idiarrhea is known as the current and economic disease among new born calves. it is characterized by dehydration, loss of macro-minerals, weakness, recumbency and death. in calves diarrhea with different etiology, loss of liquid and electrolytes are the principle signs and the cause of death too. therefore, determination of the amounts of liquid and mainly electrolytes depletion is important in...

EVAL is a widely used yet frequently misunderstood SAS macro language function due to its seemingly simple form. However, when its actual argument is a complex macro expression interlaced with special characters, mixed arithmetic and logical operators, or macro quotation functions, its usage and result become elusive and problematic. In this paper, we aim to explore and demystify the intricate ...

The growing interest in scientometry stems from ethical concerns related to the proper evaluation of scientific contributions of an author working in a hard science. In the absence of a consensus, institutions may use arbitrary methods for evaluating scientists for employment and promotion. There are several indices in use that attempt to establish the most appropriate and suggestive position o...

A number of studies have indicated that cyclin E plays an important role in a variety of neoplastic processes. In our study we evaluated cyclin E1 expression and the possible prognostic value of this protein in neuroblastic tumors in children. Cyclin E1 expression was investigated by means of immunohistochemical analysis of 25 neuroblastic tumor tissue samples. We found a significant correlatio...

Taxus baccata is a native species to the Caspian forests and is considered as the identification of these forests by some resources. The aim of this study was to understand the ecological characteristics of T. baccata in order to find suitable areas for its plantation in the Pone Aram preserve of Golestan province. Therefore, Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) methods based on Analytical Hierarchy...

OBJECTIVES This study tested the correlation of QT and JT dispersion and other potentially useful electrocardiographic (ECG) indexes with dispersion of repolarization and recovery time. BACKGROUND Dispersion of ventricular repolarization is currently being assessed noninvasively from the surface ECG by means of QT and JT dispersion, although their correlation with dispersion of repolarization...

A survey of patients in a general surgical ward was undertaken to establish biochemical and anthropometric standards which could be used to detect malnourished patients in hospital. Results of biochemical and anthropometric tests of nutritional status were compared with assessment by a clinician and the quick nutritional index of Seltzer. Triceps skinfold thickness and serum albumin concentrati...

Described an instrument designed to quantify the extent of tissue severity damage following a minor childhood injury event. Few tools exist to allow objective assessment of injury and those which do exist are oriented toward major injuries necessitating medical intervention. The Minor Injury Severity Scale (MISS) does not require specialized medical experience to apply. It yields a 0-7 score wh...

This paper deals with the problem of blind separation of sources (BSS). In the literature, one can find many Independent Component Algorithms (ICA) to solve the BSS. To demonstrate the performances of their algorithms, researchers often use different methods or performance indexes depending on their source signals and their applications. Many methods and performance indexes can not be used to c...

This paper is the first in a series of papers that aim to address Islamist violent radicalization from different angles: nature context Spain; comparison between European, North American, and Indian radicalization; need refine territorial indexes within preventing relation other forms Europe. articles builds upon general theoretical framework established by author two previous works. These work...
