Hypertensive disorders (HDs) as the most prevalent medical problem during pregnancy, predispose the patient to a lot of comorbidities and may even cause maternal or fetal death. The rate of infertility has been increasing in recent decades. So, we collected and summarized data about the co-existence of these two entities and found that HDs are somewhat more common in women receiving fertility t...

formability of automotive friction stir welded twb (tailor welded blank) sheets isnumerically investigated in biaxial stretching based on hemispherical dome stretch (hds) test infour automotive sheets of aluminum alloy 6111-t4, 5083-h18, 5083-o and dp590 steel, havingdifferent thicknesses. the effects of the weld zone modeling and the thickness ratio on formabilityare evaluated. in order to car...

The aim of this study was to develop and investigate the validity and reliability of the Hospital-in-the-Home (HITH) Dependency Scale (HDS). The HDS is a new instrument designed to measure the dependency of HITH patients. It calculates an overall dependency level by rating four dimensions of the provision of HITH nursing care. Specifically, these dimensions are the complexity of assessment, com...

The hybrid nature of complex systems such Hybrid Dynamic Systems (HDS) makes the modeling, analysis and monitoring tasks very challenging. The complexity due to the hybrid behavior of HDS remains always the most significant reason. However, the graphical models such Bond graph and Petri Nets are extremely appreciable allowing the best description of the internal causalities in HDS. In this pape...

LIM-homeodomain transcription factors (LIM-HDs) are essential in tissue patterning and differentiation. But their expression patterns in the inner ear are largely unknown. Here we report on a study of twelve LIM-HDs, by their tempo-spatial patterns that imply distinct yet overlapping roles, in the developing mouse inner ear. Expression of Lmx1a and Isl1 begins in the otocyst stage, with Lmx1a e...

Different indexing techniques have been proposed to index either the continuous data space (CDS) or the non-ordered discrete data space (NDDS). However, modern database applications sometimes require indexing the hybrid data space (HDS), which involves both continuous and non-ordered discrete subspaces. In this paper, the structure and heuristics of the ND-tree, which is a recently-proposed ind...

In African countries, higher rates of late-stage cancers at the time of first diagnosis are a reality. In this context, hazardous drugs (HDs), such as chemotherapy, play an important role and have immense benefits for patients' treatment. HDs should be handled under specific conditions. At least a class 5 environment primary engineering control (PEC), physically located in an appropriate buffer...

We define a new heuristic hDS for ASP, and implement it in the (disjunctive) ASP system DLV. The new heuristic improves the evaluation of Σ2 /Π P 2 hard ASP programs while maintaining the benign behaviour of the well-assessed heuristic of DLV on NP problems. We experiment with the new heuristic on QBFs. hDS significantly outperforms the heuristic of DLV on hard 2QBF problems. We compare also th...

This paper focuses on realizing distributed and pervasive information management systems using the novel tool HDS (Heterogeneous Distributed System). First, we frame the presented research in the scope of information agent technology by reviewing relevant work on the subject and by stating the notable role that communication plays in such a field. Then, we introduce HDS and we provide details o...
