Thyroid dysfunctions are the most common endocrine disorders and fracture is also one of the commonest morbidity observed in clinical practice. Overt hyperthyroidism, Overt hypothyroidism, Subclinical hyperthyroidism and Subclinical hypothyroidism are the four major thyroid dysfunctions. Fracture is the break in continuity of the bone. TSH has a great impact on bone metabolism . It mediates its effect through its receptors located on the osteoblasts and osteoclast . The study included 177 radio-logically confirmed cases of fracture. The level of serum TSH was estimated in all the cases. On the basis of serum TSH levels, the cases were divided in the five categories namely, four of thyroid disorders and Euthyroid. The results were subjected to statistical analysis (One - way ANOVA) done on Microsoft Excel. P value was found to be 0.05, which is highly significant. Thus concluding that the any variations in level of TSH from its normal range, is a risk for fracture. 68 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book covers three different research topics in the field of science and technology of polymeric materials. They all have in common the fact that the knowledge of the yield and/or the post yield behavior is necessary for their analysis. Further, they all deal with semicrystalline polyolefins. The first one regards the study of the yield and post-yield behavior of syndiotactic polypropylene in relation to the strain-induced structural changes. The second one regards a methodology to characterize fracture toughness of polymeric films, the Essential Work of Fracture. The validity of this method requires that the fracture propagation occurs within plastically deformed material. The last topic concerns a method to predict the long term failure of polymeric materials under creep loading when the plasticity controlled failure occurs. This book is divided in four chapters. In the first one a brief description of the main deformation mechanisms of semicrystalline polymers,is presented. The next three chapters deal with the topics presented. This book is aimed at students specializing in polymers mechanical behaviour but also at researchers and teachers in polymer mechanics 116 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The power quality issue has remained a consistent point of concentrate, primarily in light of fact that it can get numerous economical consequences in industrial processes. Among the variables that influence quality of electrical power are those identified with transient nature. They usually begin with activation of capacitor banks, sudden change of loading conditions and many other unwanted situations occurring in distribution networks. In this Research we have carried out our analysis over phase angle jump occurring in system voltage due to different system disturbances stated above. Investigations of transients with and without capacitor bank and load changing scenarios are the main focus of this work. Numerical estimations of system variables for various transient voltages and inrush currents are calculated and their effect on utility and utility networks are examined. Finally their compensation perspectives have been proposed then. Eventually Spectral analysis of RMS value and Phase Shift of System voltage is made to extract the acceptable capacitor bank size,capacitor bank switching time and load variation by observing the transient over-voltages and harmonic components. 68 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A chemical compound that when added to a liquid or gas, decreases the corrosion rate of a material, typically a metal or an alloy is named as corrosion inhibitor. The effectiveness of a corrosion inhibitor depends on fluid composition, quantity of water, and flow regime. A common mechanism for inhibiting corrosion involves formation of a coating, often a passivation layer, which prevents access of the corrosive substance to the metal. Permanent treatments such as chrome plating are not generally considered inhibitors, however corrosion inhibitors are additives to the fluids that surround the metal or related object. This review summarizes the corrosion of aluminium / alloys and its inhibition via various inhibitors used so far. 64 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The structure of a holistic plant is studied on a basis of results of examinations of analogical structures. A proposal of an experimental approach for verification of holistic principles in the plant is submitted - a structural model of events. In contrast with e.g. animals the control system of a plant is distributed. There are no specialized organs for individual parts and functions of the control, but the system inside cells is used. Thanks to a relatively simple and stabile structure of a plant, at least qualitatively, an environment is formed aggregating partial and substantial influences around certain cells. Thus at the time of solving its environment the system of control of these cells solves also substantial environment of the plant as a whole. Afterward this solution is humorally transformed into the structure of the entire plant. 80 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common, yet complex,endocrine disorder affecting women in their reproductive years. The etiology of PCOS is still unknown, yet, there is increasing evidence to support a major genetic basis, as the syndrome have strong familial predisposition. More than one gene were contributes to the heterogeneous phenotype and the clinical and biochemical presentation. Clinical phenotyping of PCOS involves determining the presence of clinical and/or biochemical androgen excess. The androstenedione is converted to estrogens by the action of aromatase enzyme which was encoded by cytochrome p450, family19 (CYP19) located on the long arm of chromosome 15. