Almost all precision electroweak measurements from the Z resonance made at the LEP storage ring by the ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL experiments and those made using a polarized electron beam at the SLC by the SLD experiment are now final and have been published. Changes in the measurements since the last RADCOR meeting are discussed. The internal consistency of the measurements is considered. The...

We present two new algorithms FastAccSum and FastPrecSum, one to compute a faithful rounding of the sum of floating-point numbers and the other for a result “as if” computed in K-fold precision. Faithful rounding means the computed result either is one of the immediate floating-point neighbors of the exact result or is equal to the exact sum if this is a floating-point number. The algorithms ar...

congenital double lip anomaly is an infrequent developmental abnormality affecting the lips, more commonly the upper lip. 5 cases of double lip are being reported for the first time from iran and all confined to the upper lip. a new surgical excision is being introduced which is called transverse cupid bow-like elliptical incision. the previous traditional method was a simple elliptical excisio...

the time evaluation of quantum entropy in a four-level double- type atomic system is theoretically investigated. quantum entanglement of the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed via quantum entropy. it is found that the degree of entanglement can be increased by the quantum interference induced by spontaneous emission. the phase dependence of the atom-field entanglement is...

Background Iron deficiency anemia is a global health problem, and approximately 50% of anemia is caused by iron deficiency. According to studies, iron supplementation in young females improves iron status by increasing concentration of hemoglobin. To compare of prescribing two methods of iron supplementation administered either on a weekly basis or during menstruation, on hemoglobin level and...

In this paper, we investigate the usage of machine learning in the detection and recognition of double stars. To do this, numerous images including one star and double stars are simulated. Then, 100 terms of Zernike expansion with random coefficients are considered as aberrations to impose on the aforementioned images. Also, a telescope with a specific aperture is simulated. In this work, two k...

auctions have been as a competitive method of buying and selling valuable or rare items for a long time. single-sided auctions in which participants negotiate on a single attribute (e.g. price) are very popular. double auctions and negotiation on multiple attributes create more advantages compared to single-sided and single-attribute auctions. nonetheless, this adds the complexity of the auctio...

conclusion this study shows no significant improvement in the cancer detection rate by double reading; however, a lower recall rate could be a more helpful consequence. results readers had consensus on bi-rads categories in 459 breasts (71%), but diverse categories were used for 183 breasts (29%), including 132 significant and 51 non-significant discrepancies. according to weighted kappa test, ...

abstract background and aims. the aim of this study was to evalute the effect of double pedicle graft (dpg) with and without plasma rich in growth factor (prgf) in the treatment of miller's cl i and ii gingival recessions. materials and methods. thirty two bilateral buccal gingival miller’s cl i and ii recessions were selected. sixteen of the recessions were treated with dpg and prgf (test grou...
