In this article techniques borrowed from Computer Algebra (Gröbner Bases) are applied to deal with Medical Appropriateness Criteria including uncertainty. The knowledge was provided in the format of a table. A previous translation of the table into the format of a “Rule Based System” (denoted RBS) based on a three-valued logic is required beforehand to apply these techniques. Once the RBS has b...

objective(s): in developing countries and worldwide cervical cancer is an important cause of   female mortality. reports describing the frequency and pattern of abnormal pap smears in saudi arabia, using the revised bethesda system (rbs) are very few. the current study was conducted to explore the changing pattern of epithelial cell abnormalities (eca) detected in pap smears (ps) in females of ...

This paper examines the cyclic performance of reduced beam section (RBS) moment connections incorporating larger member sizes than those allowed in current seismic provisions for prequalified steel connections, through experimentally validated three-dimensional nonlinear numerical assessments. Validations adopted finite element procedures are carried out against experimental results from two te...

We have observed the luminous (L2−10 keV ≃ 6×10 erg s) radio–quiet quasar RBS 1124 (z = 0.208) with Suzaku. We report the detection of a moderately broad iron (Fe) line and of a weak soft X–ray excess. The X–ray data are very well described by a simple model comprising a power law X–ray continuum plus its reflection off the accretion disc. If the inner disc radius we measure (rin 6 3.8 gravitat...

Background/Rationale: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has not only affected the physical wellbeing but also mental health of many individuals, including young adults such as medical students. Many factors influence a student’s ability to cope with and grow from stressful experiences, their resilience behaviors traits. Building upon prior studies on post-traumatic growth in studen...
