Nuclear level densities and spin cut-off factors have been deduced for nuclei in the mass region 24‹A‹63,from a microscopic theory, which includes nuclear pairing interaction. Single particle levels for both Seeger and Nilsson potentials were used in the calcdations. Level densities extracted from the theory are compared with their conesponding experimental values, It is found that the overall...

dxl of calcaneus is a portable method for bmd. this study determined a cut off point for dxl in osteoporosis diagnosis. in 510 healthy postmenopausal women, bmd of axial regions with dxa (dpx-md, ge,lunar corp, madison, wi) and heel with dxl (demeteck- sweden), measured. the agreement of two methods and cut off point for dxl in defining osteoporosis, obtained. dxa found osteoporosis in 34.3% an...

BACKGROUND Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a common serious complication of cirrhosis, and carries a high morbidity and mortality. Rapid diagnosis and prompt treatment of this condition may improve survival of such patients. OBJECTIVE To validate the diagnostic efficacy of a leukocyte esterase reagent (LER) strip test for rapid, bedside diagnosis of SBP. METHODS We prospectively ...

The measured performance of sub-micron Si:SiGe Schottky gated HFETs is compared to Si nMOSFETs. To allow an up-to-date comparison between Si and strained-Si FETs, the different device types have been studied in their respective technologies. RF performance as given by the cut-off and maximum oscillation frequency is given as a function of input power. The evaluation highlights the current immat...

In this paper we study output coding for multi-label prediction. For a multi-label output coding to be discriminative, it is important that codewords for different label vectors are significantly different from each other. In the meantime, unlike in traditional coding theory, codewords in output coding are to be predicted from the input, so it is also critical to have a predictable label encodi...

BACKGROUND Epidemiological and clinical studies, often including anthropometric measures, have established obesity as a major risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. Appropriate cut-off values for anthropometric parameters are necessary for prediction or decision purposes. The cut-off corresponding to the Youden-Index is often applied in epidemiology and biomedical literature for di...

The present study was conducted in order to investigate the effect of salicylic acid on growth, yield and macro-elements absorption of fennel in split-plot as base on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications in Tehran, Iran. Irrigation regime as main plot was undergone in 5 levels that included: I1: full irrigation, I2: cut off irrigation at stem elo...
