let $cr_n(f_p)$ denote the algebra of $n times n$ circulant‎ ‎matrices over $f_p$‎, ‎the finite field of order $p$ a prime‎. ‎the‎ ‎order of the unit groups $mathcal{u}(cr_3(f_p))$‎, ‎$mathcal{u}(cr_4(f_p))$ and $mathcal{u}(cr_5(f_p))$ of algebras of‎ ‎circulant matrices over $f_p$ are computed‎.

Recent advances in software testing introduced parameterized unit tests (PUT), which accept parameters, unlike conventional unit tests (CUT), which do not accept parameters. PUTs are more beneficial than CUTs with regards to fault-detection capability, since PUTs help describe the behaviors of methods under test for all test arguments. In general, existing applications often include manually wr...

In this paper, we address the issue of choice of unit size in unit selection speech synthesis. We discuss the development of a Hindi speech synthesizer and our experiments with different choices of units: syllable, diphone, phone and half phone. Perceptual tests conducted to evaluate the quality of the synthesizers with different unit size indicate that the syllable synthesizer performs better ...

background critical-care patients are at higher risk of untreated pain, because they are often unable to communicate owing to altered mental status, tracheal intubation and sedation. objectives this study compared two pain assessment tools on tracheal intubated critically ill patients in a cardiac post-anesthesia care unit, who were unable to communicate verbally. the studied tools were “critic...

background hypoglycemia is a common and the most important complication of intensive insulin therapy in critically ill patients. because of hypoglycemia’s impact on the cardinal organs as a fuel, if untreated it could results in permanent brain damage and increased mortality. conclusions our results showed that the sofa score, aki, and hemoglobin a1c are the independent risk factors for the dev...
