multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of central nervous system.women are more susceptible to this disease. one of the obvious clinical complaints in women with multiple sclerosis specially treated with beta interferones is menstrual cycle irregularity. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of menstrual irregularities and probable changes in blood levels of relate...

To study the extracellular acid-base equilibrium in vivo, it is necessary to obtain arterial blood samples without inducing concomitant respiratory or metabolic disturbances. Respiratory artifacts have been reported when general anesthesia had to be induced to allow the tapping of blood [1—5]. Similarly, blood collected by heart puncture or fast decapitation may not accurately reflect the acid-...

In this paper some patterns based on discrete Wavelet transform are studied for detection and identification of both, low frequency disturbances, like flicker and harmonics, and high frequency disturbances, such as transient and sags. Daubichies4 Wavelet function is used as a base function to detect and identify due to its frequency response and time localization information properties. Based o...

In this paper a new power quality monitoring (PQM) system for detection and classification of power quality voltage disturbances is presented. The implementation of the proposed PQM system in a graphical user interface (GUI) is also presented. The wavelet transform (WT) is used for de-noising and detection of the disturbances on power voltage line. Detected disturbances are separated using bina...

In cirrhotic patients, in addition to hepatocytes and Kuppfer cells dysfunction circulatory anatomic shunt and ventilation/perfusion (V(A)/ Q) ratio abnormalities can induce decrease in partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO(2)), in oxygen saturation of hemoglobin (SaO(2)) as well as various acid-base disturbances. We studied 49 cases of liver cirrhosis (LC) with ascites compared to ...

The urbanization process affects faunal distributions and movement patterns, contributing directly to biotic homogenization and representing an important threat to biodiversity. In particular, birds, which have been well studied as indicators of anthropogenic disturbance, are especially valuable in evaluating these impacts. While the negative impact of these processes and structures, most notab...
