We propose an extension of the beamtime for the approved experiment E05-115 which is in preparation for beam and will be ready by the end of 2008. This experiment has been proposed and approved by PAC28 while we were taking data for it’s precursor, E01-011. Meanwhile, the data analysis for E01-011 has matured and further strengthened our confidence in the proposed experimental procedure. Furthe...

Data mining has recently emerged as an important field that helps in extracting useful knowledge from the huge amount of unstructured and apparently un-useful data. Data mining in health organization has highest potential in this area for mining the unknown patterns in the datasets and disease prediction. The amount of work done for cardiovascular patients in Pakistan is scarcely very less. In ...
