Using the -norm to regularize the least-squares criterion, the batch least-absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) has well-documented merits for estimating sparse signals of interest emerging in various applications where observations adhere to parsimonious linear regression models. To cope with high complexity, increasing memory requirements, and lack of tracking capability that bat...

Background Acupuncture therapy plays a pivotal role in pain relief, and increasing evidence demonstrates that mast cells (MCs) may mediate acupuncture analgesia. The present study aims to investigate the role of MCs in acupuncture analgesia using c-kit gene mutant-induced MC-deficient rats. Materials and methods WsRC-Ws/Ws rats and their wild-type (WT) littermates (WsRC-+/+) were used. The nu...

Tropical cyclone (TC) Pam formed in the central south Pacific early March 2015. It reached a category 5 severity and made landfall or otherwise directly impacted several islands Vanuatu, causing widespread damage loss of life. then moved along southerly track between Fiji New Caledonia, generating wind-waves up to approximately 15 m, before exiting region around 15th. The resulting swell propag...

Using the l1-norm to regularize the least-squares criterion, the batch least-absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) has well-documented merits for estimating sparse signals of interest emerging in various applications where observations adhere to parsimonious linear regression models. To cope with high complexity, increasing memory requirements, and lack of tracking capability that b...

BACKGROUND The objective of the study was to investigate the physiological responses of construction workers labouring in thermally stressful environments in the UAE using Thermal Work Limit (TWL) as a method of environmental risk assessment. METHODS The study was undertaken in May 2006. Aural temperature, fluid intake, and urine specific gravity were recorded and continuous heart rate monito...

هدف: پیشرفت جوامع بالاخص کشورهای درحال توسعه تا حد زیادی در گرو گسترش نهادهای دانشگاهی است. هم‌چنین یکی از مهم‌ترین ویژگی‌های آموزشی، درهم‌تنیدگی ساختارهای آموزش و اشتغال واقع هر آموزشی باید بازدهی یا توجیه اقتصادی داشته باشد که عالی‌ترین نوع آن ایجاد متناسب با فراگیر بر این اساس پژوهش حاضر به بررسی وضعیت راهیابی دانشجویان فارغ‌التحصیلان کارشناسی ارشد دکتری رشته تکنولوژی بازار کار عوامل مؤثر نظ...
