Abstract Bronchoalveolar carcinoma presenting as non-resolving consolidation is an uncommon presentation. The typical presentation of bronchoalveolar carcinoma is asymptomatic (solitary nodule) and remains without symptoms even as disease disseminates. We report a case of bronchoalveolar carcinoma presenting as non-resolving consolidation in a young male with productive cough, exertional ...

This study presents a robust evolutionary computational technique, called multi-expression programming (MEP), to derive a highly nonlinear model for the prediction of compression index of fine-grained soils. The proposed model relates the soil compression index to its liquid limit, plastic limit and void ratio. The experimental database used for developing the models was established upon 108 co...

The study has been carried out with two broad objectives – to observe the effect of crude oil contamination on consolidation properties of soil and to predict the change in the properties in the form of mathematical correlation. The properties studied here are co efficient of compression (Cv) and compression index (Cc). Four types of naturally available soil (CH, CL, CI and SC) collected from d...

several relationships to assess at-rest pressure coefficient in retaining walls, have been developed by different researchers. these suggested relationships are generally a function of mechanical soil parameters such as internal friction angel, poison ratio and over-consolidation ratio. in integral bridges, however, this coefficient is also a function of many other parameters other than soil ch...

many factors are involved in learning and memory processes including brain nuclei, neurotransmitter systems, and the activity of ion channels. studies showed inconsistent effects of calcium channel blockers on learning process, especially memory consolidation; however, little is known about their effect on memory acquisition and retrieval. accordingly, the present study aimed to determine the e...
