the hydrodynamic behavior of approaching flow and the amount of sediment entry into right-angled lateral intakes in diversion dams were investigated using a laboratory channel by experimental measurement and observation. the velocity field upstream of the intake in the main channel and before it at the sluice gate was measured at different elevations of flow at different discharge rates of the ...

context this systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to determine the prevalence (by overall relative frequency) and clinical information of the behcet’s disease in middle east and north africa (mena) and it has an important effect on the health policy and performing complementary studies in future. evidence acquisition we performed this systematic literature review from several datab...

OBJECTIVE 25-hydroxyvitamin D2/D3 (25-OHD2/D3) determination is a reliable biomarker for vitamin D status. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was recently proposed as a reference method for vitamin D status evaluation. The aim of this work is to compare two commercial kits (Chromsystems and PerkinElmer) for 25-OHD2/D3 determination by our entry level LC-MS/MS. DESIGN AND METHODS C...

In this paper, the differently implicational universal triple I inference algorithms of fuzzy reasoning are discussed. We generalize fuzzy reasoning triple I algorithms to differently implicational (1, 2, 1) type universal triple I algorithms, and their solutions (FMP universal triple I solution and FMT universal triple I solution) are structured. As the corollaries of the main results in this ...

We introduce and study the triple of a quasitriangular Lie bialgebra as a natural extension of the Drinfeld double. The triple is itself a quasitriangular Lie bialgebra. We prove several results about the algebraic structure of the triple, analogous to known results for the double. Among them, we prove that in the factorisable case the triple is isomorphic to a twisting of g ⊕ g ⊕ g by a certai...

We introduce a class of ordered triple systems which are both Mendelsohn triple systems and directed triple systems. We call these Mendelsohn directed triple systems (MDTS(v, λ)), characterise them, and prove that they exist if and only if λ(v−1) ≡ 0 (mod 3). This is the same spectrum as that of regular directed triple systems, of which they are a special case. We also prove that cyclic MDTS(v,...

An infinite countable Steiner triple system is called universal if any countable Steiner triple system can be embedded into it. The main result of this paper is the proof of non-existence of a universal Steiner triple system. The fact is proven by constructing a family S of size 2 of infinite countable Steiner triple systems so that no finite Steiner triple system can be embedded into any of th...

Little is known about the etiologic profile of triple-negative breast cancer (negative for estrogen receptor/progesterone receptor/human epidermal growth factor), a breast cancer subtype associated with high mortality and inadequate therapeutic options. We undertook this study to assess the risk for triple-negative breast cancer among women 45 years of age and younger in relation to demographic...
