uniaxial compressive strength (ucs) is one of the most significant factors on the stability of underground excavation projects. most of the time, this factor can be obtained by exploratory boreholes evaluation. due to the large distance between exploratory boreholes in the majority of geotechnical projects, the application of geostatistical methods has increased as an estimator of rock mass pro...

This study focuses on evaluating the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of improved fine-grained soils. A large database of unconfined compressive strength of clayey soil specimens stabilized with fly ash and blast furnace slag based geopolymer were collected and analyzed. Subsequently, using adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), a model has been developed to assess the UCS of stabi...

Soil stabilization is the alteration of physicomechanical properties soils to meet specific engineering requirements problematic soils. Laboratory examination well recognized as appropriate for examining stabilized soils; however, they are labor-intensive, time-consuming, and expensive. In this work, four artificial intelligence based models (OMC-EM, MDD-EM, UCS-EM+, UCS-EM−) predict optimum mo...

We read with interest the recent article " Alternate Sequential Suture Tightening: A Novel Technique for Uncontrolled Post-partum Hemorrhage " by Ghosh and Mala [1]. They developed a novel technique of uterine compression suture (UCS) for atonic bleeding where a Hayman suture [2] is performed, but importantly they sequentially tighten the knot, yielding " very tight " compression. In 92% (11/12...

Bedrock unconfined compressive strength (UCS) is a key parameter in designing thegeosciences and building related projects comprising both the underground and surface rock structures. Determination of rock UCS using standard laboratory tests is a complicated, expensive, and time-consuming process, which requires fresh core specimens. However, preparing fresh cores is not always possible, especi...

Background: Considering the increasing rates of early hospital discharge and kernicterus in healthy full term newborns, timely identification of neonates at risk of severe hyperbilirubinemia is of great significance. The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of umbilical cord serum (UCS) bilirubin level for subsequent hyperbilirubinemia. Moreover, we compared the predictive ...

antimicrobial activity, and antiproliferative activity against humantumor cell lines. In this paper, we describe the taxonomy of the producing organism, fermentation, isolation, physico-chemical properties and biological activities ofUCS1025A and B. The cultural and taxonomical characteristics of the producing fungal strain KY4917 were as follows. Colonies on 2% malt extract agar medium are 28 ...

In this paper I want to explore the arguments for so-called ‘unarticulated constituents’ (UCs). Unarticulated constituents are supposed to be propositional elements, not presented in the surface form of a sentence, nor explicitly represented at the level of its logical form, yet which must be interpreted in order to grasp the (proper) meaning of that sentence or expression. Thus, for example, w...

https://e-kcj.org A 42-year-old woman presented with a 2-year history of shortness of breath. She was evaluated via transthoracic echocardiography at another institution and diagnosed with ostium primum atrial septal defect and advised to undergo surgery. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a mildly enlarged right ventricle and mild tricuspid regurgitation with an estimated systolic pulmona...
