This rapid increase in the prevalence of obesity is not a matter of physiologic or metabolic alteration within people. Thousands of scientific papers are published each year indicating that pharmaceutical companies are working to find possible money making antiobesity agents. Increasing in the preva...

Follicle Stimulating Hormone and Anti-Mullerian Hormone Among Fertile and Infertile Women in Ile-ife, Nigeria: is There a Difference?

Background Reduced ovarian reserve has been known to predict poor ovarian response and poor success rates in infertile women undergoing assisted reproductive technology. Ovarian reserve also decreases with age but the rate of decline defers from a woman to another. The aim of this study was to detect any difference in ovarian reserve as measured by basal serum FSH and AMH between matched cohort...

Systems and Processes – Is There a Difference ?

Abstract At a time when we are more conscious than ever before of the interconnectedness of our actions we are still publishing international standards that ignore the advances made in system theory and process management since the 1950s. David Hoyle author of the ISO 9000 Quality Systems Handbook, shows that we are rooted in the past using standards that promote unhelpful models of systems and...

ISB-Tree: A New Indexing Scheme with Efficient Expected Behaviour

We present the interpolation search tree (ISB-tree), a new cache-aware indexing scheme that supports update operations (insertions and deletions) in O(1) worst-case (w.c.) block transfers and search operations in O(logB log n) expected block transfers, where B represents the disk block size and n denotes the number of stored elements. The expected search bound holds with high probability for a ...
