A new detection technique, originally thought for the detection of explosives in cargo containers, is presented in this paper for the particular application of isotopic detection of nuclear materials in a Nuclear Energy System (NES). This technique is called Nuclear Resonance Fluorescence (NRF) and the reference fuel scheme to which it is applied is the Sodium Fast Reactor (SFR). The objective ...

Background: The Nutrient Rich Foods (NRF) Index is a formal scoring system that ranks foods on the basis of their nutrient content. When used in conjunction with a food prices database, it can help identify foods that are both nutritious and affordable. Objective: Our aim was to identify healthy, affordable foods and food groups by using the NRF index and US Department of Agriculture (USDA) nut...

The flour from white rice, Arborio (ARF) and Basmati (BRF) varieties, the black rice Negro (NRF) variety, were investigated in this study terms of proximate composition, solvent retention capacity (SRC), thermo-mechanical properties dough bread quality. flours fell into classes with very low amylose content (ARF BRF); NRF had highest contents protein (11.16%), crude fiber (4.75%), ash (1.30%), ...

Nutrient-rich food (NRF) index scores are dietary quality indices based on nutrient density. We studied the design aspects involved in the development and validation of NRF index scores, using the Dutch consumption data and guidelines as an example. We evaluated fifteen NRF index scores against the Dutch Healthy Diet Index (DHD-index), a measure of adherence to the Dutch dietary guidelines, and...

Background: The global burden of diseases (GBD) neurological disorders is increasing worldwide. purpose this study to determine the between 1990 and 2019 in Asian regions. Methods: GBD updated every year, most recent version provides according age, gender, region from 2019. was totally separately evaluated as incidence, prevalence, death, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), years life l...

Background The objective of this study was to validate a simple predictive model for survival of patients with advanced cancer. Methods Previous studies with training and validation datasets developed a model predicting survival of patients referred for palliative radiotherapy using three readily available factors: primary cancer site, site of metastases and Karnofsky performance score (KPS)....

l cd in binding (concanavalin A, biotinv lated ricinus communis agglutinin, and biotinylated siiccinylated wheat germ agglutinin (B-SWGA)) was used to detect the glycosylated proteins associated with a residual protein fraction [insoluble in 4% sodium dodecyl sulfate and termed the nuclear residual fraction (NRF)] or with nuclear matrix preparations from normal rat liver, azo dye (3'-MeDAB)-ind...

To examine the role of three cortical eye fields during internally guided decision-making processes, we recorded neuronal activities in the frontal eye field (FEF), supplementary eye field (SEF), and lateral intraparietal cortex (LIP) using a free-choice delayed saccade task with two synchronized targets. Although the monkeys must perform the task in a time-locked manner, they were free to choo...

Introduction The General Clause Theorem Prover (GCTP) was designed as a test bed for semantic search control strategies in theorem proving. It is the unique combination of the Graph Construction (GC) procedure of [Shostak 1976] (which is known to out-perform many (all?) linear format systems), embedding the axioms of equality by the use of the Resolution by Unification and Equality (RUE) and Ne...
