obesity usually results from a combination of several modifiable and non-modifiable contributing factors, such as genetics, race, and socioeconomic status. other factors, including birth by cesarean section, perinatal antibiotics usage, and promotion of exclusive breastfeeding for six months, could be potentially prevented or modulated. however, one of the factors can be easily implemented thro...

Özet: 1960'lı yılların sonundan bu yana yazılım projeleri yürütülmektedir. Yazılım mühendisliği alanında yapılan araştırmalar bu projelerin başarı ile tamamlanması için alınması gereken önlemleri anlatsa da günümüzde hala pek çok yazılım projesi başarısızlıkla sonuçlanmaktadır. Ayrıca, bu alanda yapılan araştırma sonuçları daha çok proje süreci başlamadan alınması gereken önlemleri belirtir. Bi...

There was a time – in the dim historical past – when foundries actually made ASICs with only 5000 to 50,000 logic gates. But FPGAs and CPLDs conquered those markets and pushed ASIC silicon toward opportunities with more logic, volume, and speed. Today's largest FPGAs approach the few-million-gate size of a typical ASIC design, and continue to sprout embedded cores, such as CPUs, memories, and i...

BACKGROUND Up to 12% of Australian adults and almost one in five adolescents are estimated to have engaged in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) at some time in their life. Friends and family are most likely to notice signs of NSSI, but may be unsure how to intervene. Mental health first aid guidelines were developed in 2008 on how to do this through providing initial support and encouraging appro...

We show that there can be no finite list of conditional independence relations which can be used to deduce all conditional independence implications among Gaussian random variables. To do this, we construct, for each n > 3 a family of n conditional independence statements on n random variables which together imply that X1⊥X2, and such that no subset have this same implication. The proof relies ...

One of the challenging issues that has been frequently studied is the way Imām ‘Alī (a) addresses women in Nahj al-balāgha. Amina Inloes, the contemporary American researcher of Islam compares these statements with the qur’ānic discourse and early Shī‘a Kitāb Sulaym b. Qays. She believes that these statements are in conflict with the significations of the Qur’ān and the early ...
