Evaluating the correlation between changes in design rainstorms and extreme rainstorm events under climate change facilitates flood control disaster reduction. Based on daily rainfall data of 609 stations during 1958–2017, Pearson-III curve, least square method, F-test, other methods were adopted to study response over nearly 60 years China, explore capacity engineering change. The conclusions ...

This paper presents a comparative study of different error concealment (EC) techniques in the context of distributed speech recognition (DSR) that exploits repetition, interpolation or subvector concealment to counteract transmission errors. A number of experiments are conducted and the results demonstrate that repetition is as good as, or even better than, linear interpolation whereas the subv...

Physiological wall shear rates and stresses in vessel culture or tissue engineering are relevant for maintaining endothelial cell (EC) integrity. To this end, the culture medium should have an appropriate viscosity. The viscosity of a standard culture medium was increased using xanthan gum (XG) and compared with literature data on whole blood, resulting in a medium with blood-analog shear-thinn...

Transplantation of Bcl-2-transduced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (ECs) in protein gels into the gastrocnemius muscle improves local reperfusion in immunodeficient mouse hosts with induced hind limb ischemia. We tested the hypothesis that incorporation of local, sustained growth factor delivery could enhance and accelerate this effect. Tissue engineering scaffolds often use synthetic p...

This paper presents experimental results of a coverage analysis in a WCDMA network using the 850 MHz band; an urban electromagnetic propagation environment is considered. Obtained coverage estimation maps are based on Krige statistical method of interpolation. Key performance parameters used in this work are the CPICH and Ec. The results could be used to identify problems and help to optimize c...

When calculating the mechanical and electromechanical characteristics of asynchronous motors (AM), as a rule, their T-shaped equivalent circuits (EC) are used. Parameters these circuits, determined from reference literature or catalogs, constant values correspond to working part in terms rated speed motor slip. Calculations AM at parameters EC wide range slips lead significant errors outside op...

BACKGROUND This study assessed the incidence of reported gastrointestinal (GI) complications in patients treated with enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS) versus mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and to examine the impact of dose manipulations on biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR). METHODS A retrospective study was conducted in 379 renal transplant recipients initiated on EC-MPS or MMF th...

Previous studies demonstrated that the loss of function of the CDKN2A/p16/INK4A gene is mainly caused by the hypermethylation of CDKN2A, however, whether or not it is associated with the incidence and clinicopathological characteristics of endometrial carcinoma (EC) remains unclear. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis aiming to comprehensively assess the role of CDKN2A hypermethylation ...
