Abnormal combustion - methanol versus gasoline
The maximum efficiency of conventional gasoline engines is largely determined by the compression ratio, and this is limited by the onset of kno8k. The maximum cylinder size is similarly constrained. The relatively higher knock resistance of methanol opens up possibilities for increased efficiency …

Abnormal Pattern Recognition in Spatial Data
In the recent years, abnormal spatial pattern recognition has received a great deal of attention from both industry and academia, and has become an important branch of data mining. Abnormal spatial patterns, or spatial outliers, are those observations whose characteristics are markedly different …

Aneuploidy and DNA fragmentation in morphologically abnormal sperm
… not preclude the transmission of genetically abnormal sperm. Correlation between abnormal sperm morphology and chromosomal abnormalities has been suggested but not been conclusive and less is known about the connection between sperm morphology and DNA integrity. Sperm morphology will be …

ABNORMAL GRAIN GROWTH IN MAGNETOSTRICTIVE GALFENOL ROLLED SHEET
… NbC particles enhance the rollability of and abnormal grain growth (AGG) in polycrystalline Galfenol rolled sheet. Driving forces, due to grain boundary energy, surface energy, deformation energy and magnetic fields are generally considered to explain grain growth phenomena. In this …

Evaluation of ambulatory diagnosis of abnormal uterine bleeding
In the ambulatory assessment of women with abnormal uterine bleeding, the main aim is to reach a diagnosis and thereby allow appropriate treatment. Excluding endometrial pathology, particularly carcinoma and hyperplasia, is of paramount importance. However there is no consensus as to which set of …

Diagnosing and debugging abnormal battery drain on smartphones
… this change has also led to a rapid increase in Abnormal Battery Drain (ABD) problems that can be caused by software defects, mis- configuration, or environmental changes. Such issues can drain a fully-charged battery within a couple of hours, and can potentially affect a significant number of …

Abnormal eating patterns and the relationship to dissociative experiences
… was to determine if a relationship exist between abnormal eating patterns and dissociative experiences, as well as if a relationship exist between bulimia nervosa and food preoccupation symptomatologies. This study used a non-clinical non-diagnosed population of university students (n=100) to …

Hereditary multiple exostosis : a study in abnormal bone growth
… their unusual distribution and the associated abnormalities of growth are still incompletely defined and largely unexplained.

Endovascular trophoblast cell behavior in normal and abnormal pregnancy
Preeclampsia is an important disease during pregnancy and causes significant maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. Despite intense research efforts, the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease remain largely unknown. Since placentas from preeclamptic patients are smaller than normal, and …

A collaborative, multi-agent based methodology for abnormal events management
Modern chemical plants have complicated unit operations with considerable recycles. The complex controls and instrumentation installed often compensate and conceal faults, causing many faults in the process to remain undetected, until serious consequences occur. This thesis strives to explore new …

Determining the endometrial phenotype of women with abnormal uterine bleeding
INTRODUCTION: Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) affects at least 1-in-3 reproductive-aged women and has a debilitating impact on quality of life. It is a symptom which can be caused by several possible conditions. These conditions have been grouped together under the International Federation of …

Photosynthetic adaptations in grasses to abnormal levels of soil cations
… in populations of grasses adapted to growth on abnormal levels of cations. The main investigative plants belong to the Agrostis genus. Plants were sampled from habitats with soi.ls which provided a range of abnormal levels of cations; mine spoil sites with heavy metal contaminations, calcareous …

Zebrafish Retinal Development and the Effects of Abnormal Light Rearing Conditions
… larvae zebrafish. In addition, after exposure to abnormal light rearing conditions, larvae zebrafish showed deficits in visual behavior, even though there appears to be no effect on the gross morphology of the young zebrafish retina. The purpose of the present study was to use a physiological …

Uncovering p53 Mutations and Abnormal Gene Expression in Pediatric Adrenocortical Cancer
<p>Pediatric adrenocortical cancer is extremely rare and often fatal (approximately 0.3-0.4 cases per million worldwide; 50% 5-year survival). The incidence of pediatric adrenocortical cancer in southern Brazil is 10-15 times higher than the worldwide incidence. Due to the rarity of adrenocortical …
