Consideration of fiber configuration and the distance between light source or meter LTC specimen in previous studies is still limited. The incorporation plastic optical (POF) into concrete with configurations 5 ´ 6 grids investigated terms short wall panel application to study its intensity strength properties. light-transmitting (LTC) 300 mm wide 400 high 75 thick cast using self-compacting (S...

Serial Concatenated Convolutional Codes (SCCC) also named Turbo Codes, obtained with different constituent trellis codes are presented with a simple and quick mode of data interleaving. A SCC code has higher error-correction performances than the constituent codes. Optimal convolutional codes are deduced for SCCC. A comparison of the SCCC performances is made using weight enumerating functions.

The objective of this study was to determine associations between body weight (BW) and body condition score (BCS) variables indicating a more severe negative energy balance in early lactation and events of somatic cell counts (SCC) >250,000 cells/mL and SCC >400,000 cells/mL in dairy cows. We studied lactations from 634 primiparous and 1,086 multiparous Israeli Holstein dairy cows originating f...

Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the renal pelvis is rare because SCC represents only 0.5% to 0.8% of malignant renal tumors. Chronic irritation, inflammation, and infection induce squamous metaplasia of the renal collecting system, which may progress to dysplasia and carcinoma in most of affected individuals. Nephrolithiasis, especially formation of staghorn calculi, is the most common...

Self Compacting concrete (SCC) is a flowing concrete that is able to consolidate under its own weight without any need for vibration. The high fluid nature of SCC makes it suitable for placing it in difficult conditions and in sections with congested reinforcement. Use of SCC overcomes the difficulties pertaining to casting conditions and reduces the man power required. Self compacting concrete...

Six farms using different types of dried manure solid (DMS) strategies, including a farm that had side-by-side pens using sand and DMS, participated in a study to assess the impact on herd health of using DMS as bedding on dairy farms in the Northeast. Samples of unused and used bedding were taken over the course of a year and analyzed for bacterial content and physical properties. Mastitis and...

Purpose: To investigate the effect of ursolic acid florotriazole (UFT), on SCC-15 oral squamous cancer cells. Methods: Confocal laser microscope with a 490 nm argon laser was used to record the fluorescence of the cells and capture the images. Flow cytometry and Cell Quest program were used to analyze the DNA content of the stained cells. Apoptosis was characterized by YO-PRO-1 staining. Result...

The bimodal and unimodal seasonal cycles of surface Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration (SCC) are ubiquitous in the mid-latitude oceans. nutrient light regarded as two key factors affecting such differences. However, our quantitative knowledge distinguishing these is still inadequate regions where they limit primary productivity simultaneously. It hinders full understanding underlying mechanism...
