BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke. However, controversy exists with regard to the impact of DM on prognosis after ischemic stroke in the Chinese population. We investigated the associations between DM and death, dependency, and stroke recurrence in patients after ischemic stroke onset in a nationwide, prospective registry, the China ...

This paper examines relationship between Range to Standard deviation ratio (R/S ratio) and the profitability of a trading rule using stock prices of Indian market. The R/S ratios are expected to detect long-term dependencies in a time series. If dependencies are found, the dependency can be used to develop strategies for profitable trades. The larger the R/S ratio, the stronger is the trend and...

In this study biomass acclimation in a side stream partial nitrification sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was performed under optimum conditions (T 30ºC, SRT 9± 1 days and hydraulic retention time (HRT) 1.2 day). Excess sludge for solids retention time (SRT) regulation was added to another batch reactor (main stream) which performed under different conditions for partial nitrification evaluation ...

Primary data is collected from 3320 households where 2520 households belonged to the urban areas and 800 households belonged to the rural areas. Computations are carried out using both OLS a...

the phenomena of extensive air shower (eas) are produced by the collision of primary cosmic rays (cr) with energy more than ev with the atmospheric molecules. as a result the electron and muon components (cascades) of eas develop through the air.  the study of such cascades gives important information about the primary cr mass composition as well as its astrophysical origin models. one of the e...

Polygynous marriage is generally more beneficial for men than it is for women, although women may choose to marry an already-married man if he is the best alternative available. We use the theory of biological markets to predict that the likelihood of a man marrying polygynously will be a function of the level of resources that he has, the local sex ratio, and the resources that other men in th...

This paper presents the results of an experimental study dealing with the influence of water/cement (w/c) ratio and curing temperature on the autogenous deformations and self-induced stresses in early-age concrete. Two concrete mixes, w/c ratio 0.33 and 0.37, were cured isothermally at 10, 20, 30 and 40°C. The linear deformations of a free specimen and the self-induced stresses of a fully restr...
