This study aims to analyze words in Dari that have the same semantic prime: See using Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM). research was conducted a descriptive qualitative approach.This reaserch used theory by Goddard and Wierzbicka about NSM. The data found this are connected associated with prima See/Didan language. sources of 5 informants who original prosecutors from Kabul which is capital ...

An experimental and analytical investigation was conducted on reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in flexure using the near-surface mounted carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (NSM-CFRPs) technique. A total of 11 full-scale RC rectangular were cast tested under a monotonic three-point bending test, up to failure. The main test variables adopted this study compressive strength (high, medium...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a lymphomagenic human herpesvirus, colonises the host through polyclonal B cell-growth-transforming infections yet establishes persistence only in IgD⁺ CD27⁺ non-switched memory (NSM) and IgD⁻ CD27⁺ switched memory (SM) B cells, not in IgD⁺ CD27⁻ naïve (N) cells. How this selectivity is achieved remains poorly understood. Here we show that purified N, NSM and SM cell p...

Abstract The complex magnetic ordering of parent compounds most unconventional superconductors is crucial for the understanding high-temperature superconductivity (SC). Within this framework, we have performed temperature-dependent magnetotransport experiments on a single crystal SmFeAsO, compound iron pnictide superconductors. We observe multiple features in measured transport properties at te...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRFS) and disease-free survival (DFS) between patients undergoing mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) and those undergoing mastectomy alone. METHODS A retrospective review of patients who underwent mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction for resectable invasive breast cancer between...

Reinforced concrete (RC) beams may require flexural strengthening due to the corrosion of reinforcing bars or changes in design load. The near surface mounted (NSM) and externally bonded (EB) techniques, using either glass carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP CFRP) composites, are used for deficient RC beams. However, strengthened with both techniques susceptible debonding failure FRP composit...

This paper presents an experimental work to investigate the effect of fatigue loading and high service temperature on flexural performance near-surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP)-strengthened concrete (RC) beams. The program included 11 beams, where strengthening (CFRP) ratio (0.06 % 0.18 %), load level (R1 = 0.57 R2 0.38) applied (20 °C 70 °C) have been considered. Ex...

Ningbo City in Zhejiang Province is one of the largest port cities in China and has achieved high economic development during the past decades. The port construction, land reclamation, urban development and silt deposition in the Ningbo coastal zone have resulted in extensive coastline change. In this study, the spatio-temporal change of the Ningbo coastlines during 1976–2015 was detected and a...

AIM Validation of the oncological safety of nipple-sparing subcutaneous mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with implants (NSM) and of the outcome in patients with locoregional recurrences (LRRs) after this procedure. METHODS Two-hundred and sixteen patients, mean age of 52.8 (29-81) years with primary unilateral breast cancer, not suitable for partial mastectomy because of large (>3cm) o...
