background: around one out of two mothers give births by cesarean section (cs) surgery in iran and about half of this number is due to previous cs. recently health sector evolution (hsep) program (started in april 2014) targets the high rate of cs in iran. to assess the impact of the interventions, we emphasized that the first birth cesarean (fbc) proportion is one of the main indicators to ass...

Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer and presents a significant health care burden in many countries. In addition to ultraviolet radiation in sunlight, the main causal factor for melanoma, genetic factors also play an important role in melanoma susceptibility. Although genome-wide association studies have identified many single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with melanoma, little ...

Larry Hardin has been the most steadfast and influential critic of physicalist theories of color over the last 20 years. In their modern form these theories originated with the work of Smart and Armstrong in the 1960s and 1970s 1 and Hardin appropriately concentrated on their views in his initial critique of physicalism. 2 In his most recent contribution to this project 3 he attacks Michael Tye...

This study presents the preparation of polypropylene composites filled with mixtures of household waste of mate-tea and wood particles to increase the economic value chain of mate-tea, especially in Latin America. Filler mixtures in proportions ranging from 0 to 60% depending on the type of particle were used. The polypropylene matrix was fixed at 40% and roughness surface and color evaluation ...

Prior studies have shown that cognitive control is implemented at the list and context levels in the color-word Stroop task. At first blush, the finding that Stroop interference is reduced for mostly incongruent items as compared with mostly congruent items (i.e., the item-specific proportion congruence [ISPC] effect) appears to provide evidence for yet a third level of control, which modulates...

Nezara viridula (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), the southern green stink bug, has body color polymorphisms. N. viridula f. smaragdula is the common green morph, whereas the rare morph N. viridula f. aurantiaca is uniformly orange. Crossing studies were conducted to determine the inheritance of the orange body color trait. Mendelian genetic analysis suggested that orange body color is a simple, ...

More than a decade of observations of dairy operations in Hawai‘i suggested that there were more black cows in the local dairy herds than white cows. Hence, the objective of the study was to investigate if hair coat color affected productive life of Holstein cows in the sub-tropics. Two large herds within 2,000 meters of each other in the Waianae Coast district were used. Lactating cows were cl...

We propose in this paper an automated colorization of segmented images based on a color harmony rule defined by Itten called the contrast of proportion. Artists create an image drawing a sketch and filling its regions following harmony rules. The most significant regions are generally filled first because of their meaning. Then the other regions are filled depending on the previous colors. Our ...
