Significant progress has been made towards understanding the large scale features of wall-bounded shear flow in zero pressure gradient (ZPG) turbulent boundary layers (TBL). Here we consider their effects in adverse pressure gradient (APG) flows where the pressure gradient parameter is held constant and Reynolds number is varied. This is done by documenting the changes in the mean velocity, str...

One important step in binary modeling of environmental problems is the generation absence-datasets that are traditionally generated by random sampling and can undermine quality outputs. To solve this problem, study develops Absence Point Generation (APG) toolbox which a Python-based ArcGIS for automated construction geospatial studies. The APG employs frequency ratio analysis four commonly used...

This study aims to research whether gensini scoring of white blood cells and their subgroups and hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Htc), erythroscyte and their computational tests are related, through retrospectively evaluating complete blood cell counts of patients who underwent coronary angiography with coronary artery disease (CAD) early diagnosis. Files of 267 patients, 113 women and 154 men ove...

Chamomile is a medicinal plant, which presents several biological effects, especially the anti-inflammatory effect. One of the compounds related to this effect is apigenin, a flavonoid that is mostly found in its glycosylated form, apigenin-7-glucoside (APG), in natural sources. However, the affectivity and safety of this glycoside have not been well explored for topical application. In this co...

The accelerated proximal gradient (APG) method, first proposed by Nesterov for minimizing smooth convex functions, later extended by Beck and Teboulle to composite convex objective functions, and studied in a unifying manner by Tseng, has proven to be highly efficient in solving some classes of large scale structured convex optimization (possibly nonsmooth) problems, including nuclear norm mini...

We propose a fast first-order method to solve multi-term nonsmooth composite convex minimization problems by employing a recent proximal average approximation technique and a novel adaptive parameter tuning technique. Thanks to this powerful parameter tuning technique, the proximal gradient step can be performed with a much larger stepsize in the algorithm implementation compared with the prior...

Background: Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is a critical hepatotoxicant causing liver injury and fibrosis via hepatic production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Apigenin (APG) natural bioactive compound flavonoid antioxidant. We, therefore, evaluated whether APG could mitigate CCl4-mediated hepatotoxicity. Methods: Rats were randomly divided administered and/or CCl4 in Control group, + groups (A...

BACKGROUND Relation extraction from biomedical publications is an important task in the area of semantic mining of text. Kernel methods for supervised relation extraction are often preferred over manual feature engineering methods, when classifying highly ordered structures such as trees and graphs obtained from syntactic parsing of a sentence. Tree kernels such as the Subset Tree Kernel and Pa...
