In proposed method two Inpainting algorithms, the traditional...

Teachers’ Written Feedback (WTF) is a term work that serves a range of roles and purposes in teaching writing compositions. In contrast, knowing about the students’ responses and perceptions of it is crucial to make it work. This paper navigates the 300 Chinese Non–major ESL students’ attitudinal, cognitive,...

With the growing popularity of social media, inequality and discrimination in online spaces has received increasing attention. Hate speech, cyberbullying, online misogyny, and online racism are often either impractically vague or impractical narrow concepts to describe the complex ways in which “othering”...

The purpose of this paper is to briefly examine narratives of the indie horror game franchise: Five Nights at Freddy’s, created by indie-game developer Scott Cawthon. Despite the franchise’s creative gameplay mechanism, what truly captivates its huge fan base is its cryptic story and how creatively these...

Personal financial management among students is still a problem. In particular, young people, including students, are considered to be still low in managing finances.

The golden ratio was first presented by the renowned scientist Fibonacci. The ratio of two consecutive numbers in the Fibonacci sequence is alike, and it is named the...

The study of epistemology belongs not only to philosophy but also to all sciences, including interpretation (tafsir). Research on the epistemology of interpretation has several applications, including determining the development of interpretation in each era so that an evaluation can be performed. The...

Background: Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is a rare severe genetic disease which results from mutations in the gene encoding type III procollagen (COL3A1), characterized by vascular and/or hollow organic ruptures. No treatment is yet validated. We tested the ability of celiprolol, a beta1-adrenoceptor...

Objectives: Human carotid arteries exhibit viscoelastic behaviour characterised by hysteresis of the pressure-diameter relation and longitudinal wall motion1. Ultrasound techniques have been used to measure vessel wall displacements, as well as pressure and diameter waveforms, from which viscoelastic...

Background: It has been demonstrated that aortic stiffness, as determined by the carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease. Whether this measure is of use in cardiovascular risk stratification in clinical practice needs to be determined. We investigated...

Aortic stiffness assessed by carotid-to-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) often fails to predict cardiovascular (CV) risk and mortality in the very elderly. This may be due to the non-linear association between PWV and compliance, or to blood pressure decrease in the frailest subjects. Moreover, total...

Background: Pulse wave velocity (PWV), measure of aortic stiffness, is predictive of cardiovascular events. PWV is strongly related to age and blood pressure but its relation to other risk factors and presence of calcification is unclear. We sought to determine the association between PWV and cardiovascular...

In case of vascular weakness or thrombosis stents are implanted and brace vessels from the inside to assure the proper blood flow. A widespread method to monitor the state of blood vessels in terms of their stiffness and diameter is to measure the pulse wave velocity (PWV). The stiffer or the narrower...

In this paper, we extend our investigations of a special class of perturbations of copulas introduced in [7]. Despite a surprising fact that this kind of perturbations does not change the value of tail dependence of the original copulas, their use yielded models with considerably improved fitting qualities.

We have proposed a new method of advancing from CS Unplugged through the new process of CS Plugged to full-fledged computer programming languages, as a means of deepening understanding in computer programming education. We also have proposed a new Five-Step Method consisting of the following steps: Step...

Based on the equivalence relation, we can partition a set U, formally, different equivalence relations correspond to different partitions of U. In this paper, based on Yager's work, we discuss how to compare the different partitions, moreover, we obtain some indexes to select a better partition from...

Programmable Logic Control (PLC) is a microprocessor used for automation in industrial processes such as control and supervision. For this reason, PLC courses are important to be given to students as a preparation for entering the industrial world. PLC subject must be supported by a trainer who can represent...
