There is currently an increasing demand for Building Information Modelling (BIM) to be integrated into green projects. BIM able evaluate building assessment tools by digitising and assessing buildings during their development stage. In Malaysia, the Green Index (GBI) promotes sustainability in built environment. Six categories of criteria will assessed three certification stages. This study foc...

BACKGROUND Lactic acid-producing bacteria (LAB) probiotics demonstrate immunomodulating and anti-inflammatory effects and the ability to lessen the symptoms of arthritis in both animals and humans. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-design, clinical pilot trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of the LAB probiotic preparation, Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086, on sy...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to document the immune activating and anti-inflammatory effects of inactivated probiotic Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086 (Staimune™) cells on human immune cells in vitro. METHODS In vitro cultures of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy blood donors were treated with inactivated B. coagulans GBI-30, 6086 cells for 24 hours. After inc...

We developed a monkey model of 16 minutes global brain ischemia (GBI) resulting in reproducible, severe, permanent functional neurologic deficit with long term (7 days) postischemic (PI) survival made possible by standardized intensive care with 24 hour coverage by trained personnel. Quantitated neurologic deficit (ND) and brain histopathological examinations were developed. Fifteen minutes GBI...

Resonant strengths have been measured for dielectronic recombination of Li-like iodine, holmium, and bismuth using an electron beam ion trap. By observing the atomic number dependence of the state-resolved resonant strength, clear experimental evidence has been obtained that the importance of the generalized Breit interaction (GBI) effect on dielectronic recombination increases as the atomic nu...

The purpose of this study was to examine grand battement devant at the barre, in the center, and traveling through space. The primary focus was to consider weight transfer in three conditions: from two feet to one foot for the barre and center conditions, and from one foot to the other foot in traveling. Forty female dancers volunteered (mean age 30.0 ± 13.0 yrs) and were placed in three groups...

Urban green and blue infrastructure (GBI) associated ecosystem services (ES) are increasingly recognized for their potential to address urban sustainability challenges. This has resulted in an increase studies quantifying ES cities. In this review, we analysed 850 peer-reviewed publications characterize assessment terms of geographical location, GBI type methodological aspects (e.g. indicators)...

Gaze-based interaction (GBI) techniques have been a popular subject of research in the last few decades. Among other applications, GBI can be used by persons with disabilities to perform everyday tasks, as a game interface, and can play a pivotal role in the human computer interface (HCI) field. While gaze tracking systems have shown high accuracy in GBI, detecting a user's gaze for target sele...

We overview the logic of Bunched Implications (BI) and Separation Logic (SL) from a perspective inspired by Hiroakira Ono’s algebraic approach to substructural logics. We propose generalized BI algebras (GBI-algebras) as a common framework for algebras arising via “declarative resource reading”, intuitionistic generalizations of relation algebras and arrow logics and the distributive Lambek cal...

The objective of this study is to determine the auditory gain, quality of life, audiological benefits, in bone-anchored hearing device users (BAHA). It is a retrospective and concurrent evaluation of thirty patients fitted unilaterally and seven fitted bilaterally for at least six months. Patients were assessed with audiometric testing and application of Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) and Abbr...
