The document discusses viral load testing using NASBA technology. NASBA is a nucleic acid amplification technique used to measure the amount of virus in a patient's blood or body fluid sample. It has several benefits over PCR including being isothermal, having less risk of contamination, and allowing for multiplex detection. The document provides details on using NASBA to test viral load in HIV patients, including the sample extraction and amplification process. NASBA testing for viral load can help diagnose acute infections, evaluate virus treatment effectiveness, and determine patient prognosis.
Porter's generic strategies framework outlines three strategies for competitive advantage: cost leadership, differentiation, and focus. Cost leadership involves having the lowest production costs, differentiation means providing unique value, and focus means targeting a specific niche market. A company must choose between cost leadership or differentiation to achieve competitive advantage, as trying to be both risks being "stuck in the middle" without a clear strategy. However, some scholars argue successful companies like Toyota have combined strategies.
This document discusses the details of jeans construction including pockets, stitching, buttons, decoration, silhouette, and finishing. It was created by Pim Kramer for fashion education purposes and thanks fashion students Tammy and Minka for providing visual materials to aid in inspiration and education.
Sebastian Grady, President & COO at Rimini Street - How to Cut Oracle and SAP...Global Business Events

The document outlines fashion trends and themes for 2010, including:
1) Rural and natural influences like fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms in pleated or folded designs with cooler neutrals.
2) Fantasy, eccentric, and artistic styles inspired by nature, history, and art with voluminous, irregular textures.
3) Darker medieval and pre-industrial influences with original fabrics and simplistic styling.
This document provides information on the elemental cost analysis for a proposed 1 block apartment development with 32 floors and 1 basement in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. It includes floor plans and gross floor areas for each floor. Forms 1-3 present the elemental cost breakdown for items like substructure, superstructure, finishes, fittings and furnishings, services, and external works. The development will consist of a basement for car parking up to the 7th floor, recreational facilities on the 8th floor, and 294 apartment units from the 9th to 31st floors.
This document discusses the role of serology and rapid tests in tuberculosis diagnosis. It provides background on tuberculosis as a global health problem, with 22 high burden countries including Indonesia as the third highest. Current TB diagnosis relies on outdated methods like smear microscopy and culture that are slow and inaccurate. New tests are needed that are sensitive, specific, rapid, easy to use, and cost-effective. While serology tests have been proposed, WHO recommends against inaccurate tuberculosis tests as they could worsen the epidemic. The document explores developing a comprehensive antibody profile to define an active TB diagnostic using high-throughput proteome screening methods. It also notes the Xpert MTB/RIF test as a promising molecular point-of-care assay.

Das Ziel einer Direktmarketingkampagne ist es Kunden durch gezielte individuelle Ansprache von einem Produkt zu überzeugen und zusätzlichen Absatz zu generieren. Der Erfolg einer Kampagne lässt sich demnach nicht an der reinen Response Rate messen, sondern am unmittelbar durch das Mailing bedingten inkrementellen Zusatzeffekt, dem erzielten Uplift im Vergleich zwischen einer Mailing- und Kontrollgruppe. Es besteht folglich ein Unterschied zwischen Kunden die voraussichtlich kaufen, wenn sie eine Kampagne erhalten und Kunden die ausschließlich dann kaufen, wenn sie eine Kampagne erhalten. Uplift-Modeling ermöglicht es diesen Einfluss eines Mailings auf das individuelle Kundenverhalten zu prognostizieren und so gezielt die Kundengruppe zu identifizieren, bei denen ein Mailing einen stark positiven Effekt auf die Kaufentscheidung hat. Thomas Klein und Alexander Funkner präsentieren am Beispiel der Lufthansa Miles & More Credit Card wie mittels Uplift-Modeling Kosten sowie unnötige Kundenkontakte bei der Neukundenakquise reduziert und der Uplift von Direktmarketingkampagnen um bis zu Faktor 3 gesteigert werden konnten. Anhand der Fallstudie demonstrieren sie, welche methodischen Ansätze in der praktischen Anwendung erfolgreich getestet und implementiert wurden.
Shuri Castle served as the political and cultural center of the Ryukyu Kingdom from the 15th to 19th centuries. The stone walls were rounded rather than angular, reflecting Ryukyu's inclusive culture developed through trade. Women played an important role in prayer. Dragons, phoenixes, and other symbols reflected Chinese influences but took on new meanings. Traditional arts like Bingata dyeing and Ryukyu cuisine blended local, Chinese, and Japanese influences. Shuri Castle was destroyed in WWII but reconstructed to its former glory in 1992.
Buddhism was introduced to Japan in 538 CE. Over subsequent centuries, it gained prominence and influence but was initially limited to the elite. Various Buddhist sects like Zen and Jodo spread to Japan in the 12th century and reached a broader population. By the Edo period in the 17th-19th centuries, Buddhism and Shintoism had extensively blended in practices and worship sites. However, in the Meiji period starting in 1868, Buddhism faced repression as Shintoism was promoted as the national religion. Today, Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines remain prevalent across Japan, demonstrating the ongoing fusion of the two religions.

The document discusses the Thousand-Armed Kannon statue located at the Sanju Sangendo temple in Kyoto, Japan. It explains that the statue depicts Kannon with 1,000 arms based on a mathematical formula using the number of arms on smaller Kannon statues in the temple. Specifically, there are two Kannon statues with 20 arms each for a total of 40 arms, and when multiplied by the 25 worlds each arm can save, it equals 1,000 arms, representing the Thousand-Armed Kannon's ability to help many people.
This document discusses different types of Buddha statues found in Buddhism. It describes Nyorai as statues depicting Buddha after reaching enlightenment, Bosatsu as not yet fully enlightened, Myo-oh as wrathful deities that destroy evil, and Tembu as influenced by Hinduism. It then provides details about two specific statues - the Kotoku-In Nyorai statue known for its 656 curls symbolizing wisdom, and the Eleven-Faced Kannon at Hase Temple carved from one tree with symbolic meanings for its eleven faces, vase, and stick. The document conveys that Buddha statues are meant to give love.
Vincent Van Gogh was addicted to Ukiyo-e woodblock prints from Japan. Ukiyo-e were affordable prints that were popular in Japan and later exported to Europe. Van Gogh drew copies of several famous Ukiyo-e prints by Japanese artists like Hiroshige and Eisen Keisai. He also included Ukiyo-e prints in the backgrounds of some of his own portraits, showing his admiration for Japanese art.
Ukiyoe (wood-block printing popular among commers in Edo period <1603-1867ad> in Japan) incluenced Impressionist painter Claude Monet in France who was very productive from the late 19th centry to early 20th century. This presentation shows how much Monet loved Japan and how much Ukiyoe influenced him.
