The Big Bang-Big Crunch (BB–BC) method is a relatively new meta-heuristic algorithm which inspired by one of the theories of the evolution of universe. In the BB–BC optimization algorithm, firstly random points are produced in the Big Bang phase then these points are shrunk to a single representative point via a center of mass or minimal cost approach in the Big Crunch phase. In this paper, the...

PURPOSE To present the clinical experience in our cancer center with multibeam inverse intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for early stage breast cancer (BC) patients with whole breast irradiation (WBI). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 622 patients with Stage 0 to III BC treated from 2008 to 2011 with wide local excision and WBI, using an inverse IMRT technique. All of the patients we...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome prediction power of classical prognostic factors along with surrogate approximation of genetic signatures (AGS) subtypes in patients affected by localized breast cancer (BC) and treated with postoperative radiotherapy. We retrospectively analyzed 468 consecutive female patients affected by localized BC with complete immunohistochemical and p...

Background This study compared the solubility and the pH of different root canal sealers in vitro. Material and Methods BioRoot™RCS, TotalFill BC Sealer, MTA Fillapex, SealapexTM, AH Plus, EasySeal, Pulp Canal Sealer™ and N2 were tested. Similar specimens were prepared using ring molds with an internal diameter of 20 ± 0,1 mm and a height of 1,5 ± 0,1 mm and digitally weighted to register the...

Estrogens tend to lower the blood pressure of cockerels. Estrogen-treated cockerels and estro-gen-secreting hens are immune to the chronic pressor effects of desoxycorticosterone acetate (DCA) and cortisone. B OTH desoxycorticosterone acetate (DCA) and cortisone effect moderate hypertension in cockerels." 2 The present studies demonstrate that estrogen-treated cockerels and estrogen-secreting h...

Abstract Bone char (BC) is a promising P-recycling fertilizer but with rather low P-solubility, which can be increased by modifying the BC surface elemental sulfur (BC plus ), effects on soil P status have not been tested under field conditions yet. Hence, long-time experiment was started 2013 to track fate of and into different pools compared control triple superphosphate (TSP) treatment for s...

We revisited the mass spectra of ?cc++ baryon with positive and negative parity states using Hypercentral Constituent Quark Model Scheme Coloumb plus screened potential. The ground state has been determined by LHCb experiment, anticipated excited masses have compared several theoretical methodologies. transition magnetic moments all heavy baryons ?cc++, ?cc+, ?cc+, ?bb0, ?bb?, ?bb?, ?bc+, ?bc0,...
