Hyperglycemia in pregnancy (HIP) is a high-glycemic state that occurs during pregnancy, and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) the major cause of it. Studies reveal GDM has long-term adverse impacts on mothers offspring, such as maternal type 2 diabetes, premature birth stillbirth newborns, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders adult offspring. In recent years, studies transcription leve...

background the responsiveness of a health system is considered to be an intrinsic goal of  health systems and an essential aspect in performance assessment. numerous studies have analysed health system responsiveness and related concepts, especially across different countries and health systems. however, fewer studies have applied the concept for the evaluation of specific healthcare delivery s...

the present study is an attempt towards remodeling cost, revenue and profit relationship within the network process. the previous models of data envelopment analysis (dea) have been too general in their scope and focused on the input and the output within a black box system, therefore they have not been able to measure various phases simultaneously within a network system. by using these models...

In this paper, we propose a method to automatically discover valuable keyphrases in Japanese and link these keyphrases to related Chinese Wikipedia pages. The method that we propose has four stages. Firstly, we extract nouns from a Japanese document using a morphological analyzer and extract the candidates of keyphrases using a method called Top Consecutive Nouns Cohesion (TCNC) [1]. Then, we j...

Prüfer transformation is a useful tool for study of second-order ordinary differential equations. There are many possible extensions of the original Prüfer transformation. We focus on a transformation suitable for study of boundary value problems for the p-Laplacian in the resonant case. The purpose of this paper is to establish its basic properties in deep detail.

The PebbleBox and the CrumbleBag are examples of a granular interaction paradigm, in which the manipulation of physical grains of arbitrary material becomes the basis for interacting with granular sound synthesis models. The sounds made by the grains as they are manipulated are analysed, and parameters such as grain rate, grain amplitude and grain density are extracted. These parameters are the...

Two experiments explored the relationship between familiarity, similarity, and attraction. In the first experiment, subjects viewed photographs of faces at various exposure frequencies and then rated them for likeableness and similarity. Familiar people were regarded by the subjects as both more likeable and more similar to themselves. The effects of familiarity on perceived similarity were pri...
