These patients have an unfavorable prognosis, and they frequently seek complementary and alternative therapies (CAM). Historically, this represents an understudied and underreported compon...

Microbial biosurfactants with high ability to reduce surface and interfacial surface tension and conferring important properties such as emulsification, detergency, solubilization, lubrication and phase dispersion have a wide range of potential applications in many industries. Significant interest in these compounds has been demonstrated by environmental, bioremediation, oil, petroleum, food, b...

High temperature environment causes detrimental effects on health. In the present study, the effects of intake of several kinds of beverage on blood components during exercise under the high temperature environment were evaluated. The 10 subjects were student of the H University. Exercise intensity was 50-60% O2maxx and treadmill exercise was continued for 1 h. The kinds of beverage were water,...

In this paper, we present a novel textual case-based reasoning system called SOPHIA-TCBR which provides a means of clustering semantically related textual cases where individual clusters are formed through the discovery of narrow themes which then act as attractors for related cases. During this process, SOPHIA-TCBR automatically discovers appropriate case and similarity knowledge. It then is a...
