Previous studies reported a gender-specific association between plasma fibrinogen concentrations and incident hypertension. We systematically analysed polymorphisms and haplotypes across the fibrinogen gene cluster with fibrinogen levels and assessed their contribution to prevalent hypertension in 2,200 men and 2,159 women from the population-based MONICA/KORA Augsburg study. Eleven tagging sin...

Web services are integrated web-based applications that function over a protocol backbone. Web service selection is one of the most important steps in many of the web service applications such as UDDI registries and web service repositories. Each web service has its own functionality which matches the service request. QoS plays a major role in selecting web services in terms of qualitative meas...

The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of diff erent estrus synchronization protocols on reproductive parameters in nulliparous Saanen goats at the end of the transition period. In this experiment, 71 nulliparous Saanen does were used and divided into four treatment groups as norgestomet implant plus GnRH (Imp-G), norgestomet implant (Imp), FGA sponge plus GnRH (Spo-G), and FGA...

Axial loading tests with stress ratios R of -1, 0 and 0.3 were performed to examine the fatigue failure behavior of a carburized Cr-Ni steel in the long-life regime from 10⁴ to 10⁸ cycles. Results show that this steel represents continuously descending S-N characteristics with interior inclusion-induced failure under R = -1, whereas it shows duplex S-N characteristics with surface defect-induce...

Allele frequencies for 15 STR autosomal loci (D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSF1PO, D3S1358, TH01, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D19S433, VWA, TPOX, D18S51, D5S818 and FGA) were obtained from a sample of 200 unrelated individuals from Bolivia, South America.

Two experiments were performed to determine the effectiveness of different progestogens contained in intravaginal devices, different doses of eCG and subsequent hCG treatment on the reproductive performance of estrus-induced mature Lori ewes. In the first experiment, 88 ewes were allocated into two groups, and were treated with either fluorogestone acetate (FGA) sponges or Controlled Internal D...

The interior defect-induced crack initiation mechanism and early growth behavior of Ti6Al4V alloy fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) has been investigated in very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) regime. P–S–N curves under 10% 90% failure probabilities are obtained VHCF cracks inside the stages fine granular area (FGA) formation driven maximum shear stress propagate as Mode II + III mixed cr...

Socialnet becomes an important component in real life, drawing a lot of study issues security and safety. Recently, for the features graph structure socialnet, adversarial attacks on node classification are exposed, automatic attack methods such as fast gradient (FGA) NETTACK developed per-node attacks, which can be utilized multinode sequential way. However, due to overlook perturbation influe...

High-cycle fatigue (HCF) behaviors of medium-carbon bainitic steels with various inclusion sizes and microstructural features were studied using the rotating–bending test. Here, different melting processes treated by three heat treatment routes incorporating bainite formation, namely bainite-based quenching plus partitioning (BQ&P), austempering (BAT) “disturbed austempering, DBAT”. The int...
