Aggregative data infrastructures (ADIs) are information systems where organizations can find the tools to integrate their data sources to form uniform and richer information spaces of object metadata descriptions. Novel sustainable approaches for the realization of ADIs are based on the adoption of ADI enabling technologies which support the realization, maintenance and upgrade of ADIs and prom...

better understanding and recognizing the amount of cultural development in iranian provinces and comparing them, causes a particular attention and helps to recognize their weaknesses, strengths, potentialities and deficiencies. the purpose of this paper is to analyze cultural development indicators in iran. the writers of this article present an applied research and use a comparative method. us...

Creatine kinase (CK) is an enzyme that produces and uses phosphocreatine to transfer energy maintain tissue cellular homeostasis, being considered the main controller of homeostasis. Its activity in plasma/serum has been commonly used evaluate damage, since CK released into bloodstream during damage. This review summarizes current knowledge regarding use fish, focusing on its potential as indic...

Some nondestructive techniques of the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) have improved their analysis in past decades. Among them, electromechanical impedance-based SHM technique (EMI-SHM) has been tested several fields and associated to different statistical methodologies. Considering nature spatial variation damage metric data along structures, herein is proposed use indicator kriging method ...

The electromechanical (EM) impedance technique using piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) transducers for structural health monitoring (SHM) has attracted considerable attention in various engineering fields. In the conventional EM impedance technique, the EM admittance of a PZT transducer is used as a damage indicator. Statistical analysis methods such as root mean square deviation (RMS...

Acetabular cartilage lesions are frequently found during hip arthroscopy. The arthroscopic view offers an exceptional perspective to assess cartilage injuries especially in their early stages. We know that articular cartilage damage occurs progressively up to the development of hip osteoarthritis requiring joint replacement. Numerous studies have shown that advanced cartilage damage is an indic...
