to enhance solubility and the performance of a plant gum (from south peach tree of china, sp gum) as a drilling fluid additive, we explored the potential of modified sp (msp) gum by modifying it with epichlorohydrin. the modification conditions, such as the mass ratio of  the crosslinking agent, ph and temperature, were optimized and the results show that 56.40 g/100g mass ratio of the crosslin...

introduction: clinical policies of “10 steps of breast feeding” proposed by world health organization (who) can promote breast feeding. the goal of this study was to evaluate breast feeding in the first hour after birth and its relation to the influencing factors. material and methods: in this cross-sectional study, the data is related to mothers and infants referring to two baby friendly hospi...

Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is a rare but feared complication in immunocompromised patients. Most experience with PJP stems from patients with the human immunodeficiency infection (HIV) although nephrologists see the occasional case, usually in renal transplant patients during the first post-transplant year. The diagnosis requires a high degree of suspicion and treatment is with high...

Learning of classification models from real-world data often requires additional human expert effort to annotate the data. However, this process can be rather costly and finding ways of reducing the human annotation effort is critical for this task. The objective of this paper is to develop and study new ways of providing human feedback for efficient learning of classification models by labelin...

Significant attention has been given to the relationship between small coffee farms and biodiversity in recent years. This article argues that the interest in “birdfriendly” coffees and other forms of biodiversity marketing have much to learn from the 15-year development of another relatively successful, environmentally friendly coffee product: certified organic coffee. This Mexican case study ...

The research of Boolean index sets of graphs is one of the important graph theory in the graph theory. Boolean index sets of graphs are to use the vertex sets and the edge sets of graphs to study the characteristics of various graphs and their inherent characteristics through corresponding the mapping function to 2 Z . Its theory can be applied to information engineering, communication networks...

Metabolic fluxes are a cornerstone of cellular physiology that emerge from a complex interplay of enzymes, carriers, and nutrients. The experimental assessment of in vivo intracellular fluxes using stable isotopic tracers is essential if we are to understand metabolic function and regulation. Flux estimation based on 13C or 2H labeling relies on complex simulation and iterative fitting; process...

This paper deals with a description of NaniTrans, a tool for segmentation and labeling of speech. The tool is programmed to work on the MATLAB application interface, in any of the supported platforms (Unix, Windows, Macintosh). The tool has been designed to annotate large speech databases, which can be also partially preprocessed (but require manual supervision). It supports the definition of a...

textile industries use different chemicals in indigo dyeing processes. interest in eco-friendlyprocessing in the textile industry has recently increased because of a larger awareness of environmental issues. for the case of indigo dyeing process, the reducing agent conventionally used is the - environmentally unfavourable – sodium dithionite, which will be replaced in this study with an ecologi...
