Two main experiments and an auxiliary experiment were carried out to determine the effects of dietary available phosphorus and electrolyte balance on the growth performance and acid-base balance of broiler chickens. The results showed that mineral balance can affect the growth performance of broiler chickens fed practical-type diets in essentially commercial situations, and indicate that total ...

Currently, multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) is considered to be one of the modulation schemes of UWB and is being actively investigated. It is necessary to provide lowcost receivers for consumers to receive wide support for the MB-OFDM system. Such receivers can be achieved by utilizing direct-conversion architecture. Direct-conversion architecture suffers from IQ ...

Direct conversion receivers in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems suffer from direct current (DC) offset, frequency offset, and IQ imbalance. We have proposed an IQ imbalance estimation scheme in the presence of DC offset and frequency offset, which uses preamble signals in the time domain. In this scheme, the DC offset is eliminated by a differential filter. However, the...

[Purpose] To investigate the effects of two common asymmetric sitting positions on spinal balance. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty-seven healthy subjects in their twenties were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups. Asymmetric positions of resting the chin on a hand and crossing the legs were performed by each group for 1 hour. After 1 hour, the subjects lay in the supine position again a...

Study Design Literature review. Objective To discuss the evaluation and management of fixed sagittal plane imbalance. Methods A comprehensive literature review was performed on the preoperative evaluation of patients with sagittal plane malalignment, as well as the surgical strategies to address sagittal plane deformity. Results Sagittal plane imbalance is often caused by de novo scoliosis or i...

background and purpose: decreased males’ motivation for entering universities has caused a low male/female ratio in different university majors. in 2005-2006 academic year, enrollment of female students in rafsanjan university of medical sciences reached 83.14%. this tremendous gender imbalance may lead to the development of a mono-sex system for health service providers and will.affect the soc...

We show that the novelty detection approach is a viable solution to the class imbalance and examine which approach is suitable for different degrees of imbalance. In experiments using SVM-based classifiers, when the imbalance is extreme, novelty detectors are more accurate than balanced and unbalanced binary classifiers. However, with a relatively moderate imbalance, balanced binary classifiers...

Unraveling how regulatory divergence contributes to species differences and adaptation requires identifying functional variants from among millions of genetic differences. Analysis of allelic imbalance (AI) reveals functional genetic differences in cis regulation and has demonstrated differences in cis regulation within and between species. Regulatory mechanisms are often highly conserved, yet ...
