In 1964 Keen and Chlouverakis used a radioimmunoassay to measure the concentration of albumin in the urine of diabetic subjects.' Although the urine samples were negative for protein by standard clinical tests, the rate of albumin excretion in the study group was greater than in normal controls. Many studies and review articles have subsequently addressed the clinical implications and pathophys...

a comparison of buckling analysis of the nanoplate and nanocomposite plate with central square hole embedded in winkler foundation is presented in this article. in order to enhance mechanical properties of nanoplate with central cut out, carbon nano tubes (cnts) are applied as uniform distribution (ud) through thickness direction. in order to define the shape function of plate with square cut o...

The joint analysis of spatial and genetic data is rapidly becoming the norm in population genetics. More and more studies explicitly describe and quantify the spatial organization of genetic variation and try to relate it to underlying ecological processes. As it has become increasingly difficult to keep abreast with the latest methodological developments, we review the statistical toolbox avai...

In this paper we demonstrate the use of network analysis to characterise patterns of clustering in spatio-temporal events. Such clustering is of both theoretical and practical importance in the study of crime, and forms the basis for a number of preventative strategies. However, existing analytical methods show only that clustering is present in data, while offering little insight into the natu...

Courses covering analytical methods for materials characterization are part of the educational program in many academic faculties, particularly in applied physics and chemistry. Employment of multimedia techniques in the presentation of the subject is increasingly accepted and even demanded by students as the required hardware and software becomes affordable and widely available at reasonable q...

The phase diagram of a frustrated spin-S zig-zag ladder is studied through different numerical and analytical methods. We show that for arbitrary S, there is a family of Hamiltonians for which a fully-dimerized state is an exact ground state, being the Majumdar-Ghosh point for a particular member of the family. We show that the system presents a transition between a dimerized phase to a Néel-li...

the present paper aims to analyze the method of sibooye in syntactic analysis with reference to grammar writing and applied syntax. the outcome of this study shows that the method of sibooye is structure writing mixed with analysis. he didn’t suffice to quoting what he heard but moves forward and does functionalism analysis. the nearest reasons showing sibooye’s attempt on this method is that m...

Progressive collapse of buildings typically occurs when abnormal loading conditions cause local damages, which leads to a chain reaction of failure and ultimately catastrophic collapse. The tie force (TF) method is one of the main design approaches for progressive collapse. As the TF method is a simplified method, further investigations on the reliability of the method is necessary. This study ...