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms of the CYP19 gene were associated with variation in serum androgen concentrations among women; one of it is the SNP rs2414096. Most women with PCOS (obese or non-obese) suffer from insulin resistance. The insulin receptor is encoded by the INSR gene which is located at the chromosome 19. Several kinds of polymorphisms have been identified within INSR. Of these polymorphisms, most were single nucleotide polymorphism of the C/T SNP at His1058 in exon 17 of INSR. 164 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Plasmodium falciparum infection can lead to deadly complications such as severe malaria-associated anaemia (SMA) and cerebral malaria (CM). The exact mechanisms underlying pathogenesis of these severe forms of malaria are not fully understood yet they are associated with a lot of morbidity and mortality. Studies have shown a link between severe P. falciparum malaria and levels of circulating immune complexes (CIC) but the exact role that these CICs play in the pathogenesis of severe P. falciparum malaria is still unclear. This book therefore analyses the qualitative differences in antibody classes/subclasses in serum immune complexes (IC) between children with severe P. falciparum malaria and those with uncomplicated malaria and suggests the predictors of severe malaria. It also profiles the predominant P. falciparum antigens that contribute to IC formation in these groups. Based on the analysis it is therefore suggested that although SMA and CM are characterized by high levels of ICs, the antibody make up of these immune complexes as well as the role that they play in each may be distinct. 116 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The I-V characteristics of Tin films in the superconducting transition have been measured when ac current is applied. The experimental results suggest that the electrical response in ac is not satisfied with the I-V equation in dc. A new equation is suggested to describe the vortex motion and the vortex pair separation in the two dimensional superconducting transition with ac current, which is satisfied with our experimental results. The excess noises of Tin films in the superconducting transition have been found to depend strongly on temperature and ac current. An empirical expression of voltage noise density in term of resistance has been used to fit the data. The difference of excess noises between ac and dc can be explained by the fluctuation of vortex pair separation process which dominates the noise generation in ac. I-V characteristics and voltage noises are measured simultaneously to reveal the nature of the excess noise. The coincidence of the excess noise and the third harmonic voltage suggests that the fluctuation of vortex pair separation process is one of the main contributions to the excess noise in the two dimensional superconducting transition. 92 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The importance of mathematics at an early age stems from the finding that early competence is likely to lead to future mathematics achievement. Moreover, individuals that do well in mathematics are likely to have increased overall income earnings, while individuals that do not perform as well in mathematics are essentially limiting their potential for career options and labor market earnings. Studies have proposed processes related to mathematic underachievement that describe different ability groups to explain deficits in mathematics. This study investigated whether discrete latent classes can be observed in children within the continuum of mathematic achievement ability. The findings provided partial evidence for the hypothesized ability groups along the math achievement ability distribution. The ability groups observed were further tested for external validity. Evidence for the external validity of measures suggests that the indicators played a critical role in distinguishing between ability groups. Results gathered from this research support the notion of mathematics learning ability groups and improves the identification of children at risk for math difficulties. 116 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Graph-structured databases are widely prevalent, and the problem of effective search and retrieval from such graphs has been receiving much attention recently. For example, the Web can be naturally viewed as a graph. Likewise, a relational database can be viewed as a graph where tuples are modeled as vertices connected via foreign-key relationships, and a XML database can be represented as a graph with XML elements as nodes and containment or ID-IDREF edges as hyperlinks. Keyword search querying has emerged as one of the most effective paradigms for information discovery, especially over HTML documents in the World Wide Web. One of the key advantages of keyword search querying is its simplicity - users do not have to learn a complex query language, and can issue queries without any prior knowledge about the structure of the underlying data. Since the keyword search query interface is very flexible, queries may not always be precise and can potentially return a large number of query results, especially in large document collections. Consequently, an important requirement for keyword search is to rank the query result. The goal of this book is to present various search techniques. 116 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The present study aimed at investigating the impact of two different strategies of providing written corrective feedback on English as foreign language (EFL) learners' writing performance. To achieve this goal, sixty EFL learners who participated in the study were assigned into two groups. Throughout the period of the study, two techniques of written feedback, metalinguistic feedback and explicit correction feedback were put into practice as the treatment. The first writing assignment was used as the pretest and the last writing assignment was the posttest. To determine the proficiency level of the participants, A Nelson English Proficiency Test was used. The result of the paired t-tests showed that the writing performance of two groups improved; however, the independent t-test was performed between the posttests of the two groups indicated that the group with metalinguistic feedback had greater improvement than the group which received the explicit correction feedback. The findings suggest that providing teacher corrective feedback is effective in reducing EFL learners' grammatical errors and improves their writing achievement. 92 pp. Englisch.…
