Abstract Rare domestic tree species are increasingly being viewed as promising alternatives and additions to current main in forests facing climate change. For a feasible management of these rare species, it is, however, necessary know their growth patterns space requirements. This information has been lacking science up now. Our study investigated the basic crown allometries four (European hor...

A new scalable interconnection topology called the spanning-bus connected hypercube (SBCH) that is suitable for massively parallel systems is proposed. The SBCH uses the hypercube topology as a basic building block and connects such building blocks by use of multidimensional spanning buses. In doing so, the SBCH combines positive features of both the hypercube (small diameter, high connectivity...

This paper describes various illumination and image processing techniques for yarn characterization. Darkfield and back-lit illuminations are compared in terms of depth of field tolerance and image quality. Experiments show that back-lit illumination is superior in terms of depth of field tolerance and contrast. Three different back-lit illumination configurations are studied: one simply employ...

OBJECTIVES The progression and pathophysiology of neuropathy in impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is poorly understood, especially in relation to autophagy. This study was designed to assess whether the presence of autophagy-related structures was associated with sural nerve fiber pathology, and to investigate if endoneurial capillary pathology could predict the develo...

OBJECTIVE Investigate the effect of GC-1 on tolerance to exercise in rats with experimental hypothyroidism. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hypothyroidism was induced with methimazole sodium and perchlorate treatment. Six groups with eight animals were studied: control group (C), hypothyroid group without treatment (HYPO); hypothyroidism treated with physiological doses of tetraiodothyronine (T4) or 10...

Hypertension is frequently accompanied by left ventricular hypertrophy, endothelial dysfunction, and abnormal glucose metabolism. However, no study has examined the relative pathological significance of left ventricular hypertrophy and abnormal glucose metabolism on endothelial dysfunction in hypertension. This study was conducted to evaluate whether abnormal glucose tolerance assessed by 75-g ...

A new scalable interconnection topology suitable for massively parallel systems called the Spanning Bus Connected Hypercube (SBCH) is proposed. The SBCH uses the hypercube topology as a basic building block and connects such building blocks using multi-dimensional spanning buses. In doing so, the SBCH combines positive features of both the hypercube (small diameter, high connectivity, symmetry,...

OBJECTIVE To explore the therapeutic effect and safety of target-dose metoprolol in treating chronic heart failure (CHF) patients complicated with diabetes mellitus (DM). Method s : One hundred and fifty-four elderly patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group (n=77), which were treated with target-dose metoprolol and conventional therapy, and routinely treated ...
