in this study, some external morphometric characters viz. carapace width (cw) and length (cl), chelar propodus width (chw) and length (chl) and abdominal width (aw) and also body weight (bw) of the blue swimming crab, portunus pelagicus (linnaeus, 1758), were examined. relative growth and regression slope compared among these parameters between 151 males and 158 females. specimens were collecte...

background: psychiatric illnesses are an important group of co‑morbidities that can occur among patients with non‑communicable diseases (ncds). both these chronic conditions have an important implication in terms of quality of life, general well-being and cost of treatment and general longevity of the patient. the objectives of our study were to assess the burden of psychiatric co‑morbidities a...

We consider the problem of variable group selection for least squares regression, namely, that of selecting groups of variables for best regression performance, leveraging and adhering to a natural grouping structure within the explanatory variables. We show that this problem can be efficiently addressed by using a certain greedy style algorithm. More precisely, we propose the Group Orthogonal ...

The authors reviewed the fine-needle aspiration biopsy smears from 62 subjects with proven fibroadenoma, 60 subjects with proven ductal carcinoma, and 42 subjects with proven fibrocystic disease. All smears were coded as to the presence or absence of the following variables: epithelial cells, stroma, honeycomb sheets, antler horn clusters, naked nuclei, nucleoli, marked cellularity, foam cells,...

security has two dimensions of subjective (security feeling) and objective. there are preconditions for security feeling in society that one of the preconditions, the existence of security in the society. these levels are linked together and the interaction between these two levels of objective and subjective that security in the society is achieved.therefore, in this article we have tried to e...

background: the incidence of ulcerative colitis (uc) is rising in populations with western-style diet, rich in fat and protein, and low in fruits and vegetables. in the present study, we aimed to evaluate the association between dietary protein intakes and the risk of developing incident uc.   methods : sixty two cases of uc and 124 controls were studied using country-specific food frequency qu...
