The need for a satisfactory test for pregnancy has long been felt, and numerous tests have been evolved for this purpose. A few of these may be mentioned. The Aschheim-Zondek (1928) test or its modifications depend on the demonstration of the anterior-pituitary-like hormone in the urine of pregnant women. Though this is widely accepted as the most accurate and certain test, it has several disad...

The rapid expansion of the Internet has resulted not only in the ever-growing amount of data stored therein, but also in the burgeoning complexity of the concepts and phenomena pertaining to that data. This issue has been vividly compared by the renowned statistician J.F. Friedman (Friedman, 1997) of Stanford University to the advances in human mobility from the period of walking afoot to the e...

introduction : this study was carried out to investigate the effect of 808nm diode laser irradiation on dentinal tubules of root canal wall. materials and methods: twelve single-rooted teeth were used. after cleaning and shaping with rotary instruments by the crown down technique, the smear layer was removed by alternating irrigation with edta and sodium hypochlorite. the teeth were then random...

The aim of this cadaveric study was to assess the relative safety of posterior ankle arthroscopy portal sites regarding their distance from the tibial and sural nerves. We dissected 20 embalmed cadaveric lower limbs, carefully exposed the nerves, preserving their original position, and established the entry points of five posterior ankle portals using pins. We measured distances with a digital ...

Image thresholding is well accepted and one of the most imperative practices to accomplish image segmentation. This has been widely studied over the past few decades. However, as the multi-level thresholding computationally takes more time when level increases, hence, in this article, quantum mechanism is used to propose six different quantum inspired meta-heuristic methods for performing multi...

R. Templeton, B. McGrath, K. Webster, W. Simpson South Manchester University Hospital Trust, Intensive Care Unit, Manchester, UK INTRODUCTION. Displacement of tracheostomy tubes causes significant patient harm. Fibreoptic endoscopy can assess the position of a tracheostomy tube within the trachea both in elective and emergency situations and can reduce the incidence of patient harm. Simulation ...

We introduce a new statistical quantity the energy to test whether two samples originate from the same distributions. The energy is a simple logarithmic function of the distances of the observations in the variate space. The distribution of the test statistic is determined by a resampling method. The power of the energy test in one dimension was studied for a variety of different test samples a...

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to investigate whether intravenous crotalphine produces significant sedation, as well physiological changes, in healthy standing horses. Six mares, aged 8 years and weighing 415kg underwent three different treatments a crossover design: TA (acepromazine: 50μg.kg-1), TC (crotalphine: 0.01μg.kg-1) TX (xylazine: 1000μg.kg-1), intravenously. At various time po...
