Background Family Planning (FP) program in Pakistan has been struggling to achieve the desired indicators. Despite a well-timed initiation of the program in late 50s, fertility decline has been sparingly slow. As a result, rapid population growth is impeding economic development in the country. A high population growth rate, the current fertility rate, a stagnant contraceptive prevalence rate a...

finding frequent patterns plays a key role in exploring association patterns, correlation, and many other interesting relationships that are applicable in tdb. several association rule mining algorithms such as apriori, fp-growth, and eclat have been proposed in the literature. fp-growth algorithm construct a tree structure from transaction database and recursively traverse this tree to extract...

We investigate the optimal LM treatment of abundant filled pauses (FP) in spontaneous monologues of a professional dictation task. Questions addressed here are (1) how to deal with FP in the LM history and (2) to which extent can the LM distinguish between positions with high and low FP likelihood. Our results differ partly from observations reported on dialogues. Discarding FP from all LM hist...

Female protein (FP) is a pentraxin of Syrian hamster which is a homologue of two human pentraxins, C-reaction protein (CRP) and amyloid P component (AP). Functionally, FP has been shown to be similar to CRP, although FP has more homology at the amino terminus with AP. The present work investigated amyloid in the Syrian hamster to determine whether FP was involved in a manner analogous to AP. FP...

The ring Z has many analogies with the ring Fp[T ], where Fp is a field of prime size p. For example, for nonzero m ∈ Z and nonzero M ∈ Fp[T ], the residue rings Z/(m) and Fp[T ]/M are both finite. The unit groups Z × = {±1} and Fp[T ]× = Fp are both finite. Every nonzero integer can be made positive after multiplication by a suitable unit, and every nonzero polynomial in Fp[T ] can be made mon...

background: identification of disease risk factors can help in the prevention of diseases. in assessing the predictive value of continuous variables, a routine procedure is to categorize the factors. this yield to inability to detect non‑linear relationship, if exist. multivariate fractional polynomial (mfp) modeling is a flexible method to reveal non‑linear associations. we aim to demonstrate ...

OBJECTIVES Falls prevention (FP) evidence abounds but falls rates remain relatively unaffected. This study aimed to explore community service providers' use of evidence-based FP interventions, attitudes toward implementation, knowledge and capacity for FP engagement, collaboration in FP, and organizational readiness to implement evidence. To our knowledge, this is the first study exploring the ...

Aim In recent years, the importance of fertility preservation (FP) has increased. In vitro maturation (IVM), an important technique in FP, has started to be used in the clinic, but controversies persist regarding this technique. Here, a survey of IVM for FP is provided. Methods Based on a literature review, the applications of FP, methods of FP, IVM of oocytes that had been collected in vivo ...
