By using the modified Milne-Thomson’s polynomial given in Araci et al. (Appl Math Inf Sci 8(6):2803–2808, 2014), we introduce a new concept of the Apostol Hermite–Genocchi polynomials. We also perform a further i...
This paper looks at presuppositions of adpositions, a topic which has not been examined much, in spite of the very large body of work on presuppositions. Some earlier assertions about adpositional presuppositi...
In general, technological levels have been assessed based on specialist’s opinion through the methods such as Delphi. But in such cases, results could be significantly biased per study design and individual ex...
Industrial-scale use of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-gel beads as biocarriers is still not being implemented due to the lack of understanding regarding the optimal operational parameters. In this study, the paramet...
Language is characterized by both ecological properties and social properties, and competition is the basic form of language evolution. The rise and decline of one language is a result of competition between l...
Buprenorphine is a semi-synthetic opioid used for the treatment of opioid dependence. Opioid use, including buprenorphine, has been increasing in recent years, in the general population and in pregnant women. ...
In case of intravascular fluid depletion, large veins react to volume expansion with dilation. Little is known about the reaction of arterial vessels. We herein report on the effect of a standardized fluid bol...
Monetary delay discounting is a measure of impulsivity associated with substance use and abuse, problem gambling, and other health-related outcomes. More recently, delay discounting has been shown to be associ...
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease with economic and public health impact, particularly for human and animal populations within developing countries that relay on livestock production. A cross sectional study w...
Recently, the compressive tracking (CT) method (Zhang et al. in Proceedings of European conference on computer vision, pp 864–877, 2012) has attracted much attention due to its high efficiency, but it cannot well...
To evaluate a role of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values measured from diffusion-weighted imaging we investigated its association with clinicopathological tumor characteristics of bladder cancer.
Climate change is impacting water users in many sectors: water supply, farming, industry, hydropower, fishing, housing, navigation and health. Existing situations, like population growth, movement of populatio...
