We have developed a highly flexible module to evaluate and access the reusability of software components. The purpose of this model is to do pattern recognition by discovering supervised features which can help us to measure the intangible aspects of software components in terms of reusability. There were several function based applications which were given due diligence for identifying their v...

A large number of degrees of freedom is involved in human locomotion and well-coordinated movements of these degrees of freedom is essential. The main part of this coordination occurs in the central nervous system, which generates signals according to the desired gait. Nervous networks in the spinal marrow, known as central pattern generators (CPGs), are capable to produce rhythmic movements. A...

Spatiotemporal pattern formation in physical and chemical systems is typically based on a dynamics with a homogeneous, i.e. translationally invariant, connection topology. However, biological systems like the human cortex show homogeneous connectivity with additional strongly heterogeneous projections from one area to another. Here we use nonlinear retarded integral equations to describe the sp...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the pathological characteristics of invasive margins in early-stage cervical squamous cell carcinomas and their association with other clinicopathological features including clinical outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with FIGO stage IB-IIA cervical squamous cell carcinomas who received surgical treatment and had available follow-up information were identified. Th...

Recently two new degree concepts have been defined in graph theory: ev-degree and ve-degree. Also the evdegree and ve-degree Zagreb and Randić indices have been defined very recently as parallel of the classical definitions of Zagreb and Randić indices. It was shown that ev-degree and ve-degree topological indices can be used as possible tools in QSPR researches . In this paper we d...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether an early bone marrow edema pattern predicts vertebral deformity types and prognosis in osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). METHODS This retrospective study enrolled 64 patients with 75 acute OVCFs who underwent early MRI and followed up MRI. On early MRI, the low SI pattern of OVCF on T1WI were assessed and classified into 3 types (diffuse, globul...
