a 33-year-old female-a known case of behcet's disease- was admitted to the hospital due to fever, dyspnea and hemoptysis. one week before admission, she had developed right leg swelling. the history suggested either deep vein thrombosis (dvt) and pulmonary emboli or pulmonary artery vasculitis. diagnostic tests were requested and the necessary treatment was started accordingly

developed technology, has enabled sophisticated computer software named as “electronic agent” initiate and complete transactions without human intervention. having considered the notion of electronic agents, this paper is going to consider their legal nature and analyze treatments taken by writers, international instruments, national laws and legal procedures on electronic agents. finally this ...

nowadays, groundwater resources play a vital role as a source of drinking water in arid and semiarid regions and forecasting of pollutants content in these resources is very important. therefore, this study aimed to compare two soft computing methods for modeling cd, pb and zn concentration in groundwater resources of asadabad plain, western iran. the relative accuracy of several soft computing...

this paper reports on the use of artificial neural networks (ann) and partial least squareregression (pls) combined with nir spectroscopy (900-1700 nm) to design calibration models for thedetermination of sugar content in sugar beet. in this study a total of 80 samples were used as the calibration set,whereas 40 samples were used for prediction. three pre-processing methods, including multiplic...

In this paper, the so-called “back and forth error compensation correction (BFECC)” methodology is utilized to improve solvers developed for advection equation. Strict obedience “discrete maximum principle” enforced by incorporating a gradient-based limiter into BFECC algorithm. The accuracy of algorithm in capturing steep-fronts hyperbolic scalar-transport problems improved introducing control...

A system for diagnosing troubles encountered in large scale industrial refrigeration units with screw compressors, is presented by introducing the concept "probable state" of a component. The diagnosis process is implemented by examining the expert methods of trouble-shooting, accordingly generating the abstract representations of the units. The proposed system is readily utilized and tested, s...

an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using a homologous combination of antiserum raised against testosterone-3-0-carboxymethyloxime-bovine serum albumin (t-3-0-cmo-bsa ) and penicillinase-labelled t-3-0-cmo was developed. this assay was utilized to measure testosterone in serum samples of male and female subjects. the sensitivity of the assay is 50pg/well and the antibody developed crossreacted...
