human milk contains all of the constituents that are required for the optimal growth and development of a neonate. it supports the development of brain, immune, and physiological systems. this study aimed to consider the significance of breast milk in preventing oxidative stress by comparing total antioxidant capacity (tac) in breast and formula milk for premature infants, demonstrating the rel...

One of the main problems in biomedical data processing like electrocardiography is the separation of the wanted signal from noises. In this paper a type of multiple sub-adaptive filters are considered to reduce the Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal noises like Power Line Interference (PLI). Results of simulations in MATLAB are presented. The results were compared with the pervious approaches used ...

Some Prolog systems are able to delay the execution of Prolog goals and resume it later. We were involved in the design, implementation and evaluation of several such systems and we summarise here our experiences with them. First we describe a general structure of such ’coroutining’ systems and then we concentrate on the particular features of and choices made in three ECRC’s logic programming ...

Although additional validation studies are needed, the data suggest that knowledge of circulating miRNAs such as miR-155 may someday be used to predict which patients with MBL go on to develop overt CLL. Importantly, the investigators looked at several types of specimens, including CLL cells and plasma from patients with CLL. Plasma miR-155 was as effective a biomarker as miR-155 isolated from ...

common to all species (although the evidence for this appears weak; Flather et al. 2011), then the SAFE index is merely a measure of N. The need for the logarithmic transformation in the SAFE index is unsupported. Clements et al. claim that the SAFE index improves communication of “distance” from extinction. However, the general public, donors, and policy makers will understand the implications...

This is the initial publication on Concept Calculus, which establishes mutual interpretability between formal systems based on informal commonsense concepts and formal systems for mathematics through abstract set theory. Here we work with axioms for "better than" and "much better than", and the Zermelo and Zermelo Frankel axioms for set theory.

Recent advances in mobile computing have enabled the deployment of broadcast based information systems such as, wireless internet, traffic information systems, etc. These systems are mainly pull-based and their performance very much depends on the broadcast schedule they use. In this paper we focus on on-demand broadcast system. We propose a new ondemand scheduling algorithm that takes scheduli...

pervious concrete is a concrete mixture prepared from cement, aggregates, water, little or no fines, and in some cases admixtures. the hydrological property of pervious concrete is the primary reason for its reappearance in construction. much research has been conducted on plain concrete, but little attention has been paid to porous concrete, particularly to the analytical prediction modeling o...
