Background: Breast milk is important for the overall well-being of infants. Although lactation is relatively robust in the face of poor nutrition, the implication of poor nutrition on non-nutritive factors in breast milk is inconclusive. Objective: This study was designed to find associations between nutritional and immune factors in maternal blood and breast milk with the aim to improve the ne...

there are several problems associated with the use of indwelling urethra catheters, including urinary tract infections and mechanical problems. infections have been well researched but mechanical problems associated with blockage, leakage of urine and general discomfort have been less investigated. although education of patients and carers on the use of catheters has been recommended, in practi...

This paper presents an experimental comparison of Interestingness Measures (IMs), in the context of an approach designed for matching textual taxonomies. This extensional and asymmetric approach makes use of association rule model for matching entities issued from two textual hierarchies. We select 6 IMs and we perform two experiments on a benchmark composed of two textual taxonomies and a set ...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of tree pattern constraints (XTPCs) for XML documents as a pattern-based schema formalism founded on XPath. XTPCs provide an effective means to specify conditions on path or tree patterns that XML documents have to satisfy. Conditions include implication, absence, and co-occurrence of patterns. XTPCs can be used as stand-alone schema formalisms or in conj...

A Heyting algebra is a distributive lattice with implication and a dual $BCK$-algebra is an algebraic system having as models logical systems equipped with implication. The aim of this paper is to investigate the relation of Heyting algebras between dual $BCK$-algebras. We define notions of $i$-invariant and $m$-invariant on dual $BCK$-semilattices and prove that a Heyting semilattice is equiva...

post disaster reconstruction in the destructed zones entails the social aspects in addition to the physical and urban aspects, because of the presence of affected people in the very location. the presented research aims to assess the social aspects of the post disaster conditions in the course of reconstruction, which take into consideration the related social factors in the affected community....
