horacic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has become aneurysms were included and the extent of aortic coverage or Testablished as a less invasive option for the management of descending thoracic aortic diseases compared with conventional open surgical repair. TEVAR has reduced morbidity and mortality compared with open surgical repair, but still it is associated with a significant risk of spin...

this study was designed to examine the effects of retinoic acid adding to cumulus and/or fibroblast cellsmonolayer on the development of mouse early embryos. one-cell mouse embryos were obtained from nmrimice after superovulation by an intraperitoneal injection of 5 iu equine chorionic gonadotrophin (ecg)followed 48 hrs later by 5 iu human chorionic gonadotrophin (hcg). mouse embryonic fibrobla...

In this study, it was surveyed to know whether an oral single dose of oleuropein could mimic the cardiac preconditioning in rats’ hearts or whether its prolonged oral administration could protect the heart against the aconitine-induced arrhythmia in rats. Eighty male Wistar rats were divided into two series (n = 8 in each group). In the first series, all groups (except the control (Con) group) ...

Two experimental factors (dietary treatment with or without pelleted-concentrate supplement (PCS) and sex) were investigated in crossbreed post-weaning calves to monitor their effects on performance, hematological profile, and plasma mineral concentration. Twenty-four post-weaning calves were classified according to sexually (either male or female) and randomly distributed into two dietary trea...

In this paper we present a hardware design technique which utilises runtime recon guration for a particular class of applications. For a multiplication circuit implemented within an FPGA, a speci c instance of multiplying by a constant provides a signi cant reduction of required logic when compared to the generic case when multiplying any two arbitrary values. The use of recon guration allows t...

Imbalanced training sample means that one class is represented by a large number of examples while the other is represented by only a few. This problem may produce an important deterioration of the classifier performance, in particular with patterns belonging to the less represented classes. The majority of the studies in this area are oriented, mainly, to resolve problems with two classes. How...

Improving outcomes for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) remains a major unmet healthcare need— in this, we entirely agree with the ‘pro’ debate article by Gisli Jenkins. In this regard, the efforts of drug companies in developing novel drugs and collaboration with expert clinical investigators in the field of IPF in wanting to demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy for patients w...

Let $G$ be a simple graph with vertex set ${v_1,v_2,ldots,v_n}$. The common neighborhood graph (congraph) of $G$, denoted by $con(G)$, is the graph with vertex set ${v_1,v_2,ldots,v_n}$, in which two vertices are adjacent if and only they have at least one common neighbor in the graph $G$. The basic properties of $con(G)$ and of its energy are established.
