Abstract Structure collapse and subsidence are non-negligible geotechnical problems in loess areas. Within this framework, homogeneous undisturbed samples critical for effective research on structure. Hence, a novel method preparing artificial structured (ASL) was proposed. The calcium oxide (CaO) added to air-dried natural (NL) form carbonate (CaCO 3 ) cementation the ASL with various densitie...

In this note we consider a large step modiication of the Mizuno-Todd-Ye O(p nL) predictor-corrector interior-point algorithm for linear programming. We demonstrate that the modiied algorithm maintains its O(p nL)-iteration complexity, while exhibiting superlinear convergence for general problems and quadratic convergence for non-degenerate problems. To our knowledge, this is the rst constructio...

Background: In 1929, Oppehhein first described necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum and called it dermatitis atrophicans lipoidica diabetica, but it was later renamed necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum (NLD) by Urbach in 1932. In 1935, Goldsmith reported the first case in a nondiabetic patient. Other cases of NLD in nondiabetic patients were described by Meischer and Leder in 1948. Rollins and Wi...

The generalized linear moving sampling scheme (MSS) exploiting the second-order statistics and also high-order cumulants is studied, where set of MSS defined as shifted distance offsets involved in estimation based on a platform. Then, sparse physical arrays (SPAs) with nonuniform schemes (NL-MSS), referred to SPA-NL-MSS, are proposed optimize consecutive difference co-arrays. For same number s...

background: the ventral tegmental area (vta) is well known for its role in cardiovascular control. it is demonstrated that about 20-30% of the vta neurons are gabaergic though their role in cardiovascular control is not yet understood. this study is carried out to find the effects of gaba a and gaba b receptors on cardiovascular response of the vta. methods: experiments were performed on uretha...

1-mcp, as an ethylene action inhibitor, significantly delayed the wilting of cut carnation.this study was carried out to determine the optimum concentration and duration of 1-mcp application on vaselife of cut carnation c.v 'tempo'. six levels of 1-mcp concentrations (0,20,40, 60, 80 and 100 nl.1-1) as well as three application times (3, 6 and 9 hours) were studied in a factorial comp...

Background Obesity is a risk factor for nephrolithiasis (NL). According to an American study of a large cohort with a BMI >30, males increased the risk of NL of 30% and females of 200%. Moreover, diet plays an important role as NL risk factor, mainly in those western countries characterized by a large meet consume. This epidemiology study investigated the NL frequency in an obese Italian popula...

P versus NP is considered as one of the most important open problems in computer science. This consists knowing answer following question: Is equal to NP? It was essentially mentioned 1955 from a letter written by John Nash United States National Security Agency. However, precise statement problem introduced independently Stephen Cook and Leonid Levin. Since that date, all efforts find proof fo...
