the aim of this study was investigating some blood parameters of blue-neck male ostriches (struthio camelus) with 4 months old after feeding a diet containing 3% sunflower oil for two months. in the morning, after about 12 h of fasting, some blood samples were collected from the wing vein of ostriches at the beginning and 60 days of study in department of animal sceince arak university . the pl...

With the retirement of the space shuttle near and rising fuel prices driving a demand for more efficient travel, alternative engine technology is being heavily researched. The scramjet, or supersonic combustion ramjet, has proven to be a promising development in reusable hypersonic transportation. Flight testing these engines, however, is very expensive and no scramjet flight has yet been recov...

Chunk parsing has focused on the recognition of partial constituent structures at the level of individual chunks. Little attention has been paid to the question of how such partial analyses can be combined into larger structures for complete utterances. Such larger structures are not only desirable for a deeper syntactic analysis. They also constitute a necessary prerequisite for assigning func...

Estimation is the process of determining a likely value for a population parameter (eg, the true population mean or proportion) based on a random sample. In practice, a sample is drawn from the target population, and sample statistics (eg, the sample mean or sample proportion) are used to generate estimates of the unknown parameter. The sample should be representative of the population, ideally...

background and objective: cerebral arteriovenous malformation (cavm) hemodynamic is disease condition, results changes in the flow and pressure level in cerebral blood vessels. measuring flow and pressure without catheter intervention along the vessel is big challenge due to vessel bifurcations/complex bifurcations in arteriovenous malformation patients. the vessel geometry in cavm patients are...

thermal rearrangement of 7,7-dichloro-[a,c]-dibenzo-[4,1,0]-bicycloheptane (1) to 5,6-dichloro-5hdibenzo-[a,c]-cycloheptene (2) was studied in the solid phase and in solvents with different polarities. thefirst-order constants at various temperatures for the rearrangement process were evaluated from theabsorption time data. the activation parameters for this rearrangement were obtained from the...

Although the goal of clustering is intuitively compelling and its notion arises in many fields, it is difficult to define a unified approach to address the clustering problem and thus diverse clustering algorithms abound in the research community. These algorithms, under different clustering assumptions, often lead to qualitatively different results. As a consequence the results of clustering a...

The input value for the maximum spatial scan extent (K) of a prospective space-time scan statistical (PSTSS) technique is one important parameter that ensures accurate detection of the predictive hotspot of geographical point events. Currently, there is no general consensus on how to determine the optimal value of K that maximises the predictive accuracy, especially in crime hotspot prediction....

We consider the existence of pairs of probability ensembles which may be efficiently distinguished from each other given k samples but cannot be efficiently distinguished given k0 < k samples. It is well known that in any such pair of ensembles it cannot be that both are efficiently computable (and that such phenomena cannot exist for nonuniform classes of distinguishers, say, polynomial-size c...

This letter is in response to the discussion of our recent paper entitled " The effect of parameter uncertainty on achieved safety integrity of safety system " [1]. We are grateful to the discussants for their constructive comments and suggestions, and in particular their insight into our proposed methods to measure safety-related (SR) uncertainty. The detailed response is given below. We agree...
