dxl of calcaneus is a portable method for bmd. this study determined a cut off point for dxl in osteoporosis diagnosis. in 510 healthy postmenopausal women, bmd of axial regions with dxa (dpx-md, ge,lunar corp, madison, wi) and heel with dxl (demeteck- sweden), measured. the agreement of two methods and cut off point for dxl in defining osteoporosis, obtained. dxa found osteoporosis in 34.3% an...

Cut-elimination is one of the most important techniques in proof theory. Roughly speaking, eliminating cuts from a proof generates a new proof without lemmas, which essentially consists of the syntactic material of the proven theorem. Traditionally cutelimination served the purpose to show consistency of calculi and thus played a central role in metamathematics. In this traditional context the ...

in order to study the effect of irrigation cut on dry matter remobilization and some of agronomy traits on spring barley, a field experiment was conducted by using a split-plot based on randomized complete block design (rcbd), in three replications, at agricultural and natural resource research center of ardebil, in 2009. irrigation treatments included normal irrigation (as local routine in pas...

the aim of this research was to improve quality and vase life of cut gladiolus flowers. the investigation was done with the effects of different concentrations of essential oil of thymol and zataria oil (50 and 100 mg l-1) and silver nanoparticles (3 and 5 mg l-1) and 8-hydroxyquinolin sulfate (300 and 400 mg l-1) with sucrose 3%. in addition, distilled water, ethanol 500 mgl-1 and sucrose 3% w...

investigation of reliability characteristics under fuzzy environments is proposed in this paper. fuzzy weibull distribution and lifetimes of components are using it described. formulas of a fuzzy reliability function, fuzzy hazard function and their α-cut set are presented. furthermore, the fuzzy functions of series systems and parallel systems are discussed, respectively. finally, some numeric...

the postharvest vase life of cut roses was studied to determine the effects of various physiological factors that influence the vase life of cut flower. cut roses were obtained from commercial area of siliguri. to assess the effect of preservatives on the postharvest life of rose, cut flowers were treated with following preservative solutions: fixed amount of citric acid (ca) (300 mg/ml) and 8-...
