BACKGROUND Critically Appraised Topics (CATs) are a useful tool that helps physicians to make clinical decisions as the healthcare moves towards the practice of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM). The fast growing World Wide Web has provided a place for physicians to share their appraised topics online, but an increasing amount of time is needed to find a particular topic within such a rich reposito...

AimStudy was undertaken to investigate the effect of altered behavioral condition like depression on various oxidative stress markers and biochemical parameters in rats. MethodsRats were subjected for short (21 days) and long term (84 days) social isolation; the rats displayed an increase in depression on force swim test relative to control. Various markers of oxidative stress like lipid per ox...

In this paper we study the extremal type problem arising from the question: What is the maximum number ET (S) of edges that a geometric graph G on a planar point set S can have such that it does not contain empty triangles? We prove: ( n 2 ) −O(n log n) ≤ ET (n) ≤ ( n 2 ) − ( n− 2 + ⌊n 8 ⌋) . keywords: Geometric graphs Empty triangles Combinatorial Geometry Extremal Problem ∗Partially supported...

As the number of systems which offer annotations on digital documents increases, robust anchoring of annotations is a key challenge. It is especially important if the annotator lacks write-access to the document being annotated. For example, if someone makes an annotation on a web page today and the web page changes tomorrow, what happens to the annotation? One approach is simply to “orphan” th...

In this paper, a new method is proposed for solving the data clustering problem using Cat Swarm Optimization (CSO) algorithm based on chaotic behavior. The problem of data clustering is an important section in the field of the data mining, which has always been noted by researchers and experts in data mining for its numerous applications in solving real-world problems. The CSO algorithm is one ...
