Stochastic modeling of soil water fluxes in the absence of measured hydraulic parameters requires a knowledge of the expected istribution of the hydraulic parameters in different soil types. Predictive relationships describing the hydraulic parameter distributions must be developed based on the common descriptors of the physical properties of soils (e.g., texture, structure, particle size distr...

This paper presents a novel framework for garment grading. In CG, an extensive amount of study has been done to clothe human characters, but little attention has been taken to the grading problem itself. For the development of a grading technique, we got the insight from the process of drawing the pattern-making draft (sloper) in the clothing field. Noting that the draft can be completely deter...

The aim of this study was to show the possibility of the classification of structural timber (European spruce) into strength class C35 according to EN 338 by using combined visual and machine strength grading techniques. Three different visual machine strength grading combinations are devised for allocating sawn timber into strength class C35. They are composed on the one hand of the visual gra...

39 S oil hydraulic parameters are essential input to most hydrologic and climatic models (Mohanty et al., 2002; Mohanty and Zhu, 2007). Th ey are used to defi ne the hydraulic characteristics of the soil vital in modeling soil moisture and fl ux in the unsaturated zone near the land–atmosphere boundary. At the scale of model applications, it is very important to defi ne the appropriate paramete...

This paper denouements the study of operating parameters of a hydraulic transmission system with and without the application of hydraulic accumulator. In this respect, the hydraulic system, designed in the open circuit mode, consists of the fixed displacement hydraulic pump which gives pressured fluid to the hydro-motor and charges the accumulator as well. The load on the motor is controlled hy...

Grading of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has prognostic significance, and there is recent consensus by the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) that for clear cell and papillary RCC, grading should primarily be based on nucleolar prominence. Microscopic tumor necrosis also predicts outcome independent of tumor grading. This study was undertaken to assess whether the incorporation o...

This study presents and tests the clinical validity of a hemodynamic grading system that depends on noninvasive transcranial Doppler ultrasonographic parameters. The suggested transcranial Doppler-based grading system was compared with the Spetzler-Martin anatomic grading for prognosticative validity and clinical dependability. We concluded the following: (1) The pulsatility index was shown to ...

Histological grading is a good parameter to stratify tumors according to their biological aggressiveness. The Elston and Ellis grading method in humans, invasive ductal breast carcinomas and other invasive tumors are routinely used. The aims of this study were classification of mammary gland tumors and also application of a human grading method in canine mammary carcinoma. The samples included ...
