Digital mammography is considered to be the most effective imaging modality for early detection of breast cancer. Masses and microcalcifications are two early signs of breast cancer. For the detection of masses, segmentation of mammograms results in ROIs (regions of interest) which not only include masses but suspicious normal tissues as well, which lead to false positives. The problem is to re...

I think that there is a general understanding abroad in the land about the relationship between the ordinary principles of liability for copyright infringement and the limits on liability for online service providers (OSPs) in sections 512(c) and 512(d).

Prior research strongly implicates gastric acid and bile acids, two major components of the gastroesophageal refluxate, in the development of Barrett's esophagus and its pathogenesis. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), a hydrophilic bile acid, has been shown to protect esophageal cells against oxidative stress induced by cytotoxic bile acids. We conducted a pilot clinical study to evaluate the clinic...

Iron oxide is an important biological agent that has a key role in medical processes; however, the mechanism whereby it provides iron for human and animal cells and its biological uses remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the effects of oral iron oxide on serum iron status and compare the results with those of iron sulfate as a reference salt. Fifteen adult rabbits were divided into 3 groups o...

<span>Power loss and voltage magnitude fluctuations are two major issues in distribution networks that have drawn a lot of attention. Numerous strategies been put forward to provide remedies lessen the undesirable effects these issues. Combining approaches dealing with them simultaneously get more effective outcomes is essential. Therefore, this study hybridizes network reconfiguration ca...

There is increasing epidemiological evidence linking sub-optimal vitamin D status with overweight and obesity. Although increasing BMI and adiposity have also been negatively associated with the change in vitamin D status following supplementation, results have been equivocal. The aim of this randomised, placebo-controlled study was to investigate the associations between anthropometric measure...

The Large Hadron Collider, presently in construction at CERN, will be filled through a set of high performance proton accelerators providing the high brightness beam needed to reach the foreseen luminosity. Although this difficult project has top priority and uses most of the CERN resources, it is nevertheless time investigating improvements of the proton accelerator complex for physical cases ...

Pregnancy rate is low in artificial insemination with sexed semen compared to conventional semen. This situation poses a major problem for dairy farms. The aim of this study was determine the effects type on conception rate, calf sex and birth weight, stillbirth, pregnancy loss, postpartum maternal body weight (MBW) Holstein heifers inseminated (n = 229), 153). female male ratios were found be ...
