Accurately modeling the dynamic behaviors of fast tool servo (FTS) is one of the key issues in the ultraprecision positioning of the cutting tool. Herein, a quasiphysics intelligent model (QPIM) integrating a linear physics model (LPM) and a radial basis function (RBF) based neural model (NM) is developed to accurately describe the dynamic behaviors of a voice coil motor (VCM) actuated long ran...

Peak expiratory flow rates (PEFR) were measured in 60 pregnant women aged 20-28 years (average 24 yrs) height between 130-160 cm (average 154.5 cm), each month beginning from 3rd month of gestation and also 8-10 weeks postpartum using, Wright's Peak Flow Meter. The PEFR declined from 329.12 +/- 4.40 lpm in 3rd month to 286.22 +/- 3.81 lpm in 9th month of gestation and increased to 347.86 +/- 2....

We analyze within the light-cone path integral approach [4] the recent CERN SPS data [19] on the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect for photon bremsstrahlung in quantum regime from 149, 207, and 287 GeV electrons. Calculations have been carried out treating accurately the Coulomb effects and including the inelastic processes. Comparison with experiment is performed accounting for multi-photon emi...

H4 avian influenza virus is one of the most prevalent influenza virus subtypes in birds. The evolution and pathogenicity of H4 AIV in domestic birds of China remain largely unclear. In the present study, a total of eight H4 AIV strains isolated in duck farm and live poultry markets (LPM) were characterized. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that these strains are divided into two groups in the Eu...

OBJECTIVE Baby EAR circuit is a new modified enclosed afferent reservoir anesthetic breathing system for pediatric patients. By following His Majesty the King of Thailand's self-sufficiency philosophy, the circuit is simple and made of low-cost and easy-to-find materials found in the operating room. This present study was to investigate clinical use of the circuit and to find the optimal fresh ...

The bremsstrahlung of an electron and ee-pair creation by a photon in a medium is considered in high-energy region, where influence of the multiple scattering on the processes (the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal (LPM) effect) becomes essential. The integral characteristics: the radiation length and the total probability of radiation and pair photoproduction are analyzed under influence of the LPM ef...

BACKGROUND Celiac disease (CD) has been linked to cancer, especially lymphoproliferative malignancy (LPM). Earlier research has shown that first-degree relatives (FDRs) to individuals with CD are at increased risk of autoimmunity including CD, but data on their risk of cancer are scarce and contradictory. We aimed to assess whether Swedish FDRs to individuals with CD are at increased risk of ca...

Vertebrate internal organs display invariant left–right (L–R) asymmetry. A signalling cascade that sets up L–R asymmetry has recently been identified (reviewed in [1]). On the right side of Hensen’s node, activin represses Sonic hedgehog (Shh) expression and induces expression of the genes for the activin receptor (ActRIIa) and fibroblast growth factor-8 (FGF8) [2,3]. On the left side, Shh indu...
