http://ejgo.org Uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS) is a relatively rare tumor in gynecologic malignancy that comprises less than 5% of uterine cancers, but it often shows an aggressive phenotype that has contributed to 30% of uterine cancer deaths [1]. Ovarian carcinosarcoma (OCS) is a very rare ovarian tumor that accounts for only 1% of ovarian cancer, and is composed of both malignant epithelial an...

The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of intact rocks is one of the key parameters in the course of site characterizations. The isotropy/anisotropy condition of the UCS of intact rocks is dependent on the internal structure of the rocks. The rocks with a random grain structure exhibit an isotropic behavior. However, the rocks with a linear/planar grain structure generally behave transversely-...

In past days many researchers have been worked on the stabilized Black Cotton (BC) soil to determine the Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) values in a conventional ways in laboratory thorough experiments, which is time consuming and requires number of persons. So we the authors of this study attempted to determine these values using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). ANN which are simple mat...

BACKGROUND Thailand has achieved universal health coverage since 2002 through the implementation of the Universal Coverage Scheme (UCS) for 47 million of the population who were neither private sector employees nor government employees. A well performing UCS should achieve health equity goals in terms of health service use and distribution of government subsidy on health. With these goals in mi...

The mechanisms by which the excess genetic material of chromosome 21 results in the dysmorphologic features of Down syndrome (DS) are largely unknown. It has been found that the extracellular matrix of nuchal skin of DS fetuses exhibits an higher content of hyaluronan (HA) compared to that of euploid fetuses. Since HA plays a central role in many morphogenetic processes during embryogenesis, an...

The OSA Uniform Color Scales were derived using a unique geometry for the physical samples. Regular rhombohedral packing allows each sample to be compared to twelve other equally distant samples. While this sampling scheme provides an efficient geometry for sample comparison and allows multiple cleavage planes, it obscures the underlying perceptual attributes. However, it is relatively straight...

Uniaxial compressive and Brazilian tensile strengths (UCS and BTS) of rocks are considered important properties in the design of most the geotechnical projects that interact with rock such as slope stability and underground excavation. Measuring UCS and BTS using standard laboratory tests are time consuming, tedious and expensive. Moreover, it requires a large number of well-prepared rock cores...

BACKGROUND Cervical disorders in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have been an important problem for a long time. Although the recent progression of the treatment strategies for RA might change the progression of atlantoaxial vertical subluxation (VS) in RA patients, to reveal the risk factors for VS progression should be important at present. Osteoporosis (OP) and RA share the same risk fact...

In this paper attempts have been done to create a mortar with relatively high uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), easy casting, high flexibility, instant hardening, low cost and easy availability. The main use of this material is to physically model the mechanical behavior of jointed rock-like blocks. The effect of four parameters such as joint roughness coefficient (JRC), bridge length (L), b...
