A comparison of sexual risk behaviours and HIV seroprevalence among circumcised and uncircumcised men before and after implementation of the safe male circumcision programme in Uganda
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-01-05)Background: Although male circumcision reduces the heterosexual HIV transmission risk, its effect may be attenuated if circumcised men increase sexual risk behaviours (SRB) due to perceived low risk. In Uganda information ... -
Comparison of Solving Techniques for Non-linear Sparse Equations over Finite Fields with Application in Cryptanalysis
(Master thesis, 2008)The work on this thesis gives a summary of the Gluing/Agreeing techniques, as well as a reference implementation of this methods. Furthermore widely used SAT-solving techniques are explained and a short insight to the ... -
Comparison of the efficiency (flash point, freezing point, and viscosity test) of biodiesels from Sargassum sp.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Biodiesel, an alkyl ester compound produced through an alcoholysis process (transesterification) between triglycerides and methanol or ethanol with the help of alkaline catalysts into alkyl esters and glycerol, is an ... -
Comparison of the inter-item correlations of the Big Five Inventory-10 (BFI-10) between Western and non-Western contexts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The Big Five Inventory-10 (BFI-10; Rammstedt & John, 2007) is one of many short versions of personality inventories that measure the Big Five trait dimensions. Short versions of scales often present methodological challenges ... -
Comparison of three different prehospital wrapping methods for preventing hypothermia - a crossover study in humans
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-06-23)Background: Accidental hypothermia increases mortality and morbidity in trauma patients. Various methods for insulating and wrapping hypothermic patients are used worldwide. The aim of this study was to compare the thermal ... -
Comparison of Tuberculin Skin Test and QuantiFERON TB Gold In-tube Assay for the diagnosis of tuberculosis infection and disease in young children; study conducted as part of the development of a TB vaccine site in Southern India
(Master thesis, 2011-05-16)Background: An estimated 35% of tuberculosis (TB) cases worldwide are accounted by India and China alone. Pediatric TB accounts for 11% of TB cases worldwide. The most common type of TB in children is smear negative pulmonary ... -
Comparison of two adult mosquito sampling methods with human landing catches in south-central Ethiopia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-01-13)Background: The human landing catch (HLC) is the standard reference method for measuring human exposure to mosquito bites. However, HLC is labour-intensive, exposes collectors to infectious mosquito bites and is subjected ... -
Comparison of two different intraosseous access methods in a physician-staffed helicopter emergency medical service - a quality assurance study.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Intravenous access in critically ill and injured patients can be difficult or impossible in the field. Intraosseous access is a well-established alternative to achieve access to a noncollapsible vascular network. ... -
A Comparison of Two Numerical Models for Flow in Fractured Porous Media and the Impact of Fracture Intersection Cell Removal
(Master thesis, 2016-11-21)The simulation of flow and transport in fractured porous media is crucial to improve understanding and viability of geothermal energy. It is also challenging, due to complex geometries and large scale differences. In this ... -
Comparison of ultrasound vector flow imaging and CFD simulations with PIV measurements of flow in a left ventricular outflow trackt phantom - Implications for clinical use and in silico studies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In this study we have compared two modalities for flow quantification from measurement data; ultrasound (US) and shadow particle image velocimetry (PIV), and a flow simulation model using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). ... -
A Comparison of Vertex and Edge Partitioning Approaches for Parallel Maximal Matching
(Master thesis, 2013-12-09)This thesis will compare two ways of distributing data for parallel graph algorithms: vertex and edge partitioning, using a distributed memory system. Previous studies on the parallelization of graphs has often been focused ... -
Comparison of wind speed and wave height trends from twentieth-century models and satellite altimeters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The trends in marine 10-m wind speed U10 and significant wave height Hs found in two century-long reanalyses are compared against a model-only integration. Reanalyses show spurious trends due to the assimilation of an ... -
