a study conducted to isolation and identification of honey bee diseases fungal agents in iran west azarbaijan province apiaries. we collected 2000 samples (adult honeybee, brood, honey and pollen) of 200 apiaries in three seasons (spring, summer and autumn). samples prepared and cultivated in sda medium. finally, ascosphaera apis, causative agent of chalk brood disease, didn’t isolate of any ap...

In this paper, we propose an unsupervised domain adaptation for Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) using Stacked Denoising Autoencoder (SdA). SdA is an unsupervised learning method of obtaining the abstract feature set of input data using Neural Network. The abstract feature set absorbs the difference of domains, and thus SdA can solve a problem of domain adaptation. However, SdA does not always c...

This is a carotid artery stent (CAS) case report, which avoids post-stent deployment angioplasty (Post-SDA), with duplex confirmed continued stent expansion at 1, 3 and 30-day post deployment. This report confirms that self-expanding nitinol stents in the carotid artery may not require Post-SDA. We believe CAS can be performed without Post-SDA, which helps reduce the occurrence of intraoperativ...

We investigated the effect of subdiaphragmatic vagal deafferentation (SDA) on food intake, body weight gain, and metabolism in obese (fa/fa) and lean (Fa/?) Zucker rats. Before and after recovery from surgery, food intake and body weight gain were recorded, and plasma glucose and insulin were measured in tail-prick blood samples. After implantation of a jugular vein catheter, an intravenous glu...

The Design Metrics research team has been evaluating design documentation and calculating a number of design metrics. Design metrics are obtained from the artifacts available in the design stage of the software life cycle. Until recently the Design Metrics research team has hand calculated and recorded these metrics. A Software Design Analyzer (SDA) has been written to automate some of these ca...

We compared the ability of the semiautomated BDProbeTec-SDA system, which uses the strand displacement amplification (SDA) method, with that of the Roche Amplicor-PCR system and the Septi-Chek AFB culture system to directly detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTB) and other mycobacteria in sputum samples. A total of 530 sputum samples from 299 patients were examined in this study. Of the...

This study investigates the use of Saw Dust Ash (SDA) as partial replacement for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in sandcrete blocks. Some units of sandcrete hollow blocks were produced by partially replacing the cement content with 5% to 25% by weight of SDA, using vibrating block moulding machine. Sandcrete blocks without SDA serve as the control. The blocks produced were tested to determine t...

Intake of marine-based n-3 fatty acids (EPA, docosapentaenoic acid and DHA) is recommended to prevent CHD. Stearidonic acid (SDA), a plant-based n-3 fatty acid, is a precursor of EPA and may be more readily converted to EPA than a-linolenic acid (ALA). While transgenic soyabeans might supply SDA at low cost, it is unclear whether SDA is associated with CHD risk. Furthermore, associations of oth...

The effects and interactions of heating temperature (55 to 60 ̊C), sodium lactate (NaL; 0.0 to 4.8%), sodium diacetate (SDA; 0.0 to 0.4, w/w) and pediocin (0 to 10,000AU) on the heat resistance of L. monocytogenes 101M on the surface of frankfurters were examined. Thermal death times were determined by dipping vacuum packaged frankfurters in a circulatory water bath set to required temperatures....

This review paper is based on an observation that there exists a ‘generation gap’ between the quantitative and GIS revolutions, even though paradigmatic homology of spatial science is often presumed and cross-fertilization is straightforwardly promised. It is argued that each revolution needs to be edified to establish an integrative, sustainable research framework: SDA needs to become more acc...
