We present an expanded sample of 75 Milky Way Cepheids with Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry and Gaia EDR3 parallaxes which we use to recalibrate the extragalactic distance ladder refine determination constant. All HST observations were obtained same instrument (WFC3) filters (F555W, F814W, F160W) used for imaging in Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) hosts. The WFC3 spatial scanning mode mitigat...

UNLABELLED Adequate polymerization plays an important role on the longevity of the composite resin restorations. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of light-curing units, curing mode techniques and storage media on sorption, solubility and biaxial flexural strength (BFS) of a composite resin. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two hundred and forty specimens were made of one comp...

plant secondary materials play an important role in health and human nutrition. according to the importance of coneflower in the production of secondary materials and also the effect of nutrient on the amount of secondary materials, a pot experiment was conducted with a completely randomized design six treatments and three replications in sari university of agricultural sciences and natural res...

The University of Utah has been educating health professionals in medical informatics since 1964. Over the 35 years since the program's inception, 272 graduate students have studied in the department. Most students have been male (80 percent) and have come from the United States (75 percent). Students entering the program have had diverse educational backgrounds, most commonly in medicine, engi...

Urinary incontinence (UI) is the involuntary loss of urine.1 About 25 percent of young women,2 44 to to 57 percent of middle-aged and postmenopausal women,3 and about 75 percent of older women experience some involuntary urine loss.4 UI can affect women’s physical, psychological, and social well-being, and sometimes imposes significant lifestyle restrictions. The effects of UI range from slight...

The Pentium computer chip’s division algorithm relies on a table from which five entries were inadvertently omitted, with the result that 1738 single precision dividenddivisor pairs yield relative errors whose most significant bit is uniformly distributed from the 14th to the 23rd (least significant) bit. This corresponds to a rate of one error every 40 billion random single precision divisions...

To compare the effectiveness of home versus hospital intravenous (IV) antibiotic therapy for acute pulmonary exacerbations in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). A retrospective chart review was performed of 143 encounters for pulmonary exacerbations in 50 patients with CF. All encounters were categorized into two groups based on location of completion of antibiotic therapy: hospital group comp...

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the efficacy of family-based, behavioral weight control in the management of severe pediatric obesity. METHODS Participants were 192 children 8.0 to 12.0 years of age (mean +/- SD: 10.2 +/- 1.2 years). The average BMI percentile for age and gender was 99.18 (SD: 0.72). Families were assigned randomly to the intervention or usual care. Assessments were conducted at basel...

Hummingbird participated in the Finnish, Portuguese, Russian and French monolingual information retrieval tasks of the Cross-Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF) 2004: for the natural language queries, find all the relevant documents (with high precision) in the CLEF 2004 document sets. SearchServer’s experimental lexical stemmers significantly increased mean average precision for each of the 4 lan...
