A series of angiotensin II (A II) receptor antagonist of some substituted 5-(biphenyl-4-ylmethyl) pyrazole were subjected to QSAR analysis using Hansch and Fujita-Ban model, by using combination of thermodynamic, electronic, spatial descriptor and presence or absence of substituent respectively. Several QSAR model were obtained using stepwise regression analysis. Two models from both the ...

The BRUniBP team’s submission is presented for the Discriminating between Similar Languages Shared Task 2015. Our method is a two phase classifier that utilizes both character and word-level features. The evaluation shows 100% accuracy on language group identification and 93.66% accuracy on language identification. The main contribution of the paper is a memory-efficient correlation based featu...

Contribution of Stroke to the Cochrane Stroke Group Trials Register To the Editor: The formulation of evidence-based stroke care practice guidelines is guided by the results of randomized trials. We sought to determine what proportion of all trial reports are published in Stroke, and what proportion might be missed by electronic search methods. One of us (B.T.) performed a page-by-page search o...

optimization techniques can be efficiently utilized to achieve an optimal shape for arch dams. this optimal design can consider the conditions of the economy and safety simultaneously. the main aim is to present an applicable and practical model and suggest an algorithm for optimization of concrete arch dams to enhance their seismic performance. to achieve this purpose, a preliminary optimizati...

Coordinated variations in brain morphology (e.g., cortical thickness) across individuals have been widely used to infer large-scale population brain networks. These structural correlation networks (SCNs) have been shown to reflect synchronized maturational changes in connected brain regions. Further, evidence suggests that SCNs, to some extent, reflect both anatomical and functional connectivit...

A new mathematical model has been developed that expresses the toxicities (EC₅₀ values) of a wide variety of ionic liquids (ILs) towards the freshwater flea Daphnia magna by means of a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR). The data were analyzed using summed contributions from the cations, their alkyl substituents and anions. The model employed multiple linear regression analysis...

The SIMPOL.1 group contribution method is developed for predicting the liquid vapor pressure po L (atm) and enthalpy of vaporization 1Hvap (kJ mol−1) of organic compounds as functions of temperature (T ). For each compound i, the method assumes log10 p o L,i(T )= ∑ k νk,i bk(T ) where νk,i is the number of groups of type k, and bk(T ) is the contribution to log10 p o L,i(T ) by each group of ty...
