Previous research shows that dissolved P losses in runoff are well related to soil test P (STP), thus, various P loss prediction models incorporate the use of a STP vs. runoff DRP relationship. However, the relationship between STP and runoff DRP will vary based on soil type due to differences in soil properties. The purposes of the first two studies were to (i) investigate the effect of soil m...

JPEG2000 is a new standard that was developed to take over the widely used JPEG standard. In JPEG2000, the use of wavelet transform and EBCOT greatly improves the quality of the image and the compression ratio. They do, however, take up a lot of processing time. We therefore implemented the processing intensive tasks, namely the reversible discrete wavelet transform (DWT), arithmetic encoding, ...

Abstract This research is focusing on determining the porosity of shale rock using Digital Rock Physics (DRP) method. The DRP method uses fiji software to process μCT-scan data coreplug through segmentation and thresholding processes determine pores then value porosity. purpose this be able more quickly verify result that laboratory test. shows obtained by test has a small difference so quite r...

Excessive manure phosphorus (P) application increases risk of P loss from fields. This study assessed total runoff P (TPR), bioavailable P (BAP), and dissolved reactive P (DRP) concentrations and loads in surface runoff after liquid swine (Sus scrofa domesticus) manure application with or without incorporation into soil and different timing of rainfall. Four replicated manure P treatments were ...

BACKGROUND An imbalance in the excitatory/inhibitory systems in the pain networks may explain the persistent chronic pain after hallux valgus surgery. Thus, to contra-regulate this dysfunction, the use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) becomes attractive. OBJECTIVE We tested the hypothesis that two preoperative active(a)-tDCS sessions compared with sham(s)-tDCS could improve t...

BACKGROUND Drug-Related Problems (DRPs) commonly occur among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. However, few studies have been performed on T2DM patients with dyslipidemia. This purpose of this study was to assess drug-related problems (DRPs) and factors associated with its occurrence. METHODS The retrospective study involved 208 T2DM in-patients and out-patients with dyslipidemia, and...

WiMedia standardized a fully distributed high data rate communication using ultra wideband (UWB) for wireless personal area networks (WPANs). WiMedia Medium Access Control (MAC) provides a synchronous data communication service by Prioritized Channel Access (PCA) and isochronous service by Distributed Reservation Protocol (DRP). In this paper we propose three different approaches to analyze the...

Several recent studies have indicated that miR-30a plays critical roles in various biological processes and diseases. However, the mechanism of miR-30a participation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) regulation is ambiguous. Our previous study demonstrated that miR-30a may function as a novel therapeutic target for lung fibrosis by blocking mitochondrial fission, which is dependent on dyna...

Despite recent advances in the therapy of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the chemotherapy efficacy against NSCLC is still unsatisfactory. Previous studies show the herbal antimalarial drug dihydroartemisinin (DHA) displays cytotoxic to multiple human tumors. Here, we showed that DHA decreased cell viability and colony formation, induced apoptosis in A549 and PC-9 cells. Additionally, we fi...
