Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is an essential tool for modern diabetes therapy. Randomized controlled studies have provided evidence that hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) results can be improved in patients with type 1 diabetes with elevated baseline HbA1c when using CGM frequently enough and that the frequency and duration of hypoglycemic events can be reduced in patients with satisfactory baselin...

An increasing number of marine structures are utilizing composite materials. Major structure and components can be built lighter and corrosion-resistant using composite construction. The recreational boating industry has long recognized this and now commercial ferries are increasingly realizing fuel savings through weight reduction. The US Navy’s DDG-1000 topside structure and LPD-17 advanced e...

Field studies have demonstrated that it is possible to evaluate the state of many shipboard systems by analyzing the power drawn by electromechanical actuators (Cox et al. 2006; Cox et al. 2007; DeNucci et al. 2005; Mitchell et al. 2006; Ramsey et al. 2005). One device that can perform such an analysis is the non-intrusive load monitor (NILM). This paper focuses on specific field studies conduc...

The prime focus of ethanol production from corn is to replace the imported oil used in American vehicles, without expending more fossil energy in ethanol production than is produced as ethanol energy. In a thorough and up-to-date evaluation of all the fossil energy costs of ethanol production from corn, every step in the production and conversion process must be included. In this study, 14 ener...

Abstract Study question In men with Raised Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI), Would advance sperm preparation techniques at Intra-Cytoplasmic Injection (ICSI) alter embryo euploidy status? Summary answer raised DFI, use of selection are safe and do not appear to ploidy status the embryos What is known already MACS (Magnetic Activated Cell Sorting), Microfluidic Sorting (MF), surgically retrie...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding corn modifi ed wet distillers grain plus solubles (MWDGS) co-ensiled with directcut forage (DC) to beef steers, on feedlot performance and total tract digestibility. In Exp. 1, sixty-four crossbred Angus steers (n = 64; 329 ± 43 kg) were blocked by BW and randomly assigned to 1 of 4 dietary treatments: 1) corn-silage and soybean ...

Increasing environmental temperatures due to climate change adversely affect livestock welfare and health. Moreover, increase the distribution survival of parasites infectious agents. Livestock diseases that cause significant economic losses are a worldwide concern. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is an ideal marker gene candidate, its critical role it plays in initiating immune response against pa...

This manuscript introduces a new concept of statistical depth function: the compositional D-depth. It is first data developed exclusively for text data, in particular, those vectorized according to frequency-based criterion, such as tf-idf (term frequency–inverse document frequency) statistic, which results most vector entries taking value zero. The proposed consists considering inverse discret...
