To determine the correct air/fuel mixture and the correct ignition timing, the PCM must know the atmospheric (BARO) pressure. If the PCM is to compensate for changes in altitude or weather, it must have an input signal that reflects these changes in atmospheric pressure.
Although DOTS has vastly improved the TB problem in Indonesia, the program needs to be effectively implemented in the eastern regions of Indonesia and Sumatra and needs to focus on fighting MDR TB and the TB/HIV co-infection problem.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially serious infectious disease that mainly affects your lungs. The bacteria that cause tuberculosis are spread from one person to another through tiny droplets released into the air via coughs and sneezes. Once rare in developed countries, tuberculosis infections began increasing in 1985, partly because of the emergence of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. HIV weakens a person's immune system so it can't fight the TB germs. In the United States, because of stronger control programs, tuberculosis began to decrease again in 1993, but remains a concern. Many strains of tuberculosis resist the drugs most used to treat the disease.
