The objective of the current study is to present a comparison techniques for forecasting low-frequency climate oscillation indices with focus on Great Lakes system. A number time series models have been tested including traditional autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model, dynamic linear model (DLM), generalized conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) as well nonstationary resampling (NSOR) te...

The objective : to evaluate the toxicity of combinations delamanid and drugs for treatment drug resistant tuberculosis with different safety profiles in an experiment. Results . During 14 days study, animals both experimental groups satisfactorily tolerated administration combinations, no died, negative impact on body weight changes was observed (physiological gain). In rats from Group OG-1, ch...

Bacterial surface adsorption reactions are influenced by electric field effects caused by changes in ionic strength; however, existing datasets are too sparse to definitively constrain these differences or to determine the best way to account for them using thermodynamic models. In this study, we examine the ionic strength dependence of proton and metal adsorption onto the surfaces of Pseudomon...

Rapid self-organization of a mapping between two patterns plays an important role in various visual tasks such as object recognition. This task is di cult because of the variations we have to deal with, such as shift, scale and orientation. Dynamic Link Matching (DLM) [1] is a matching process that is ideal in dealing with many of the variations, but it is too slow to account for the split-seco...

BACKGROUND Tissue-engineered liver grafts may offer a viable alternative to orthotopic liver transplantation and help overcome the donor organ shortage. Decellularized liver matrices (DLM) have a preserved vasculature and sustain hepatocellular function in culture, but graft survival after transplantation remains limited due to thrombogenicity of the matrix. AIM To evaluate the effect of hepa...

The role of centrally located motoneurones in producing the whole-body withdrawal response of Lymnaea stagnalis (L.) was investigated. The motoneurones innervating the muscles used during whole-body withdrawal, the columellar muscle (CM) and the dorsal longitudinal muscle (DLM) were cells with a high resting potential (-60 to -70 mV) and thus a high threshold for spike initiation. In both semi-...

A prominent principle in explaining a range of word-order regularities is dependency locality, which minimizes the linear distances (dependency lengths) between head and its dependents. However, it remains unclear to what extent language users fact observe locality when producing sentences under diverse conditions cross-categorical harmony (such as placement verbal nominal heads on same vs. dif...

This study aims at investigating the way Digital Citizenship Competencies (DCC) are incorporated into digital learning materials (DLM) in a web-based platform called myenglishstep.com. By compiling 115 DLM of 7th up to 9th Grade and utilizing content analysis method, finding shows skills dimension is found be highest incorporation, followed by knowledge dimension. In contrast, attitudes values ...

A study was conducted with pigs to determine the sites of and the influence of dietary wheat middlings (WM) as a fiber source on the absorption of dl-Met (DLM) and dl-2-hydroxy-4-methylthio butanoic acid (HMTBA). Twelve 25-kg barrows were used in a replicated 6 × 4 incomplete Latin-square design with 6 diets and 4 periods per pig. Each pig was surgically fitted with simple T-cannulas in the ter...
