Ratios of barium and strontium concentrations in skeletal samples (e.g. the logarithmic form lg(Ba/Sr)), are a possible alternative or supplementary marker to stable carbon isotope ratios (δ13C) for identification marine food consumption. Previous studies have compared lg(Ba/Sr) values between different species animals with differing diets, but few been performed where same consumed known diets...

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...

• 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...

ABSTRACT: Growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), and leptin (LEP) can be candidate genes for association studies because they play vital roles in the metabolism process. Thus, this study aimed to identify variants these associated with body traits Santa Ines sheep. The following were recorded: weight at 100 (BW100) 240 days (BW240), average daily gain (ADG), withers (WH) crou...
