Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript peptide (CART) is a substance,which can play the role of neuromediator and/or neuromodulator in nerve structures within the gastrointestinal tract. However knowledge concerning its functions and co-localisation with other neuronal factors is rather scarce. During the present investigation the co-localisation of CART and vasoactive intestinal polypep...

one of the most important aspects of software project management is the estimation of cost and time required for running information system. therefore, software managers try to carry estimation based on behavior, properties, and project restrictions. software cost estimation refers to the process of development requirement prediction of software system. various kinds of effort estimation patter...

This preliminary study used the stacking ensemble to explore major elements (factors) which could predict depression in patients with Parkinson’s disease and presented baseline data for developing a nomogram prognostic index predicting high-risk groups among future. Depression, an outcome variable, was divided into “with depression” “without using Geriatric Depression Scale-30 (GDS-30). develop...

A simple model is developed that predicts the coefficient of rolling friction for an undriven laboratory cart on a track that is approximately independent of the mass loaded onto the cart and of the angle of inclination of the track. The model includes both deformation of the wheels/track and frictional torque at the axles/bearings. The concept of rolling friction is contrasted with the static ...

Purpose of the study Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has greatly improved the life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLHIV). A series of cohort studies have predicted near-to-normal life expectancies for PLHIV receiving cART but have not considered the impact of multi-class resistance on long-term survival. Our study aims to project the future life expectancy of PLHIV in a resourc...

BACKGROUND Access to resuscitation equipment is a critical component in delivering optimal care in pediatric arrest situations. Historically, children's hospitals and clinics have used a standard pediatric resuscitation cart ("standard cart") in which drawers are organized by intervention (eg, intubation module, intravenous module), requiring multiple drawers to be opened during a code. Many em...

The novel neuropeptide cocaine-amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) is expressed in several hypothalamic regions and has recently been shown to be involved in the central control of food intake. To characterize the hypothalamic CART neurons and understand the physiological functions they might serve, we undertook an in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical study to examine distribution ...

This paper deals with modelling, identification and simulation of the inverted pendulum PS600. This system is unstable and nonlinear with one input – voltage of a DC motor which can change position of the cart and two outputs – cart position and angle of the pendulum rod. First, a mathematical model of the inverted pendulum is derived, followed by identification of its unknown parameters. Then,...
