We give a construction of (n s)-surjective matrices with n columns over Zq using Abelian groups and additive s-bases. In particular we show that the minimum number of rows msq(n, n — s) in such a matrix is at most ssqn-s for all q, n and s.

The aim of this study is to investigate senior nursing students’ ethical sensitivity and fear Covid-19 during clinical practice. This a cross-sectional relational study. has been conducted in June 2021 with students at university the Central Anatolia region Turkey (n=95). Data have collected online via Google Forms by using Nursing Student Characteristics Form, Fear Scale (FCV-19S), Moral Sensi...

Memoryless scalar quantization (MSQ) is a common technique to quantize generalized linear samples of signals. The non-linear nature makes the analysis corresponding approximation error challenging, often resulting in use simplifying assumption, called “white noise hypothesis” (WNH) that useful, yet also known be not rigorous and, at least certain cases, valid. We obtain reconstruction estimates...

Correctly generating a structured query (e.g., an XQuery or a SQL query) requires the user to have a full understanding of the database schema, which can be a daunting task. Alternative query models have been proposed to give users the ability to query the database without schema knowledge. Those models, including simple keyword search and labeled keyword search, aim to extract meaningful data ...

Graph similarity search under the graph edit distance constraint has received considerable attention in many applications, such as bioinformatics, data mining, pattern recognition and social networks. Existing methods for this problem have limited scalability because of huge amount memory they consume when handling very large databases with tens millions graphs. In article, we present a succinc...

Recently Güntürk et al. showed that Σ∆ quantization is more effective than memoryless scalar quantization (MSQ) when applied to compressed sensing measurements of sparse signals. MSQ with the l decoder recovers an approximation to the original sparse signal with an error proportional to the quantization step size δQ. For an r-th order Σ∆ scheme the reconstruction accuracy can be improved by a f...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare sexual function and sexual response, attitude toward sexuality and relationships with sexual partners in women diagnosed with PCOS and healthy controls. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 73 women (aged 23-42 years) diagnosed with PCOS using the Rotterdam criteria and 45 healthy controls. All participants completed a questionnaire assessing socioepi...

Cognitive rehabilitation treatment (CRT) has been described in patients with brain injury, but it has not been attempted in cases of cognitive dysfunction without organic cause. This case report describes CRT of neurocognitive impairment in a 54-year-old female patient with conversion disorder (CD). She experienced difficulties with regard to speaking, motor function, and pain symptoms, which d...

This study examined the beta-adrenergic regulation of uncoupling protein (UCP) 2 and UCP3 gene expression in porcine tissues. In vitro experiments examined changes in UCP2 and UCP3 gene expression in middle (MSQ) and outer (OSQ) subcutaneous adipose tissues from crossbred neutered male pigs. Incubation of tissue slices (24 h) with 0 to 1000 nM isoproterenol increased UCP2 and UCP3 mRNA abundanc...
