Our objective was to compare the use of calories from ethanol by well-nourished and malnourished rats in terms of body weight. Female Wistar rats weighing 170-180 g at the beginning of the study were used. The animals were divided into two groups (N = 12 each): group W received water ad libitum and group E an ethanol solution ad libitum as the only source of liquid throughout the experiment. Th...

The diagnosis of artificial defects in a single stage gearbox using two non-destructive techniques (vibration and AE) and advanced signal processing techniques to discriminate between different load and defect states is the scope of the present study. Wavelet based techniques were developed and utilised in order to evaluate the vibration signals and extract diagnostic information out of them. A...

We consider linear systems of equations A(p)x = b(p),where the parameters p are linearly dependent and come from prescribed boxes, and the sets of solutions (defined in various ways) which have linear boundary. One fundamental problem is to compute a box being inside a parametric solution set. We first consider parametric tolerable solution sets (being convex polyhedrons). For such solution set...

Objective: The aim of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combined with aerobic exercise (AE) on anxiety symptoms, insulin resistance (IR) and lipid profile in women with T2DMmellitus (T2DM). Materials and Methods: In the present study, 60 T2DM women with a mean age of 33.5 (± 3.52) years were selected from the patients who were referre...

Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is an endemic zoonosis in France due to the cestode Echinococcus multilocularis. The French National Reference Centre for Alveolar Echinococcosis (CNR-EA), connected to the FrancEchino network, is responsible for recording all AE cases diagnosed in France. Administrative, epidemiological and medical information on the French AE cases may currently be considered exha...

This paper deals with an inspection of defects including corrosion and leakage by Acoustic Emission (AE) in an oil tank floor. In contrast to intrusive methods such as magnetic flux leakage, eddy current or ultrasonic, there is no need to emptying and entering the tank in AE method in order to inspection. In this research AE investigation and AE source location is presented in detail. The resul...

Acoustic emission (AE) which has been successfully applied for monitoring a rather wide variety of solids elaboration processes was almost never evaluated in the field of industrial pharmaceutical crystallization. Few papers reported that solution crystallization processes give rise to acoustic emission signals that could be related to the development of the basic crystallization phenomena. Thi...
