background: diagnosis of anemia is challenging in resource-poor settings due to inadequate laboratory resources. this study assessed the validity of the tallquist haemoglobinometer in assessing anemia among pregnant women in osogbo, southwestern nigeria. methods: this was a cross - sectional study, in which 200 pregnant women of reproductive age were selected using multistage sapling method. a ...

background: this study was conducted to assess the validity and reliability of ankle?brachial index (abi) by oscillometric blood pressure (bp) measurement as compared with an automated abi as a gold standard. materials and methods: this study was conducted at golden jubilee medical center, thailand. all the data were collected from 303 patients at risk of peripheral arterial disease (pad) who w...

By proposing a predictive method with no adjustable parameter and by using infinite dilution activity coefficients of components in binary mixtures obtained from UNIFAC model, the binary interaction parameters (k12) in van der Waals mixing rule (vdWMR) and Orbey-Sandler mixing rule (OSMR) have been evaluated. The predicted binary interaction parameters are used in Peng-Robinson-S...

As computational fluid dynamics techniques and tools become widely accepted for realworld practice today, it is intriguing to ask: what areas can it be utilized to its potential in the future. Some promising areas include design optimization and exploration of fluid dynamics phenomena (the concept of numerical wind tunnel), in which both have the common feature where some parameters are varied ...

An all-pole modeling technique, Linear Prediction with Lowfrequency Emphasis (LPLE), which emphasizes the lower frequency range of speech, is presented. The method is based on first interpreting conventional linear predictive (LP) analyses of successive prediction orders with parallel structures using the concept of symmetric linear prediction. In these implementations, symmetric linear predict...
