We present a method of analysis of prism-film coupler spectroscopy based on the use of transfer matrix and genetic algorithm, which allows the simultaneous determination of refractive index, thickness, and optical losses of the measured layer.

We present a family of avoidable formulas with reversal whose avoidability index is unbounded. also complete the determination in 3-avoidance basis.

excellence synergic index (esi) is a new method for the excellence measurement. this technique is a causal method. esi method was developed for studying the relations and interaction of excellence criteria and organizational pathology. by “esi”, it is possible to measure the performance excellence of any service enterprises, to diagnosis organizational pathos and to propose problem-solving an...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study sought to determine the degree of agreement between asymmetries of neuropsychological functioning and nine methods of quantifying asymmetries of regional cerebral blood flow. METHODS The regional cerebral blood flow methods combined three markers of cerebral blood flow asymmetry (percent hemispheric difference, maximum percent probe-pair asymmetry, and number...

This paper presents some results of investigations for the characterization of waste excavated from closed landfills and of waste sampled during mechanical-biological pretreatment before disposal in landfill. The results reported are those obtained with the tests carried out for the assessment of the biological stability of the waste. Some of the considered tests, such as the ones for the deter...

––The performance of pavements depends to a large extent on the strength and stiffness of the subgrades. Subgrade strength (CBR) plays a major role in pavement design. Since determination of CBR value in field requires need of equipment and also time consuming alternatively one can be predict CBR value of subgrade in field from other soil support tests namely Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Index (DC...

AIM To evaluate the correlation between the levels of CD4, CD8 and CD25 cells and SLE disease in active phase and in remission. METHODS A total of 25 SLE patients, aged between 18-60 years, and fulfilling the ACR criteria with preferential Renal and CNS involvement were included in this study. Baseline CD4/CD8 and CD25 counts, lab parameters etc were conducted. Approximately at the end of 6 m...

Rheum palmatum, one of the source plants of the traditional Chinese medicine rhubarb, is anendemic and endangered species. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the chromosome number and karyotype of this species. Sectioning combined with micrography was used to analyze the karyotype. The following results were obtained: R. palmatum had a stable chromosome number 2n = 22; the basic numb...
