Class imbalance problems have drawn increasing interest lately because of its classification trouble caused by imbalanced class deliveries and poor prediction performance for minority class. This problem is particularly common in preparation and can be detected in various disciplines including fraud detection, anomaly detection, oil spillage detection, medical diagnosis, facial recognition. Man...

The question of exactly how science is commercialized is an important one. While the social structures of “science” and “technology” are distinctive, recent work suggests that scientific and technological ideas in fact co-evolve. This paper addresses the dynamics of such co-evolution: are scientific networks deeply co-mingled with networks through which technology is created and if so how? It d...

OBJECTIVE To know and understand the perspectives of women on the quality of maternal health services provided at their health facility (HF) and to incite community self-propelled problem identification and way forward. METHODS A qualitative action- oriented research was conducted in a rural setting in Tanzania from 2011 to 2014. Twenty In-Depth Interviews (IDIs) and two Focus Group Discussio...

The recent spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 from Southeast Asia into Europe and Africa emphasizes the need to better understand the mechanisms by which the disease is spread. Current wildlife surveillance has been limited to a combination of targeted sampling, opportunistic sampling, and recovery of dead wildlife. Recent interest in avian influenzas provides an opportunit...

The mosaicism in aortic endothelium of mouse aggregation chimaeras is demonstrated using the lectin Dolichos biflorus agglutinin as a strain-specific marker. The general fragmentary appearance and considerable size range of patches suggests that endothelial cells do not proliferate in a highly coherent manner. The developmental significance of the observed patterns is investigated by means of a...

Forest stand structure can be described through structural parameters as well using indices. However, to date, there is still much uncertainty regarding how indices and are intercorrelated. The analysis of correlation guide their selection in research applications forest management, avoiding redundancies loss time during data collection. In this study, a sample stands belonging three types the ...

Abstract In this study, Sn-doped 10HfO 2 –10Al O 3 –80SiO glasses were prepared using a xenon imaging furnace and their physical, optical, scintillation properties investigated. At the composition ratio, specimens did not completely vitrify, they crystallized that contained nanocrystals of c-HfO . Raman spectra show absorption bands due to Si–O–Hf bonds, band clearly indicated an effective mole...

Autonomic nerves distribute by a variety of methods. They are recognized as components of all spinal and some cranial nerves, but they also have a strong tendency to exhibit a hitch-hiker relationship to arteries and to other nerves. The perivascular plexuses of the head and neck, and of the thorax and abdomen, are especially typical of peripheral sympathetic distribution. In the parasympatheti...
