Glucocorticoid-remediable aldosteronism (GRA) is a monogenic form of human hypertension that predisposes to cerebral hemorrhage. As a result of a chimeric gene duplication, aldosterone is ectopically synthesized in the cortisol-secreting zona fasciculata of the adrenal gland under the control of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH). Hypertension frequently has its onset during childhood and is usually re...

The present study investigated the effect of the addition of increasing levels of the natural antioxidants tea (TEA) and grape seed extracts (GRA) on the physiochemical and oxidative stability of refrigerated stored pig pâtés. In addition, a synthetic antioxidant and a control batch were used, thus a total of eight batches of liver pâté were prepared: CON, BHT, TEA (TEA50, TEA200 and TEA1000) a...

In the end of 1990’s, Dutch road infrastructure redesign programmer was launched for improving traffic safety. In the mean time the ongoing development in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) seems to offer viable alternatives. These strategies are not only to a large extent substitutes, but also partly complementary. A notorious problem is the ex-ante evaluation of these strategies. This ...

Let G = GLN or SLN as reductive linear algebraic group over a field k of characteristic p > 0. We prove several results that were previously established only when N ≤ 5 or p > 2 : Let G act rationally on a finitely generated commutative k-algebra A and let grA be the Grosshans graded ring. We show that the cohomology algebra H(G, grA) is finitely generated over k. If moreover A has a good filtr...

The optimization of parameters considering multiple performance characteristics of the EDM process for SS 304 using the GRA is presented. Performance characteristics including MRR, TWR, and OC are chosen to evaluate the machining effects. Those process parameters that are closely correlated with the selected performance characteristics in this study are the pulse-on time, current, and voltage. ...

To help the client to select a competent agent construction enterprise (ACE), this study aims to investigate the selection standards by using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and build an evaluation mathematical model with Grey Relational Analysis (GRA). According to the outputs of literature review, four orderly levels are established within the model, taking the consideration of va...

This article proposes a hybrid algorithm for spectrum allocation in cognitive radio networks based on the algorithms Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to improve the performance of the spectrum mobility of secondary users in cognitive radio networks. To calculate the level of performance of the proposed algorithm...
