Abstract Background Change in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) is important for defining severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Serological neoepitope markers of collagen turnover may predict rate of change in FEV1.Methods One thousand COPD subjects from the observational, multicentre, three-year ECLIPSE (Evaluation o
Purpose: Spasm of click here the near reflex (SNR) is a triad of miosis, excess accommodation and excess convergence.Primary SNR is most often functional in origin We aim to highlight the clinical features which distinguish primary convergence from other conditions with a similar presentation but more sinister underlying aetiology, for example bila
This paper presents analytically explicit results for the distribution of the number of customers served during a busy period for special cases of the M/G/1 queues when initiated with m customers.The functional equation for the Laplace transform of the number of customers served during a busy period is widely known, but several read more researcher
According to the WHO, childhood obesity is one of the most serious public health challenges of the twenty-first century.In this context, finding ways to make the healthier food choices the preferred ones can be a valuable contribution to solving this multifaceted problem.Sensory here and consumer science offers a wide range of tools that can suppor
To analyze the robustness and reliability of field area network (FAN) in the power distribution here network, a quantifiable network resilience characterization and evaluation model was proposed.The elasticity indicator was defined from network connectivity, robustness and redundancy, and the total network elasticity was calculated by the weighted
