Modeling the choice of a Multiple Comparison (MC) test is one important area of expertise that did not attract enough attention from researchers interested in the applications of Expert Systems (ES) technology. Probably this is so because of the highly demanding nature of the MCP selection problem. Modeling the MC procedure choice problem and building a prototype Expert System to help researche...

Abstract. Hyperplasia of mesangial cells (MC) is a frequent finding in glomerulonephritis. The control and function of cyclin D1, a regulator of cell cycle progression, in MC proliferation in vivo and in vitro were investigated. In a rat model of mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis, increases in the number of cyclin D1-positive MC nuclei were prominent on day 5 of the disease, preceding th...

This study evaluated the influence of different thermal (TC) and mechanical (MC) cycling protocols on microtensile bond strength (muTBS) to cervical dentin margins of Class II restorations using two total-etch (TE) adhesives and one self-etching (SE) primer. Class II slot cavities were prepared on the mesial surfaces of 168 bovine incisors and were divided into three groups according to the bon...

scarcely pharmaceutical applications. Recent investigations state its utility in dissolution enhancement of poorly soluble drugs, amorphous state stabilization and extended drug release. To broaden the applications of MC as a pharmaceutical excipient, need has been felt to test its antigenicity owing to its proteinic nature. In silico antigenicity screening has been carried out to enable its us...

Matrix completion(MC), which is to recover a data matrix from a sampling of its entries, arises in many applications. In this work, we consider find the solutions of the MC problems by solving a series of fixed rank problems. For the fixed rank problems, variables are divided into two parts naturally based on matrix factorization and a simple alternative direction method framework is proposed. ...

As fruit extract of bitter gourd is known to be anti-hyperglycemic and anti-oxidative in nature, in this study we have investigated the possible synergistic effects of Momordica charantia (MC) fruit extract and glibenclamide (GLB) in corticosteroid-induced hyperglycemic mice. Four different groups of animals were treated with dexamethasone alone for first 7 days and then with either MC extract,...

BACKGROUND There are no validated and reliable cough-specific instruments to assess health-related quality of life with respect to postoperative cough in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. We used the Leicester Cough Questionnaire in Mandarin-Chinese (LCQ-MC) and investigated the validity, reliability, and repeatability of this instrument. METHODS A total of 130 NSCLC patients (aver...

In Multivariate Linear Regression (MLR) models, multi-equation diagnostic tests pose some problems not encountered in the analysis of univariate models. In particular, test size distortions grow quickly as the number of cross-equation correlations increases. Despite the widespread recognition of this problem, finite sample multivariate specification tests are rare. In this paper, we propose a g...

In this paper we propose an algorithm based on higher order cumulants, for blind impulse response identification of frequency radio channels and downlink (MC−CDMA) system Equalization. In order to test its efficiency, we have compared with another algorithm proposed in the literature, for that we considered on theoretical channel as the Proakis’s ‘B’ channel and practical frequency selective fa...
