This paper presents a new model for predicting the compressive strength of steel-confined concrete on circular concrete filled steel tube (CCFST) stub columns under axial loading condition based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) by using a large wide of experimental investigations. The input parameters were selected based on past studies such as outer diameter of column, compressive strength...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the morphometry of the posterior communicating artery (PCoA), on the basis of angio-computed tomography (CT), and to give proof of the mathematical definition of the term "hypopal sia of the PCoA". MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred 3-dimensional (3D) angio-CT images, performed in adult patients with bilateral reconstruction of the PCoA (200 ...

rehabilitation of arid and semi-arid regions by tolerant native plant cover is a primary concern to create a sustainable balanced ecosystem. thus, the existing plant species of the region should be recognized together with a comprehensive survey and study of the environmental factors such as climate and soil conditions which affect the establishment of these plant species. this paper attempts t...

Objective: Oral cytology is becoming increasingly important in the early diagnosis of oral cancer, including epithelial atypia. The aim of this study is to assess the whether the cytoplasmic diameter, nuclear diameter and their nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio are reliable parameters in exfoliative cytology in detecting premalignant and malignant lesions. Study design: Cell and nuclear diameter wer...
