This paper employs Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) to predict water level that leads to flood in coastal areas. ANFIS combines the verbal power of fuzzy logic and numerical power of neural network for its action. Meteorological and astronomical data of Santa Monica, a coastal area in California, U. S. A., were obtained. A portion of the data was used to train the ANFIS network, wh...

Strawberry fruits require appropriate storage technology to maintain post harvest quality. In order to improve the shelf-life and to reduce the decrease of qualitative and nutraceutical characteristics the effects of different packaging conditions were observed comparing biobased and polypropylene perforated films. Sample units of 0,250 Kg strawberries cv. Envie2 flowpacked have been stored und...

OBJECTIVE to investigate whether any changes in the preload index (PLI) occur within the first 48 hours of fenoterol intravenous tocolysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Doppler evaluation of placental and fetal circulation was performed in 36 pregnant women prior to fenoterol administration and after 24/48 hours. Measurements were obtained from a longitudinal section of the inferior vena cava (IVC) a...

Introduction: Despite widespread use of 67Gallium for lymphoma evaluation, timing of imaging after injection is a matter of controversy and to the extent of our knowledge no direct comparison has been made between early and delayed gallium images. We aimed to compare 24 and 48 hours post injection planar gallium imaging for evaluation of lymphoma recurrence. Methods: 255 pa...

Brown rice has physical and sensory characteristics that are less favorable despite its high content of nutrition phytochemical. The germination process is one way to improve increase the acceptance brown rice. objective research was determine time varieties on chemical germinated conducted in RAL with 2 factors, (24, 48, 72 hours) (Mentik susu, Ciherang, Pandan wangi). data obtained were proce...

PURPOSE To examine the ability of viable Staphylococcus aureus to induce the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1beta, cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC), and interferon (IFN)-gamma after intravitreal injection. METHODS Experimental rat eyes were injected with a 25-microl volume of approximately 80 colony-forming units of viable S. aureus; contro...
