Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are the nonlinear and adaptive information processing systems which are combined by numerous processing units, with the characteristics of self-adapting, self-organizing and realtime learning, and play an important in pattern recognition, machine learning and data mining. But we’ve encountered many problems, such as the selection of the structure and the parame...

To provide an efficient and reliable calibration method with reduced time cost increased accuracy, the angle of repose (AoR) in simulation is batch-processed based on Python GA-BP neural network used to improve prediction accuracy DEM parameters coated fertilizer particles. The single-factor test data were firstly interpolated obtain sufficient training samples, thus avoiding drawback that BP t...

the study was conducted to compare the effects of feeding acacia auriculata (aa), gmelina arborea (ga), albizia lebbeck (al) and butryospermum parkii (bp) tree forages as a sole feed for nigerian goats. four goats (yankasa) averaging one year and weighing 11.7±1.8 kg were used to measure the feed intake, digestibility and nitrogen balance. the leaves were offered ad libitum. dry matter (dm) int...

We analyzed the association between salt sensitivity in essential hypertension and 8 genetic polymorphisms in 6 genes of the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system. Seventy-one patients with essential hypertension were classified as salt sensitive or salt resistant by means of the 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (BP) change to high salt intake. The polymorphisms evaluated correspond to the foll...

During chronic metabolic acidosis, increased expression of renal glutaminase (GA) results from selective stabilization of the GA mRNA. This response is mediated by a direct repeat of an 8-base adenylate-uridylate (AU) sequence that binds zeta-crystallin and functions as a pH response element (pH-RE). A tetracycline-responsive promoter system was developed in LLC-PK(1)-F(+) cells to perform puls...
