BACKGROUND The use and popularity of the biphasic waveform defibrillator as a replacement for the monophasic waveform defibrillator are increasing, but it is unclear whether this can improve the rate of survival among out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients. This study aimed to verify the hypothesis that the outcome of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients who received defibrillation shock wi...

BACKGROUND A European-wide population based case-control study (European rare cancer study) undertaken in nine European countries examined risk factors for uveal melanoma. They found a positive association between cooks and the risk of uveal melanoma. In our study we examine whether cooks or people who worked in cook related jobs have an increased uveal melanoma risk. METHODS We conducted a c...

Fruit classification is quite difficult because of the various categories and similar shapes and features of fruit. In this work, we proposed two novel machine-learning based classification methods. The developed system consists of wavelet entropy (WE), principal component analysis (PCA), feedforward neural network (FNN) trained by fitness-scaled chaotic artificial bee colony (FSCABC) and bioge...

In 1665 Johan Stickers had established himself as apothecary in "De Witte Pluym" at the Grote Markt in Breda. In 1669 he bought a garden at the Gasthuiseinde, where he must have grown herbs. This purchase was followed by many others. In and around Breda, Stickers and his wife Anneken Geerit Claess de Gruyter acquired a number of houses, grounds, landed estates, meadows, orchards, and farms. In ...

The numerical study of aeroacoustic problems places stringent demands on the choice of a computational algorithm,because it requires the ability to propagate disturbances of small amplitude and short wavelength. The demands are particularly high when shock waves are involved, because the chosen algorithm must also resolve discontinuities in the solution. The extent to which a high-order-accurat...
