Fifteen men, who had undergone Billroth I gastrectomy and 19 men who had undergone Billroth II gastrectomy were studied with respect to vitamin D and other indices of calcium metabolism. The Billroth I group had hypocalcaemia, raised concentration of serum alkaline phosphatase, and reduced bone mineral content. The same biochemical disturbances were found in the Billroth II group, but bone mine...

Purpose This brief note sheds light on the links between Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) codes and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) United Nations. Design/methodology/approach Three alternative methods based keyword overlap to establish SDGs JEL are presented. Findings These simple linkages illustrate that themes have corresponding closely related classification codes. Research limitat...

MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) is currently used for clinical applications, such as biomarker identification, particularly for the study of solid tumors. The ability to map specific compounds that have been determined to be biomarkers and therapeutic targets is relevant for the evaluation of the efficacy of targeted therapies. This article describes a new method called Spectro-Immu...

Asteroseismology of the planet-hosting star µ Arae. II. Seismic analysis. Abstract. As most exoplanets host stars, HD 160691 (alias µ Ara) presents a metallicity excess in its spectrum compared to stars without detected planets. This excess may be primordial, in which case the star would be completely over-metallic, or it may be due to accretion in the early phases of planetary formation, in wh...

In constructing a confidence interval for the mean difference of two independent populations, we may encounter problem having low coverage probability when there are many zeros in data, and non-zero values highly positively skewed. The violation normality assumption makes parametric methods inefficient such cases. this paper, jackknife empirical likelihood (JEL) adjusted (AJEL) proposed to cons...
