduction from O(n) to O(n/ log(n)).
A national school-based helminth control program run by the Ministry of Health in Uganda achieved a cost per case of anemia averted of US$3.199 [ 61].
They were not used in this analysis to achieve a better case to variable ratio in the multivariate analysis.
In either case, achieving a complete survey of all possible, relevant behaviours is hardly possible using a traditional mathematical analysis where analytical investigations are combined with intuition-based simulations and global or individual parameter fits to data.
The agent resulted in ∼25% of cases achieving a positive response.
By using a multimodal approach including preoperative functional mapping, IOM, and awake craniotomy in some cases, achieving a high extent of resection at an acceptable rate of postoperative neurological deterioration is possible.
A concentration about 10 times higher than that measured in maize pollen was used to achieve a worst-case exposure scenario and to add a safety margin and thus increase the certainty of the hazard assessment [4], [5].
