During our dissection classes, we observed a lobulated spleen with multiple hila and fissures. The spleen presented 4 hila and 5 deep fissures. The hila were seen on the visceral surface. The fissures extended into the substance of the spleen from superior border, inferior border and the visceral surface. Because of these fissures, the spleen appeared to be lobulated, having seven distinct lobe...

We analyse the behaviour of Incremental Model-Based Clustering on child-directed speech data, and suggest a possible use of this method to describe the acquisition of phonetic classes by an infant. The effects of two factors are analysed, namely the number of coefficients describing the speech signal, and the frame length of the incremental clustering procedure. The results show that, although ...

background and objectives: antibacterial susceptibility testing of clinical bacterial isolates through disk diffusion method plays a major role in antibacterial treatment. one of the main factors affecting the result of these tests is the type, structure and quality of the disks. the main objective of this study was to compare the agreement of antibiotic disks originated from three companies on...

to perform stability analysis and study g*e interaction, eight commercial sugar beet varieties were evaluated in eight major sugar beet producing areas of karaj, mashad, miandoab, esfahan, shiraz, kermanshah, moghan and hamadan in three years using a randomized complete block design with four replications. the evaluated varieties were br1, 7233, pp.8, ic, 7233-p29, pp22, h5505 and 41rt. having ...

An estimation problem of the mean µ of an inverse Gaussian distribution IG(µ, C µ) with known coefficient of variation c is treated as a decision problem with entropy loss function. A class of Bayes estimators is constructed, and shown to include MRSE estimator as its closure. Two important members of this class can easily be computed using continued fractions
