The paper analyzes the representations of women’s health and disease associated with epidemic smallpox in Habsburg Monarchy during reign empress Maria Theresa, which is thematized Croatian writer Marija Jurić Zagorka’s novel cycle Grička vještica (The Witch Grič). Health are considered as gendered experiences and, accordingly, gender coding strategies investigated. considers role discourses inf...

High individuality causes laboratory reference ranges to be insensitive to changes in test results that are significant for the individual. We undertook a longitudinal study of variation in thyroid function tests in 16 healthy men with monthly sampling for 12 months using standard procedures. We measured serum T(4), T(3), free T(4) index, and TSH. All individuals had different variations of thy...

We consider a mechanical system of three ants on the floor, which move according to two independt rules: Rule A - forces velocity any given ant always point at neighboring ant, and B every be parallel line defined by other ants. observe that equips 6-dimensional configuration space with structure homogeneous (3,6) distribution, foliates this onto 5-dimensional leaves, each is equiped (2,3,5) di...

Wind power curve modeling is essential in the analysis and control of wind turbines (WTs), data preprocessing a critical step accurate modeling. As traditional methods do not sufficiently consider WT models, this paper proposes new cleaning method for In method, model-data hybrid-driven (MDHD) outlier detection algorithm constructed, an adaptive update rule major parameters designed based on mo...

it is well known that sugar beet is sensitive to salinity stress at the germination stage. three separate experiments were conducted to study the effects of salinity on seed germination, plant establishment, and yield of sugar beet genotypes for screening purposes. these included: (a) a laboratory study using four water salinity levels (with ec values < 0.1 as the control, 16, 20, and 24 ds m-1...

the study attempts to find out the impact of buyback announcement on share price. paired sample t-test is employed to compare share price before and after the buyback announcement. the analysis of variance is also used to find out whether there is any significant difference among industries in the price change due to buyback announcement. the study is carried out from 1st january 2005 to 31st d...

Typically two configurations are used for energy harvesting with different advantages: piezoelastic and piezomagnetoelastic. Best performance of the piezoelastic configuration is when the excitation frequency is close to the resonance frequency. If the input frequency slightly deviates from the natural frequency, the generated power is severely decreased. To tackle the problem, the piezomagneto...
