Rock-burst is a common failure in hard rock related projects civil and mining construction therefore, proper classification prediction of this phenomenon interest. This research presents the development optimized naïve Bayes models, predicting rock-burst failures underground projects. The models were using four weight optimization techniques including forward, backward, particle swarm optimizat...

Secretory dynamics of ghrelin in adolescent girls with anorexia nervosa and healthy adolescents. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 289: E347–E356, 2005. First published March 8, 2005; doi:10.1152/ajpendo.00615.2004.—Ghrelin is an orexigenic peptide and a growth hormon...

The microscopic structure and pulping properties of palm fiber were explored. Soda cooking sulfate conducted compared in terms physical strength the obtained pulps. Sulfate pulp showed better performance than soda pulp, as indicated by 23% higher tensile index, 49% tear 36% burst index. To further elevate strength, long fibered (LFP), namely commercial softwood was mixed with at levels from 20%...

BACKGROUND NeuroSENSE is a depth of anesthesia monitor that uses automated electroencephalogram quantification. The Wavelet-based Anesthetic Value for Central Nervous System (WAVCNS) index calculated by this monitor is based on wavelet analysis of a normalized electroencephalogram signal in the γ-frequency band. The aim of this study was to determine the extent of disagreement between the Bispe...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected patient database. OBJECTIVE To investigate the significance and relevant factors of postural kyphosis reduction during posterior surgical treatment of thoracolumbar burst fracture. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Optimal reduction of kyphosis is a goal in the surgical treatment of thoracolumbar burst fracture. Several factors are k...

Ghrelin is an orexigenic peptide and a growth hormone (GH) secretagogue. Secretory dynamics of ghrelin have not been characterized in adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN). We hypothesized that, compared with healthy adolescents, girls with AN would have increased ghrelin concentrations measured over 12 h of nocturnal sampling from increased basal and pulsatile secretion, and endogenous ghreli...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVE The identification of factors that lead to the failure of nonoperative management in neurologically intact thoracolumbar burst fractures. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures (TLBF) can be controversial, particularly in the neurologically intact. Surgery for intact burst fractures has been advocated for ...

Observations were made of the optical afterglow of GRB020813 (Fox, Blake & Price, 2002) with the KISO observatory 1.05 m Schmidt telescope and the Bisei astronomical observatory 1.01 m telescope. Four-band (B, V, R, and I) photometric data points were obtained from 2002, August 13 10:52 to 16:46 UT, or 0.346−0.516 days after the burst. In order to investigate the early-time (<1 day) evolution o...
