The effects of an active vitamin D analog, eldecalcitol (ELD), on bone mineral density (BMD), bone geometry, and biomechanical properties of the proximal femur were investigated by using clinical CT. The subjects--a subgroup of a recent randomized, double-blind study comparing anti-fracture efficacy of ELD with alfacalcidol (ALF) - constituted 193 ambulatory patients with osteoporosis (189 post...

A locating-dominating set of an undirected graph is a subset vertices S such that dominating and for every u,v?S, the neighbourhood u v on are distinct (i.e. N(u)?S?N(v)?S). Locating-dominating sets have received considerable attention in last decades. In this paper, we consider oriented version problem. each w?V?S, N?(w)?S?? pair u,v?V?S, N?(u)?S?N?(v)?S. We following two parameters. Given G, ...

The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of ketamine/ xylazine and pentobarbital anaesthesia on heart rate variability as a marker of autonomic nervous system activity. The experiments were performed in ketamine/ xylazine (10 mg/kg/15 mg/kg) and pentobarbital (40 mg/kg, i.p.) anaesthetized female Wistar rats, after adaptation to a light-dark cycle of 12 hours light: 12 hours dar...

En este trabajo se presenta el sistema deductivo para la lógica proposicional doble (LD) y los gráficos existenciales gamma-LD. Se prueba, de manera rigurosa, consistencia LD que teoremas corresponden, exactamente, con válidos Cuando restringe lenguaje al clásica (LC), restricción asociada a gamma-LD coincide del alfa Charles Sanders Peirce. Resulta intuicionista (LI) son LD; además, cuando LI,...

As a consequence of the Russian invasion Ukraine, Europe is facing shortage chemical fertilizers for agriculture. Therefore, use byproducts biomass anaerobic digestion, e.g., solid (SD) and liquid (LD) digestate, could be key solution to cope with this problem. In framework, present study aimed evaluate effect both SD LD, derived from same feedstock, on biometric, physiological, biochemical par...

In this paper, a two-parameter Lindley distribution, of which the one parameter Lindley distribution (LD) is a particular case, for modeling waiting and survival times data has been introduced. Its moments, failure rate function, mean residual life function, and stochastic orderings have been discussed. It is found that the expressions for failure rate function mean residual life function and s...

A model of the magnetosheath structure proposed in a recent paper from the authors is extended to estimate the magnetopause stand-o€ distance from solar wind data. For this purpose, the relationship of the magnetopause location to the magnetosheath and solar wind parameters is studied. It is shown that magnetopause erosion may be explained in terms of the magnetosheath magnetic ®eld penetration...

PURPOSE During the 24-week PIILR study of protease inhibitor (PI) withdrawal, improved lipids and reduction in intraabdominal visceral fat was seen, however, there was also a loss of subcutaneous limb fat in patients with HIV-lipodystrophy (LD). It was hypothesized that overall improvement in LD may require a longer period of time off PIs. METHOD Follow-up of patients randomized to stop or co...

by means of he's homotopy perturbation method (hpm) an approximate solution of velocity eld is derived for the ow in straight pipes of non-newtonian uid obeying the sisko model. the nonlinear equations governing the ow in pipe are for- mulated and analyzed, using homotopy perturbation method due to he. furthermore, the obtained solutions for velocity eld is graphically sketched and compared w...
