Soviet leaders realized that Israel was bound to move closer to the United States, a process that was enhanced by the Korean War and the consequent rapprochement between the USSR and the "colonized" countries, including the Arab states. The author devotes two chapters to Soviet Jewry and to the steady drift in the Gove... |
Six half-scaled wall panels were tested to investigate the effect of openings on their load-carrying capacity; these walls were subjected to a sequence of slow cyclic in-plane drifts and shake table–generated out-of-plane ground motions. Two specimens were masonry-infilled frames with and without openings. The other fo... |
In this paper, we design Multi-Band OFDM (MB-OFDM) UWB systems, with two transmit and two receive antennas, with the goal of achieving 1 Gbps data rate. We study the performance of these systems with different modulation schemes. The Packet Error Rate (PERs) and the operating range of these systems are obtained using f... |
Recent years have witnessed wide applications of deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) in different scenarios. However, its large computational cost and memory consumption seem to be barriers to computing restrained applications. Model quantization is a common method to reduce the storage and computation burden by d... |
Oxygen isotope ratios of garnet provide well-established means to investigate crustal fluid histories. Traditionally, δ18O values from skarn garnets have been used to track the hydrothermal evolution of an individual skarn body through time. We, however, use garnet from 14 skarns from the Jurassic (ca. 175 to ca. 148 M... |
Most trauma services throughout the country are staffed on a fixed-call rotational basis. Staff is deployed in a linear fashion when trauma often occurs in a skewed sporadic fashion resulting in large fluctuations in volume, injury severity, and mechanism of injury. Medical error and increased mortality have been assoc... |
Man-nature relationship is one of the central themes of great poet Laxmi Prasad Devkota. This relationship is both analogous and Antithetical. Nature is source of life, knowledge and pleasure foe human beings. But at the same time it is cruel and angry giving pain and suffering to human beings. Similarly, man both love... |
The birth process allows the progressive formation of complex intestinal microflora composed of myriad bacteria, leading to this recently identified host-bacterial mutualism in the human intestine. This kind of cross-talk originating from birth is opportunistically used by the young host to initiate its own immune syst... |
The paper presents the use of a Moeller MFD Titan in the automation of an indoor lighting installation: energy is saved by using lamps with electronic ballast that allows control through analog inputs.

In recent years, calibrated energy modeling of residential and commercial buildings has gained importance in a retrofit-dominated market. Accurate weather data plays an important role in this calibration process and projected energy savings. It would be ideal to measure weather data at the building location to capture ... |
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) swarm technology has been a hot topic. The concept of swarm comes from nature, such as the cooperation of bee colony or ant colony, so the research of swarm intelligence (SI) optimization algorithm inspired by swarm activities in nature is beneficial to the development of swarm UAVs tech... |
A Guide to Early Printed Books and Manuscripts is a thin volume. Given the cost of the book, I expected a massive volume, rich with full-color illustrations. When the book arrived in my mailbox, I was surprised to discover, after a cursory glance, that not only was it brief in length but that the few illustrations pres... |
We compare two models—disk and straight-edge—for diffraction effects when distant stars are occulted by the Moon and asteroids. For a large obstacle, the error that occurs when using the straight-edge model for a round obstacle is shown to be inversely proportional to the radius of the obstacle and proportional to the ... |
BACKGROUND |
COVID-19 is a systemic viral infection with a significant impact on the hematopoietic system, hemostasis as well as immune system. It would be of utmost importance to explore if the most routinely used tests could serve as an aid in determining patient's clinical status or predicting severity of the disease. |
METHODS |
A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 506 Covid-19 positive patients and 200 controls over a period of two months (June and July 2020). The cases were sub-classified based on disease severity into mild to moderate (n=337), severe (n=118) and very severe (n=51) and based on survivor status into survivors ... |
RESULTS |
There were statistically significant differences in WBC count, Absolute neutrophil count (ANC), Absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), absolute monocyte count (AMC), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) Red blood cell distribution width (RDW-SD) and RDW CV betwee... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Leucocytosis, neutrophilia, lymphopenia and monocytosis were characteristic findings in covid cases while NLR and NLR+RDW-CV emerged as the most effective single and combination CBC parameters in distinguishing mild to moderate and severe cases respectively.Abortion and the veil of ignorance: a response to Minehan |
In a recent JME paper, Matthew John Minehan applies John Rawls’ veil of ignorance against Judith Thomson’s famous violinist argument for the permissibility of abortion. Minehan asks readers to ‘imagine that one morning you are back to back in bed with another person. One of you is conscious and the other unconscious. Y... |
