in order to investigation of planting pattern and plant density effects on vegetative and reproductive organs and yield of early maturing cotton cultivars, an experiment was carried out as split–split plot using randomized complete block design with 4 replications, in karkandeh research station, during 2004-2205. three row spaces (60, 70 and 80 cm) were consisted as main factors, plant space in...

This paper presents a preliminary experimental study of the performance of basic sparse matrix computations on the CM-200 and the CM-5. We concentrate on examining various ways of performing general sparse matrix-vector operations and the basic primitives on which these are based. We compare various data structures for storing sparse matrices and their corresponding matrix – vector operations. ...

The transition to ICD-10-CM/PCS has expanded educational opportunities for educators and trainers who are taking on the responsibility of training coders on the new system. Coding education currently faces multiple challenges in the areas of how to train the new workforce, what might be the most efficient method of providing that training, how much retraining of the current workforce with ICD-9...

The environmental conditions in permeable carbonate sands are in many ways different from those in fine-grained sediments, but little is known about how this affects the structure and composition of the microbial community. We studied the microbial community structure in relation to the geochemical zonation within a 4 m2 patch of a sandy carbonate sediment in Kane’ohe Bay, O’ahu, Hawaii. Porewa...

BACKGROUND Endotracheal tube (ETT) cuffs create a seal to protect against secretion entry to the lungs. Cuff inflation currently is recommended at 20-30 cm H2O pressure. ETT designs have variable seal performance in bench studies using rigid tracheal models lacking the dynamic characteristics of the human trachea. We compared ETT designs within a new, biorealistic tracheal model to assess cuff ...

BACKGROUND Ingestion of small amounts of cow's milk (CM) can elicit adverse reactions in patients with IgE-mediated CM allergy. Knowing the dose eliciting allergic reactions and the factors affecting it can be of great help in avoiding these reactions. OBJECTIVE To analyse the eliciting doses of positive challenge test in patients with CM allergy and to determine its association with the leve...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the diagnostic performance of dynamic gadobenate dimeglumine-enhanced MRI with explant pathologic correlation in the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients undergoing liver transplantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-seven patients (28 men, 19 women; mean age, 49 years) underwent dynamic gadobenate dimeglumi...

Concentration of Glomalin Related Soil Protein is reportedly close related to soil functions, but few data is available for GRSP compositional variations and function related to soil properties. In this paper, soils from 0-20 cm, 20-40 cm, 40-60 cm, 60-80 cm, and 80-100 cm layers were collected in 72 poplar shelterbelts in Songnen Plain (6 regions) for implementing this data shortage. GRSP main...
