Functional life of any barrage project depends on functional stability of the concrete piers. The piers are constructed using concrete of different grades. Its durability is dependent on various factors viz. speed of running water, its aggressivity, temperatures fluctuations etc. The endurance capacity of these piers against these adverse conditions goes on reducing with passage of time. Gradua...

We process a large corpus of game records of the board game of Go and propose a way of extracting summary information on played moves. We then apply several basic datamining methods on the summary information to identify the most differentiating features within the summary information, and discuss their correspondence with traditional Go knowledge. We show statistically significant mappings of ...

Abstract During the winters of 2020/2021 and 2021/2022, an experiment was done on a private farm in Taha El-Marg Village, Diarb Negm District, Al Sharqia Governorate, Egypt. The purpose these studies to examine impact intercropping systems using caraway garlic at varying row ratios (single crop each as control, 1:2, 2:1, 2: 2, respectively) potassium rates (0.0, 25, 50, 75 kg K 2 O/feddan) comp...

in order to study the intercropping of barley (hordeum vulgare l.) and faba bean (vicia faba l.) an experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with two factors and three replications at sari agricultural science and natural resources university during 2009. the first factor was two seed ratios include d1: 75 and 150 kg.ha-1 of faba bean and barley, respectiv...

A systems modeling approach is presented for assessment of harm in the automotive accident environment. The methodology is presented in general form and then applied to evaluate vehicle aggressivity in frontal crashes. The methodology consists of parametric simulation of several controlled accident variables, with case results weighted by the relative frequency of each specific event. A hierarc...

Conflicts are inherent to the human condition, as they are for all living beings. Disputes about resources or access to mating partners are among the most common causes of conflict. Conflict is herein defined as a struggle or contest between individuals or parties, and may involve a variety of aggressive behaviours. In humans, aggressiveness, violence and conflicts, including individual predisp...

The aim of our study was to assess the nature and importance of claudin expression in grade I-III ependymomas. The expression of claudins 2-5, 7, 10, TWIST, and ZEB1 were investigated in a series of 61 ependymomas using immunohistochemistry. All the claudins were expressed in ependymomas, except for CLDN4. CLDN5 positive tumours were associated with higher grade (p=0.049), whereas CLDN10 was lo...

Purpose: To investigate the clinical relevance of the recently characterized human oncoprotein cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) in human breast cancer. Experimental Design: CIP2A expression (mRNA and protein) was measured in three different sets of human mammary tumors and compared with clinicopathologic variables. The functional role of CIP2A in breast cancer cells was eva...
