The deflection measurements made using Falling Weight Deflectometers (FWDs) are widely used in the back-calculation of pavement layer moduli. Pavement structural characteristics, changes temperature, and other related factors exert a significant effect on measurements. Therefore, three machine learning methods—Classification Regression Tree (CART), Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting Decision...

the extracardiac actions of calcium-channel belockers has little been studied.in fact,it has been demonstrated in a number of in viro studies,that calcium-channel belockers are involved in inflammation.here,we evaluated the dose-dependent Effects of verapamil and nifedipine on carrageenan-induced, acute inflammation in the rat paw compared to the anti-inflammatory activites of ibuprofen.the adu...

MicroRNAs have been implicated in ischemic AKI. However, the specific microRNA species that regulates ischemic kidney injury remains unidentified. Our previous microarray analysis revealed microRNA-489 induction in kidneys of mice subjected to renal ischemia-reperfusion. In this study, we verified the induction of microRNA-489 during ischemic AKI in mice and further examined the underlying mech...

• Comparison sort: O(n lg n) • Counting sort: O(n + u) = O(n + 2w) (= O(n) for w = lg n) • Radix sort: O(n · w lg n) (= O(n) for w = O(lg n)) • van Emde Boas: O(n lg w). For w = lg n, this is O(n lg lg n). This can be improved to O(n lg w lg n), making it better than the previous methods (Kirkpatrick and Reisch [7]). • Signature sort: O(n) for w = Ω(lg n). Combined with the previous result for ...

the objective of this study was to determine the polymorphism of bovine β-lactoglobulin (β-lg) gene and its association with milk production traits in iranian najdi cattle. blood samples were collected from 80 najdi cattle from the najdi cattle breeding station located in shoshtar, khuzestan. polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp) techniqus were used...

introduction low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (lg-ess) is a malignant intrauterine tumor that rarely presents with distant metastasis. simultaneous lung and cardiac metastases from lg-ess is also an extremely rare event. case presentation a 42-year-old woman presented with dyspnea and exercise intolerance. she had a history of hysterectomy and left salpingoophorectomy. she underwent second...

We give a parallel algorithm for computing all row minima in a totally monotone n = n matrix which is simpler and more work efficient than previous polylog-time Ž . Ž . algorithms. It runs in O lg n lg lg n time doing O n lg n work on a CRCW ' 2 Ž Ž . . Ž . PRAM, in O lg n lg lg n time doing O n lg n work on a CREW PRAM, and in ' Ž . Ž . O lg n lg n lg lg n time doing O n lg n lg lg n work on a...
