Specifying the soil types and profiling the subsurface soil layers are the excellent examples of CPTu test potentials. In this research, the capability of CPTu test for specifying subsurface soil layers and classification of sediments in Urmia Lake is investigated. According to previous studies, the sediments of Urmia Lake are commonly fine grained and soft deposits with organic materials. To e...

This study focuses on using an ecosystem approach for forestland classification of the Liukuei Experimental Forest of Taiwan Forestry Research Institute. The content includes the delineation of ecosystem units using DTM, the development of a hierarchical ecosystem classification system using GIS and multivariate statistical analysis, the establishment of a forestland classification decision sup...

BACKGROUND Systematic differences in functional connectivity MRI metrics have been consistently observed in autism, with predominantly decreased cortico-cortical connectivity. Previous attempts at single subject classification in high-functioning autism using whole brain point-to-point functional connectivity have yielded about 80% accurate classification of autism vs. control subjects across a...

The genital tract as a primary site of malignant lymphoma in women is extremely rare. This report concerns a 64 year old patient with a primary vaginal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (large cell B lineage according to the REAL classification--centroblastic type according to the Kiel classification--"G" according Working Formulation) with an unusual clinical presentation--pelvic discomfort accompanied by ...

This study is a first assessment of fully polarimetric SAR data from the Advanced Land Observation Satellite (ALOS) – Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR) over the test-site of Oberpfaffenhofen in Germany. The polarimetric calibration is checked by using corner reflectors on the Oberpfaffenhofen test-site. Further, the fully polarimetric images are classified by using the ...

evidence acquisition a systematic literature searching of databases medline, embase, and google scholar was done from 1982 and updated in december 2015. search terms were “cholecystectomy”, “laparoscopic cholecystectomy”, “four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy”, “single-incision laparoscopic surgery”. context laparoscopic approach with its several techniques has become the standard method for ...

In this paper, the 10-minutes period measured wind speed data at different heights (10 m, 30 m, and 40 m) are presented for Khvaf, which is one of the major counties with high wind potential in Khorasan provinces in Iran. To the author’s knowledge, there hasn’t been any assessment works in the mentioned site. From the primary evaluation and by determining mean wind speed and also the Weibull fu...

Using a panel of new monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), five neutralizing, conformation-dependent sites have been identified on the antigenic variant of swine vesicular disease virus (SVDV) circulating currently. In studies on the antigenic conservation of these sites, the four antigenic/genetic groups of SVDV described showed distinguishable patterns, confirming this classification. By sequencing m...
