Abstract The rock uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is the basic parameter for support designs in underground engineering. In particular, UCS should be obtained rapidly engineering with complex geological conditions, such as soft rock, fracture areas, and high stress, to adjust excavation plan ensure construction safety. To solve problem of obtaining real-time at sites, a forecast idea propos...

Fly ash and granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) are major by-products of thermal and steel plants, respectively. These materials often cause disposal problems and environmental pollution. Detailed laboratory investigations were carried out on cement stabilized fly ash-(GBFS) mixes in order to find out its suitability for road embankments, and for base and sub-base courses of highway pavements....

Uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS) is a rare but lethal neoplasm with high metastasis and recurrence rate, and to date, no molecular classification of UCS has been defined to achieve targeted therapies. In this study, we identified two distinct molecular subtypes of UCS with distinct gene expression patterns and clinicopathologic characteristics. Subtype I UCS recapitulates low-grade UCS, in contrast...

Abstract Peat is a soil that has high compressibility property beside having low bearing capacity. Due to these problems, the peat not suitable for construction purposes. Coconut waste an example of agricultural waste. In context environmental sustainability, use coir in geotechnical applications desirable. This research was conducted study stabilization by using Coir Fibre Ash (CFA) partially ...

Abstract. This study investigated the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and split tensile of a mixture soil recycled ash natural fibers using two different methods, partial least squares (PLS) classification regression random forest (CRRF). The analyzed dataset 20 sets with five inputs outputs, importance input parameters was evaluated. performance PLS CRRF models assessed, it found that mode...

Some people show slower extinction of UCS expectancies than other people. Little is known about what predicts such delayed extinction. Extinction requires that people deduce the logical implication of corrective experiences challenging the previously learned CS-UCS contingency. "A strong habitual tendency to confirm beliefs" may therefore be a powerful mechanism immunising against refutation of...

background: considering the increasing rates of early hospital discharge and kernicterus in healthy full term newborns, timely identification of neonates at risk of severe hyperbilirubinemia is of great significance. the aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of umbilical cord serum (ucs) bilirubin level for subsequent hyperbilirubinemia. moreover, we compared the predictive ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to evaluate the ability and practice of spirometry, training of technicians, and spirometry features in primary care centers in Spain, evaluating those located in a rural environment against those in urban areas. METHODS An observational cross-sectional study was conducted in 2012 by a telephone survey in 970 primary health care centers in Spain. The center...

The major surface glycoprotein (MSG) of Pneumocystis carinii f. sp. carinii is a family of proteins encoded by a family of heterogeneous genes. Messenger RNAs encoding different MSGs each begin with the same 365-bp sequence, called the Upstream Conserved Sequence (UCS), which is in frame with the contiguous MSG sequence. The UCS contains several potential start sites for translation. To determi...

This paper explains the procedure and results of an experiment on the relationship between the unconfined compressive strength and percent weight loss due to freeze and thaw durability test of laboratory compacted soil-cement specimens. The tests were carried out on soil cement mixtures of 10 different soil types. It was shown that the percent weight loss due to freeze and thaw durability test ...
