Deep excavation construction safety has become a challenging and crucial aspect of modern infrastructure engineering, its risk assessment is frequently carried out using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP). However, when FAHP to evaluate risks deep construction, results weightings obtained through subjective weighting are heavily influenced by factors evaluators. In addition, linear ope...

Dengue fever is caused due to the mosquito (Aedel aegypti) bite. The symptoms of this are similar other fevers such as Malaria, Chikungunya and Zika. A common sign sharp fall blood platelet count, amongst a host confusing symptoms, which makes difficult diagnose, especially by an inexperienced physician. purpose study outline decision support system (DSS) would come aid detection carrying out a...

Development of coastal area for various economic activities such as agriculture, tourism and industrial facilities and recreational areas is inevitable. These activities may indirectly contribute to accelerated coastal erosion. Economic activities imply a pressure on natural environment for the case of coastal zones. In addition, environmental changes such as climate change, tidal wave, wind an...

Risk assessment is becoming increasingly important for railway signal system in order to safeguard their passengers and employees while improving safety and reducing maintenance costs. However, the application of risk assessment methods in railway signal system may not give satisfactory results because the risk data are incomplete or there is a high level of uncertainty involved in the risk dat...

Pyramidal neurons in layer VI of the primary motor and somatosensory cortices were examined by a combined method of intracellular recording, biocytin injection, and immunocytochemistry using in vitro slice preparations of rat brain. lmmunofluorescence staining revealed that biocytin-injected pyramidal cells in layer VI were separated into glutaminase (PAG)-immunopositive and PAG-immunonegative ...

In larval lamprey, hemitransections were performed on the right side of the rostral spinal cord to axotomize ipsilateral reticulospinal (RS) neurons. First, at short recovery times (2-3 weeks), uninjured RS neurons contralateral to hemitransections fired a smooth train of action potentials in response to sustained depolarization, whereas axotomized neurons fired a single short burst or short re...
