Genetic programming is an evolutionary algorithm, which allows performing symbolic regression — the important task of obtaining the analytical form of a model by the data, produced by the model. One of the known problems of genetic programming is expressions’ bloating that results in ineffictevely long expressions. To prevent bloating, symbolic simplification of expression is used. We introduce...

Abstract NASICON-type solid electrolytes are promising materials for novel solid-state-batteries aiming toward high energy densities. Na 1+ x Hf 2 Si 2.3 P 0.7 O 10.85+0.5 with varying sodium content as well Sc- or Mg-doped and undoped Zr 3- 12 were synthesized by solution-assisted solid-state reaction. Microstructural mechanical characteristics conductivities investigated. The electrochemical ...

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects 7-15% of the general population. A recently devised dietary approach consists of restricting foods with highly fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs), which can trigger and/or exacerbate IBS symptoms. The aim of this study is to use meta-analysis to provide an update on the randomised control trials (RCTs) and cohort studies, a...

Despite the fact that nonmotor symptoms (NMS) like gastrointestinal (GI) complaints are frequently reported in Parkinson's disease (PD), no therapeutic guidelines are available. This study aimed to manage some lower GI-NMS in a group of patients with PD. A total of 40 patients (17 males, 23 females; mean age 76.05±2.09 years) were randomly selected for this study. Patients were confirmed to hav...

The similarity of the fine fraction dredged freshwater sediments to natural clays stimulates valorization in a product similar expanded clay aggregates, obtained by bloating at high temperature. impact ratios between different flux elements (Fe2O3 + CaO MgO K2O Na2O) on melting behavior is quantified using thermodynamic modeling and validated with experiments. total content alkalis found be key...

BACKGROUND Evidence suggests that gut flora may play an important role in the pathophysiology of the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). We evaluated rifaximin, a minimally absorbed antibiotic, as treatment for IBS. METHODS In two identically designed, phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials (TARGET 1 and TARGET 2), patients who had IBS without constipation were randomly assigned to eith...
