The expressions of MMP2, -7, -9, -13 and TIMP1, -2, -3 were examined in biopsies and cell lines of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) to determine the association between the expression profile and TNM-staging of the primary. The expressions of MMP2, -7, -9, -13 and TIMP1, -2, -3 were analyzed in 30 HNSCC biopsies, 7 HNSCC cell lines and 1 keratinocyte cell line using RT-PCR. Negati...

Rainfall and temperature variability analysis is important for researchers policy formulators in making critical decisions on water availability use communities. The Western Sahel, which comprises Mali considered as one of the vulnerable regions to climate change, also encountered challenges climatic shocks such flood drought. This research therefore sought investigate change effects hydrologic...

The primary physics goals of a high luminosity e+e− flavor factory are discussed, including the possibilities to perform detailed studies of the CKM mechanism of quark mixing, and constrain virtual Higgs and nonstandard model particle contributions to the dynamics of rare Bu,d,s decays. The large samples of D mesons and tau leptons produced at a flavor factory will result in improved sensitivit...

Computing similarity between short microblogs is an important step in microblog recommendation. In this paper, we investigate a topic based approach and a WordNet based approach to estimate similarity scores between microblogs and recommend top related ones to users. Empirical study is conducted to compare their recommendation effectiveness using two evaluation measures. The results show that t...

This study was an analytical research across 84 meteorological stations, performed in the Mighan sub-basin over a fifty-year study period (1961–2011).This research seeks to answer the basic question of how declining streamflow, increasing temperatures, and fluctuation in precipitation have impacted water resource allocation in the Mighan sub-basin. The research method is analytical based on Man...

This study was carried out to analyse the trend analysis of long-term annual and seasonal rainfall pattern in Telangana state, India. For this monthly data state from January 1982 December 2021 collected NASA power website (https://power.Iarc.nasa.gov). The linear regression line non-parametric tests, such as Mann-Kendall test, Modified-Mann Kendall test Innovative were used understand present ...

This chapter concerns rank tests for independence of two random variables. A form of locally most powerful test against particular alternative is derived and the most often used variants of this test are mentioned, namely the test of van der Waerden type, Spearman rank correlation coefficient, the quadrant test and the Kendall rank correlation coefficient, a member of non-linear rank statistics...

OBJECTIVE To compare Brazilian and international criteria for assessing the nutritional status of schoolchildren. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study that enrolled 160 schoolchildren from a public school in the city of Rio de Janeiro, 91 boys and 69 girls, aged 7 to 9 full years. Body mass index (BMI) for sex and age was used to diagnose underweight, healthy weight and overweight, accord...
